Tua feels so good on knee that he's offering knee brace to others. CBS Sports VideosOctober 29, 2018, 2:49 PM EDT Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa says his knee is back to 100 percent.Alabama/LSU since Saban has been coach at Alabama. While at LSU, he was 4-1 against the Tide. Saban's record in the series is 13-4. 2017: Ala -14; Won 24-10 2016: Ala -7; Won 10-0 2015: Ala -7.5; Won 30-16 2014: Ala -6.5; Won 20-13 2013: Ala -14; Won 38-17 2012: Ala -7; Won 21-17 2011: Ala -5.5; Lost 6-9 2010: Ala -6.5; Lost 21-24 2009: Ala -7; Won 27-15 2008: Ala -3; Won 27-21 2007: LSU -7; Lost 21-27 Sidenote: Since the 2007 loss, Alabama's average margin of victory in Baton Rouge is 5.4 points.LSU has played 8 teams. 6 of those teams rank in the top 35 scoring defense. Alabama has played 1 team in the top 35 scoring defense. This might be one of the most important KEY STATs of the game...3rd Down Conversions Alabama- 1st LSU- 88thBoth Alabama and LSU have covered five of eight games this season.Interestingly, for what has been described by most as Alabama being a "public play" (square play), 53% of the wagers are on LSU vs 43% on Alabama...In my opinion, Tua plays almost the entire game and Alabama wins 57-17.  Saban knows this is his statement game of the season and will want to make that statement in Death Valley, at night.

I am confused. All your stats point to taking LSU yet you say Alabama will blow LSU out 51-17. Alabama has played one decent team all year and that is A&M. LSU has played and very tough schedule and is 7-1. ALL that info you took time to write doesn't back your pick so my question is why did you bother to research and post it. GL.
