Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers are certainly going to have revenge on their mind. Since the start of the season the goal for this Tigers team has been a chance to get back to battle the Crimson Tide. Clemson started the season with 9 straight wins. The loss was a little surprising, at home to Pittsburgh, but the Panthers wrapped up the season with a bowl game. The Tigers are led by their quarterback DeShaun Watson. The quarterback has more than 4,000 passing yards and 38 touchdowns. The Tigers Wayne Gallman has more than 1,000 yards on the ground with 16 touchdowns.
The Crimson Tide of Alabama are looking to grab their head coach Nick Saban yet another national title. His offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin will not call the plays in this game, and leave that duty to Steve Sarkisian. Alabama is led by quarterback Jalen Hurts. The quarterback has more than 2,600 yards via the pass game, and 22 touchdowns. Damien Harris finished with more than 1,000 yards on the ground, and ArDarius Stewart was the top receiver all season. The Crimson Tide’s most impressive feat has been their defense. In 9 games this season, the Crimson Tide have allowed 10 points or less.
When betting against the spread in this game, it’s hard to not take the points. Both of these teams are really good. It’s a little scary, because Alabama wins games pretty easily. If the Clemson Tigers can take care of the football without turning it over, they will be in great shape to have a chance to win this game. Alabama won’t blow the doors off, unless they get a couple chances via the turnovers. In the end, when we are making a bet Against the Spread – take the Clemson Tigers +6.5 over the Alabama Crimson Tide.
