The No. 3 Clemson Tigers will attempt to reach the College Football Playoff National Championship Game for the second straight season and for the fourth time in five years when they take on the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday in the 2019 PlayStation Fiesta Bowl at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. The Tigers (13-0) blew out Alabama, 44-16, in last year's title game. They also won the title in the 2017 season, beating Ohio State, 31-0, in that season's semifinal.
Clemson is 9-1 against the spread in its last 10 bowl games. Meanwhile the Buckeyes (13-0) are making their third appearance in the playoff. In 2015 they won the inaugural CFP national title. Kickoff is 8 p.m. ET. The Tigers are 2.5-point favorites in the latest Clemson vs. Ohio State odds, while the over-under for total points scored is 62.5. Before making any Ohio State vs. Clemson picks or 2019 Fiesta Bowl predictions, you need to check out the college football predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past four-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $4,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It also went a sizzling 8-2 on all picks against the spread during Championship Week. Anyone who has followed it has seen huge returns.
Now the model has dialed in on College Football Playoff semifinal matchup between Ohio State vs. Clemson. We can tell you it's leaning under, and it also says one side of the spread hits in over 50 percent of simulations. You can head to SportsLine to see the pick. Now, here are the college football odds and trends for Clemson vs. Ohio State:
- Ohio State vs. Clemson spread: Tigers -2.5
- Ohio State vs. Clemson over-under: 62.5 points
- Ohio State vs. Clemson money line: Tigers -130, Buckeyes +108
- CLEM: Tigers lead the nation in scoring defense (10.6 points per game)
- OSU: Buckeyes lead the country in scoring offense (48.7 points per game)
The model knows that the Tigers have one of the best defensive players in the country in linebacker Isaiah Simmons. The track star and former safety leads the defense in tackles (93), sacks (7.0) and tackles for loss (14.0), while also contributing seven pass breakups, two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. For his dominant season, Simmons was named an unanimous All-American, the sixth player to earn such honors in Clemson history.
The model also has taken into account that Travis Etienne is one of the best running backs in the country. The junior from Jennings, La., leads the country in yards per rush (8.24) and ranks eighth in rushing touchdowns (17) and 10th in rushing yards per game (115.4).
But just because the Tigers have some dynamic players does not guarantee they will cover the Clemson vs. Ohio State spread in the College Football Playoff semifinals.
The Buckeyes have the nation's top defensive player in Chase Young. The 6-foot-5, 265-pound pass-rushing freak leads the nation with 16.5 sacks, or 1.5 per game. His 21 tackles for loss rank fourth. For his efforts this season, Young earned the Bednarik Award (top defensive player), the Bronko Nagurski Trophy (top defensive player) and Ted Hendricks Award (top defensive end).
The model also knows that quarterback Justin Fields is having a standout year. The former five-star recruit and Georgia transfer has accounted for 50 touchdowns (40 passing and 10 rushing), the third-most in the country. Earlier this month, he finished third in the voting for the Heisman Trophy behind LSU quarterback Joe Burrow and Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts.
So who wins the Fiesta Bowl 2019 between Clemson and Ohio State? And which side of the spread hits in more than 50 percent of simulations? Visit SportsLine now to see which side of the Clemson vs. Ohio State spread to jump on Saturday, all from the advanced model that is up almost $4,000 on its top-rated college football picks.
