Prediction
It is fair to say Alabama has faced some adversity this season as they are not used to having multiple losses. That said, they are a short favorite in this game. The problem is that Alabama’s struggles have mainly come in their road games. They lost at Vanderbilt and Tennessee, and now Alabama faces LSU on the road in Death Valley at night.
The Tigers are certainly looking for a bounce-back performance after falling apart a few weeks ago against Texas A&M in a game where they were in control for long stretches. That said, the Tigers still have one of the most talented offenses in the country. Their defense has been rough at times, but given what is at stake and the environment this game will be played, backing LSU to cover will be our best bet.
Final Pick
LSU Tigers +3 (-115)
