Im a Bama fan but i dont like our odds. We have been really sloppy with penalties and inconsistent offensively. Nussmeier has the ability to pick apart a defense if he has time. Our only prayer is the run game, besides Jalen Milroe. Death Valley is a hard place to win on the road. Im screaming Roll Tide til i die but the x factors are our run game and Nuss for LSU.
You completely ignored LSU's performance against Taylen Green and Arkansas. Also, you have to look at the context of Marcel Reed coming into the game unexpectedly in the middle of the 3rd quarter. Now LSU and Blake Baker have 2 weeks to prepare and they won't be caught off guard. Tigers by 3 LSU 27 Bama 24
LSU has way too many weapons in the passing game. Alabama can't cover, particularly the deep ball. LSU has the advantage in the air at every level. Alabama doesn't have a consistent pass rush, LSU great pass protection. LSU by a mile
Another take is that penalties hurt Alabama. Too much noise triggering offsides. Getting into obvious passing situations. Either team can win this game but I think Alabama has a chance to lose the game due to penalties and turnovers.
Will Alabama get a win in Death Valley?
Regardless of the outcome, fans of the losing team will be disgruntled.
My Tigers can't stop the run, and they can't run the ball. And mobile quarterbacks are there kryptonite.
Alabama (-2.5) 34 LSU 23

Maybe the new DC won't let him run all over LSU without putting a spy on him unlike the last guy.
Severely underestimating LSU
Joel klatt always does
Solid prediction, Joel

I think if LSU can score more points than Bama, then LSU will win.
That math is just not mathing
This will age well.
