“Maybe he could be the type of guy that go in there to a low scoring game, keep it tight enough with that defense, show up and shock the world. Give me Clemson plus 325. I will take that one.”

“I think it would surprise me a little bit more, Clemson winning by seven... there's a world where an LSU 20-point win is 27-6 or something like that. Clemson's offense is just non-functional, and LSU grinds out a win.”

“It's hard for me to believe that Clemson, with a new quarterback, is going to go into Baton Rouge and win that game.”

Greg McElroy✓ Hit
“So does it happen? No, I don't. I do think Clemson keeps it close. So I do think LSU wins the game, but I would be surprised if Clemson didn't make it very competitive throughout most of this contest.”

“Give me LSU minus 10. I mean, I've been standing on a mountaintop yelling about Clemson for a while now. I don't think this program is in a good spot. You can't tell me LSU isn't far more talented than this Clemson team is. It's Baton Rouge. It's the first game of the Kiffin era. LSU minus 10.”

“I'm taking LSU, but I'm taking this really close, 24-20 type game, lower scoring.”
