College Football Championship SU Pick

The Alabama Crimson Tide have just been rolling all season long. The Crimson Tide started their season with a blowout win over USC. Alabama really only had one tough test all season, and that was a game they scored 48 against Ole Miss. The Crimson Tide have allowed just 8.5 points per game in their last 4 games. The Crimson Tide offense continues to find ways to take care of the football, and score points. Jalen Hurts has been the quarterback all season for Alabama. The signal caller has thrown for more than 2,600 yards and 22 touchdowns. Offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin will not be calling the plays in this game for Alabama. The Clemson Tigers are back, and still fired up under the leadership of Dabo Swinney. The Tigers quarterback DeShaun Watson has had yet another fantastic season. The Heisman candidate has thrown 38 touchdowns, with more than 4,100 passing yards. The Tigers are scoring points nearly every time out. Clemson has scored a total of 164 points in their last four games; all wins. Those four wins came after the lone loss of the season. Clemson’s receiver Mike Williams is the top target for the Tigers offense. He has caught 90 passes, for more than 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns. This is going to be a better game than most expect it to be. Do not be surprised if the Clemson Tigers have a chance to win this game late. The Tigers have what it takes to down the Alabama Crimson Tide. Alabama may seem a bit distracted in this game and it may have to do with the offense, and the coordinator leaving the program with one game to go. This is going to be a very competitive game. The straight up bet for the National Championship game is the Alabama Crimson Tide -6.5 over the Clemson Tigers.
