SportsLine’s Thomas Casale backs under in LSU–Clemson Week 1 clash
The SportsLine analyst has recommended fewer than 50.5 total points in Saturday’s LSU–Clemson game, while other Week 1 selections remain undisclosed.
SportsLine’s Thomas Casale has released his 2026 college football Week 1 betting recommendations, including an under 50.5-points wager on LSU versus Clemson.
The game is scheduled for Saturday at 7.30 p.m. ET in Baton Rouge, with LSU listed as a 10-point favourite. Casale told SportsLine he expected a slower-paced, lower-scoring contest as both teams adjust to significant changes on offence.
CBS Sports reported that Casale has additional Week 1 selections, including backing a team after a difficult Week 0 performance, but the supplied article does not disclose those picks in full.
Other listed lines include Notre Dame at -20.5 against Wisconsin, Washington at -23.5 against Washington State, Ole Miss at -6.5 against Louisville and SMU at -3 at Florida State.
The article says a parlay of Casale’s recommendations could return about +600. That figure is an approximate potential payout, not a guaranteed result, and betting odds may change.
