Vegas sportsbook lists LSU as underdog in hypothetical lines vs. Clemson, Ohio State
LSU has beaten Texas, Florida, Alabama and Auburn this year, but the Tigers could still claim that they are being disrespected.
Coach Ed Orgeron’s squad was moved from No. 1 to No. 2 in Tuesday’s College Football Playoff rankings, and now, they’re getting disrespected in Vegas.
As you can see below, hypothetical lines released by Caesars Sportsbook have Clemson as a 4.5-favorite over LSU and Ohio State as a 3.5-point favorite over the Tigers:
Hypothetical line on neutral field
Clemson (-4.5) vs LSU
Ohio State (-3.5) vs LSU
Clemson (-1.5) vs Ohio State
(Via @CaesarsOnline)Vegas favors Clemson over every team in America.

Those are interesting lines, as Clemson hasn’t picked up a single quality win this year. In fairness, though, Clemson is the reigning champion and is playing well, regardless of the weaker competition.
Add it to the bulletin-board material being compiled by LSU ahead of a potential title run.
