Clemson Tigers vs. LSU Tigers Best Bet

LSU will look to upend an ugly five-game losing streak of season openers. Last season, LSU lost in disappointing fashion to a marginal USC team - they'll take on a much tougher opponent in Clemson, who has legitimate national title aspirations.

Since losing the national title game in 2020 to LSU, Clemson's program has slightly fallen off from year-over-year title contender to a good-but-not-great ACC contender. However, the Tigers of Clemson were able to gather plenty of momentum down the stretch last season, winning the ACC title over SMU, and pushing Texas in the first round of the College Football Playoff.

Clemson will rely on quarterback Cade Klubnik, who is one of the early favorites to hoist the Heisman. On the other side of ball, Clemson should be terrorizing for opposing offenses, specifically the defensive line led by TJ Parker.

Parker is a projected top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and is one of college football's best pass rushers. He'll be accompanied by Peter Woods, who is the anchor to this defense. On the back end, they'll lean on Avieon Terrell to limit this LSU passing attack, who had 13 PBU's a season ago.

Despite their poor track record, head coach Brian Kelly will have LSU ready to go in this one in what is a pivotal year in Baton Rouge. This is arguably his most talented roster since he has been there, and they have the talent to hang around with this Clemson squad.

However, the LSU offensive line has a potential nightmare matchup on their hands against this Clemson front. Garrett Nussmeier had a prolific season a year ago in part because he was able to stay upright all year long. As a pocket passer, he's bound to have some early season hurdles breaking in four new starters on the offensive line. Clemson's DL is as brutal a matchup as it gets for this new-look LSU OL to open the season with - I expect LSU to struggle to move the ball in this one.

Can LSU beat Clemson?

LSU can certainly beat Clemson. Although oddsmakers have Clemson as the favorite, it is slight (just 3.5 points). LSU is returning one of the nation's top signal callers in Garrett Nussmeier, and is expected to make a push for the College Football Playoff.
