Clemson vs. LSU Game Betting Analysis
Under, under, under, under and under. Clemson has hit the Under in six straight season opening games, also hitting the Sept. 30 game against LSU last season with a 17-10 final. Clemson is the main catalyst here, seeing at least one team score 14 points or less in four of its last five games, along with 19 points or less in five straight games. LSU also opened the season in 2025 with at least one team scoring 10 points or less in five of six games, along with 19 points or less in five straight games. Eerie to say the least.
While there is a new sheriff in Baton Rouge, LSU went 4-9 on the O/U last season and when combined with Clemson’s 2025 O/U record we have a 8-17-1 O/U record heavily favoring the Under. The spread might lean towards LSU for those who want to get away from the total market, as LSU has covered the spread in two meetings. Clemson has also failed to cover the spread in seven of eight non-conference games.
