The Bayou Bengals are six-point favorites, up one from the opening line, while the over-under for total points scored is 69.5 in the latest LSU vs. Clemson odds.

Why LSU can cover
The model knows LSU does not wilt against top-notch opponents, as it posted six victories over top-10 teams this season. The school has recorded 11 of its 39 wins under Ed Orgeron's guidance against such opponents and defeated top-25 clubs 17 times during the coach's tenure. LSU also has a knack for winning comfortably under Orgeron, with 30 of its victories coming by double-digits.
LSU has gone 25 consecutive quarters without trailing and has not been behind in the fourth this season. The squad last faced a deficit on Oct. 26, when it then-No. 9 Auburn took a 13-10 lead early in the third quarter before LSU scored a pair of rushing touchdowns en route to a 23-20 victory. LSU should feel right at home in the Superdome, where it owns a 14-5 record and has won 10 of its last 11 visits.
Why Clemson can cover
Clemson staged the fifth-largest comeback in school history as it overcame a 16-0 deficit against the Buckeyes to improve to 22-0 versus undefeated teams since the start of the 2015 season. Trevor Lawrence threw a pair of touchdown passes and ran 67 yards for a score to raise his record to 25-0 as the team's starting quarterback. The 6-6 signal-caller has 66 career TD passes, breaking Jameis Winston's ACC record for most by a player through his sophomore campaign.
Lawrence has gone 202 consecutive pass attempts without throwing an interception, breaking his own single-season school record and Tajh Boyd's multi-season program mark (187). He has registered two 300-yard passing performances this campaign and needs one more to tie Charlie Whitehurst (eight) for the third-most in Clemson history. Lawrence is hoping to lead the school to its sixth straight victory over an SEC opponent and 11th in its last 12 such meetings since 2016.
