I have bet Alabama first half and the over the entire season with great success. Outside of all the normal football reasons, I think Alabama when the see the blood in the water will pounce all over LSU for one other reason...Clemson. Clemson put 77 on a bad Louisville team to make a statement, it is not a guarantee that if Alabama wins by a point or two that they wouldn't drop to the number #2 ranking. Also, even though they are winning, Saban is NOT happy with his defense right now.
Also, with everyone talking about the first half success Bama has had, I might suggest a sneaky bet that no one has considered tonight. Take Alabama if you can, for the third quarter. LSU is 113th in the nation, averaging only 4 points in the third quarter.
