“I'm taking LSU, but I'm taking this really close, 24-20 type game, lower scoring.”
Why David Pollack picked them: Pollack takes LSU in a 24–20 type game and refuses the Clemson upset on the road. He frames it as old-school Dabo versus new-school Kiffin/portal football and expects a lower-scoring slog because both sides are breaking in a lot of new pieces, especially Clemson's offense after last year's identity mess.
The displayed number is a dated event-level Kalshi snapshot, not live odds and not necessarily the market when the original prediction was spoken or first captured.
Josh Pate, Paul Finebaum, Andy Staples, Greg McElroy, Clay Travis, Tom Fornelli, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, and Nick Saban also picked LSU. George Wrighster and Danny Kanell picked Clemson. The full split is on the game page.
