Beerfish Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Why the two week layoff before this game? It really does lose all momentum from the build up of the semi finals. In any case who ya got? The Juggernaut LSU or the defending champs who know how to play in this big game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda strange that the most recent bowl game was Louisiana vs Miami (Ohio). No disrespect to those programs (and I know it was a Monday night game) but its certainly strange how they schedule the games these days, lol. I'm going against Vegas and taking Clemson. Also its who I picked in my ESPN pick em group with some friends, and if I get it right, I win the group. No money involved but still fun.

Bugg Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hey, mods, delete the other thread, no need. Line is LSU-5.5. Schedule makes no sense. If they had played Friday, fresh audience, lots of people off looking to party. Monday after 16 hours of NFL playoffs, not smart. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergen Jet Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 The week layoff is ludicrous. I have completely lost interest in college football by this point in the year. If this isn't a great game it will be shut off very early in the evening. LSU is going to win this tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Both teams had the 2-week layoff so I don't know if there's much advantage for either team in the regard, whereas we could argue that Bye week was partially responsible for Baltimore's rust and KC's very slow start and drops this past weekend. I want Clemson, but I think LSU wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I've been leaning LSU for a while but man, something about these Clemson teams make it very hard to pick against them. Gun to head, I'm still sticking with LSU. And honestly the only reason is it just feels like their year...especially with them playing a home game tonight. That said, I hate LSU with a passion. Low class disrespectful scumbags and I kind of want to see their dreams crushed in embarrassing fashion. So while I think LSU wins, I'm pulling for Clemson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been balling out and are playing basically a home game but are only 5.5 point favorites per Vegas (I believe they opened as 2 or 3 point favorites)? Sounds like a trap to me. LSU SHOULD win but if I was a gambling man I wouldn't pick them to cover, that's for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sec101row23 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Everything points to LSU. Their current level of play, playing at home, Heisman Trophy winner etc. If Clemson wins tonight it will be their 30 straight win and second consecutive National title. It’s damn near impossible to do that these days. This run has been great, certainly doesn’t get old playing in these games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradis Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I said elsewhere -- I know what we have in Lawrence, Higgins, Etienne & Co... Want to see these LSU skill players have to fight back after taking one on the chin and going down 10-14 points. I wanna see Jefferson, E.-Helaire and Burrow stress tested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSU was knocking off Top 10 teams almost weekly when Clemson was playing a cupcake ACC schedule. Now can Clemson win.....of course the can, look no further than them beating a Bama team last year that I thought was unbeatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it did, the SEC team would win every year. Again, the “gauntlet” doesn’t determine the winner. Clemson has won two of last 3 National Championships, if the “gauntlet” was a thing they would have zero. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bring up the schedule because I think LSU is the more deserving team given what teams they had to face this year to get to this point. You know I have no rooting loyalty to either team in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
