Why is the line so low? LSU has beaten one team ranked in the top 25 on the day of the game....auburn. and we all know how bad they are. In all 3 big road games for bama they blowout Clemson, Georgia and Tennessee. LSU lets two SEC teams hang 50 on them back to back. Bama stronger at just about every position. Cody is back. Bama has no significant injuries. Hatch is banged up. Lee has a tendency to throw TD passes to the wrong team. Bama secondary will play press man and force Lee into mistakes. Bama O-line physical enough to control the ball and the clock. This one is too easy. bama BIG

I usually don't like to go with what everyone else is saying, but on this one I have to. LSU has laid an egg in every big game they've had this year. Alabama seems to rise to the occasion of big games, while sometimes playing down to their competition. That won't be a problem here with Saban's homecoming having the Tide focused. Tiger Stadium is a huge advantage for night games, but is a totally different atmosphere during the day.

All of the reasons have been pointed out above. Tide should roll big. Line is inexplicably low and the only explanation is the Saban-LSU angle but that is more of a media story than what will happen on the field. Seems to be a lot of value in Bama here.

Chad, you surely you don't think this is that simplistic? Now Bama may win, but CFb isn't about what happens on individual Saturdays because anything can happen with 20 year old kids involved. It's about the matchups, not the comparative games. LSU matches up MUCH better against Alabama than they did against the speed of UGA and Fla. (A "bad UGA team"? LOL)
I think this game will be tough for Bama unless Jphn Parker Wilson has a good game throwing. The LSU front 7 is strong, as is Bama's All come down to the QB performance as the runs will be all for tough yards. Tiger Stadium is one of the toughest places to play in the country. Something tells me JPW is due for one of his off days. Since LSU's QB play has been erratic also, I see a small play on LSU because this should be low scoring, and they will play with great passion against Saban on his return to Red Stick. LSU 16 Alabama 13 for one unit. Considering an under as well. GL to all.

I love over bets as well, in fact, rarely play under bets, but I would be afraid of an under on this game. Here's why:
1. Both teams like to run the ball which eats up more clock time and both have stout Front 7s which should be successful in limiting success of the running backs. This is the primary reason to worry about an over bet, they are both defensively sound (forget the UF and UGA games against them, neither has that much offensive firepower.)
2. Neither team has a lot of talent at QB. LSU is starting and rotating two inexperienced QBs, and JPW is an average QB at Alabama. On the other hand, LSU's QBs have turned the ball over some which has allowed some points, and JPW is adequate if given time to throw.
3. While it is hard to call Les Miles conservative, he has to rely more on the running game due to lack of playmakers at WR, and the inexprience at QB. Saban would be totally happy with winning 10-9 in this environment and has never been a wide open offensive coach.
Of course, a couple of big turnovers or Special Teams plays can quickly inflate the scoring so an Over is never far away. I just think there are games with more offensive upside than this one, and you may not have to sweat it until deep in the 4th quarter.

not a popular play, but even though bama is more talented and has the better coach....I see LSU playing way way over their heads for 60-minutes and winning this straight up. LSU ml just before kickoff.

The line is so low due to all of the hype about Saban's first trip back to Baton Rouge...its a good story, I am sure there is alot of validity to it. I am sure miles would love nothing more than to stick it up Sabans azz, just like you know Saban wants to rub a little salt on the wounds of all the haters who have been bashing him since he left. You know how it goes...anyone could win on any given day, but more times than not, the better team wins....which means, in this case.....Bama should roll!

The ONLY reason this line is so low is because vegas wants people to actually believe LSU has a chance at winning this game......not to mention that just because most of the public is one-sided on a game does not mean that you have to take the other team. Furthermore, I really dont understand how in the world LSU could cover here. Sure, people say "anything can happen on saturday"...but not this saturday....c'mon people.....BAMA by at least 7..

Wow this seemed like the gift of the week. At first sight Alabama - 3 But then when I looked at the matchup how is Alabama # 1 and ranked 102 in passing offense and who has Alabama really played Georgia. Clemson isnt who the rankings made them appear to be at the start of the year. Then Alabama beat Kentucky 17 - 14. This will be a real test of who Alabama is or isnt. Sure hope they win thats the only chance the Gators have of making the Championship game to beat a undefeated # 1 Alabama in the SEC Championship.

My pick of the year, and that means exactly THAT : I will only feel this strongly about ONE game ONE time per year in NCAAF... and it's Bama -3 tomorrow @ LSU. Bank on it

that kind of logic will get you burned more often than it will make you money... things happen more circuitously than linearly in sports... if anything that chain would encourage me to play LSU...
I wouldn't be THAT surpised to see LSU screw saban back, but i'd rather roll the die on bama to come out firing and take a lead into the halftime as they've been so good at this year.
BAMA 1st half
Nice use of circuitously. BAMA all the way here.

LSU + 3.5. As much as I dislike this team!. But Alabama team is on my Red Code list this week. Bama will probably wins this game by only FG. Decide to take half point instead with home dog.
Good Luck to All

Despite your corrosively annoying-as-fuck sarcasm there is actually a %100 truth factor in your comments.
Did you happen to watch the LSU/Georgia game? Do you realize how bad LSU's QB really is???? Their defense is WAY over-rated and this game is EXACTLY like the Utah / TCU match-up Thursday: Wrong side getting WAY too much credit.
Yes I realize that Utah winning was a 'fluke' and 'rigged' and blah blah blah, but the fact remains: Utah was 9-0, at home, and an underdog. Pray tell WHY THE FUCK anyone would bet against an undefeated team at home GETTING POINTS????
I know TCU "SHOULD" have won, but statistically speaking, it was one of my stronger plays of the YEAR: and guess what, it fucking CASHED, regardless of how ugly.
Putting my entire bank roll on 'Bama: the Tigers are going to get dominated in the SAME fashion Tennessee was dominated at home by 'Bama. BANK ON IT

Boy oh boy. It's early but I'm leaning hard towards LSU. Seeing the words easy and lock with Alabama in the same sentence. Brandon Lang is also throwing one of his biggest plays of the CFB season on Bama today with a 40 dimer. Even though he's having a decent season, I don't expect this play to be as easy as everyone thinks. Will be back with an official play...

Sat morning report from New Orleans increased police protection along possible game bus route rumours of rock throwing crews possible.
Man, I am not a Saban lover but this shit is way overboard.
I am a RED TIDE believer though and the boys are coming to play and a few rocks might just piss em off and jack them up for this contest. It may or may not happen but I gotta think either way they will be motivated to Roll. its the Tide for me 5 units

I'm gonna take a look at Alabama 1st half line. 'Bama has been great at getting out early this year. They tend to slow things down and play not to lose in the second half.

Alabama vs. LSU +3.5 (3 units at VIP) - I was ecstatic to get the hook here, and it was even at -110 juice... on the Greek I would've gotten only +3 at -115. In my mind that's a huge difference for such an important game and one that I think will be quite close. The Tigers must play passionately and emotionally today with the return of Saban, and the fans must provide a hostile environment as well. Many people think Bama will trip up in the SEC title game against Florida, but I guess they think LSU will be an easy victory? Haha, I heard LSU hasn't been a dog at home in the past 5 years... not sure if it's true cause I didn't research it. Sports Insights is reporting the public on Bama at around 73-74% with the spread.
