I’m not necessarily betting on either side, Mr. Bates, just staying I find it hard to believe someone is 100% off of a surgery in just a couple of weeks. He wasn’t last year in the SEC champ game and when Clemson took them to the woodshed, Bama fans said he wasn’t 100% at that time either, with the same ankle injury, so which is it?
That was his throwing foot last season, this is his other foot, the injury was not as severe, and he recovered in a weeks time. He has looked like his old self in practice. He will be fine.

LSU's lack of redzone efficiency in the last couple of games has me worried a bit, but 500 yards of offense is still juggernaut even if the scores reflect lower averages than their non-sec schedule.
LSU has to score 30 in my opinion to win this one, I think Bama gets after them offensively in the first half. Aranda is a great second half coach and makes a lot of needed adjustments, if Bama doesn't come out with another game plan in the second half, I think LSU can win outright. What gives me pause in this is Tua's injury, with him being limited by mobility, I don't think Saban will alter the game plan much as the game progresses, unless of course Tua is feeling better.
Not sure what the practice sessions have been like, but good chance Tua will be at least a bit rusty out of the gate, I am sure he will get back into game shape by the second half, but a few stalled drives could give LSU enough motivation to get the early lead. I think playing the Auburn defensive front last game is a great prep for this Bama front, which is not quite ferocious as previous years. I think LSU can throw on the Bama Linebackers, and the matchups will challenge the DB's more than any other team they've faced to this point.
Bottom line, Bama hasn't been tested to this level of offensive ability, and though LSU has struggled a bit down the stretch in redzone efficiency, I think they will have opportunities to move the ball against this defense. Still hard to side against Bama, with their offensive production, but I think it will be the best LSU effort we've seen since 2011. I'd take LSU and the points, but Bama for the outright win here.

Been watching him in practice and he is moving around fine,black sleeve on his ankle and moving around fine, leading passing drills.

I find this hard to believe. He may look 100% bc he has the “no contact” jersey on, but how’s he going to look the first time he gets tripped/sacked at the ankles? [/QuoteGo ahead and make your wager based on your opinion that you think he is not 100% and see how that works out for you
No need to be a complete d!ck about it. He is sating his opinion and that's what it's for
So, since it is such a sure thing in your mind. Can I put $5k on Bama and have you back it up if it loses????
Histrionic personality disorder. It's sad

I was merely implying that he should look great in practice not having to scramble, cut, or get touched. He didn’t hurt his throwing shoulder so he should look 100%, however, how’s he going to look when he actually has to use that ankle in the real game.

Even though Bama's defense is nowhere near the level we're used to seeing.. They play the exact style of game that gives LSU trouble, they are gonna push those nickels up and play man bump and cover 0 a lot more than any team Burrow has faced.. Even with LSU's vast improvement this year on that side of the ball, it's like everyone just deliberately forgets what happened last year with the same personnels off a bye, or hell the last 10 at this point..
LSU secretly relies on the run game on that zone read getting yardage on teams, but this is the only team they cannot do that against which is Bama's forever strength to stop first then force you to spread it around.. Bama has problems against QB's that can run, Burrow does it sometimes, but he ain't running on this style of defense. Bama is gonna completely out coach and out class them again in the end, it will be closer than it usually has been.. But absolutely, no question in my mind Alabama wins this game at home and will get theirs on this LSU D before the reciprocate happens.
My thoughts exactly. If LSU had a dual threat QB like Deshaun Watson it would be dangerous for Bama but as good as Joe Burrow is, he's not a true dual threat QB. Bama has the better defense in this matchup and they have the home crowd. I still would love to hear from some LSU backers who can maybe convince me that the Tigers are the play. I just don't see it. Bama wins and covers.
