These are 2 teams headed down different path on a couple of fronts. LSU has lost their last 2 including an embarrassing 49-25 lopsided defeat versus Texas A&M in the previous outing. The players also had to deal with the recent firing of head coach Brian Kelly which brings about a lot of uncertainty and anxious moments from their perspectives. The LSU offense has never quite clicked like many thought they would before the season before. The Bayou Bengals have averaged a mere 18.5 points per game during 7 contests versus FBS team. Even their once stellar defense has worn down as evidenced by them allowing 40.0 points and 412.5 yards per game over the previous 2 contests.

Alabama has won 7 in a row after being upset in their season opener by Florida State. During this current win streak, they beat current nationally ranked teams in Georgia, Missouri, Vanderbilt, and Tennessee.

Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson continues to shine while completing 68% of his pass attempts while thrown for 20 touchdowns against only 1 interception. 

Bet on Alabama as a point-spread favorite of -11.0 or lower for a 5% Best Bet.
