Clemson/Auburn Under 54.5 2.2% Play

At this point both offenses are far behind their team̢۪s defenses. This should be a defensive game in my opinion and we are getting a bit of an inflated total based on how these two offenses played last week against bad teams. Both defenses return 7 starters on defense from the match up that was a 19-13 final. Auburn had just 262 yards at home in this match up and Clemson has the best defensive line in the nation in my opinion and one of the best defensive coordinators and they are at home in this game.

I also feel like Clemson will play with a chip on their shoulder considering the ranking they got after winning the championship. If I had to lean one way on the side it would be Clemson, but I feel there is far too much value in the under the total. Auburn just 18-7-3 under in their last 28 games and Clemson is Under 16-7 in their last 23 games following a 40+ effort. Don̢۪t forget Clemson lost their starting RB, star WR, and star QB. At this point in the season they will rely on their defense to win games and I expect a more conservative approach.
