Betting on the Tigers?
The Tigers opened as the favorites despite Ohio State having the No. 1 spot in the country in the week heading into the conference championships.
Clemson stumbled at UNC in Week 5, when they barely defeated the Tar Heels 21-20, but shook it off by crushing opponents down the stretch. The Tigers outscored opponents 415-78 in the following eight games after playing North Carolina.
However, the Tigers’ schedule in the regular season wasn’t all too tough, and they only played two ranked opponents – No. 12 Texas A&M and No. 23 Virginia.
This will be an exciting matchup between Clemson’s offense and Ohio State’s defense. Trevor Lawrence was only sacked twelve times this season, and the Buckeyes will be hard-pressed to slow him down.
