I don't see this line moving anywhere in LSU's direction, unless it's opened too high, meaning 10+

It probably will, at least at some point.

These guys that make up the lines really know what's going on. It's a good thing I don't gamble. I thought Arky +10 to Auburn and Ole Miss +7 to LSU we're sure things.
Now this? As much as I hate to admit it, Bama has played at a completely different level than everyone else. To see a -5 on this game again seems like easy money. What don't we know? I know it's Tiger Stadium at night. I know LF is back. I know Miles is gone.
Just interesting.

Really?
You should let ESPN know because the box score they've got is clearly wrong.
Alabama averaged 3.7 yards per carry rushing. LSU averaged 3.3.
Alabama averaged 4.5 yards per attempt passing, LSU averaged 2.9.
Alabama had 315 yards of total offense. LSU had 259.
You did win the time of possession battle 38 -22, so congrats?
As the box score indicates, it was an evenly played game where both defenses dominated - in other words a typical LSU/Alabama game.

I'm surprised the line is this low. Alabama has kicked LSUs arse pretty good the last few years.
If Alabama were to cover that 5.5 point spread by just a half point and win by 6 in regulation, it would be their most convincing victory in Tiger Stadium in 14 years. The games in Tiger Stadium since Saban has been at Alabama:
2014: Bama 20-13 in overtime
2012: Bama 21-17 on last-minute drive
2010: LSU 24-21
2008: Bama 27-21 in overtime
There are many reasons to think Alabama may win the game by more than a touchdown. Recent relevant history (i.e. in the venue where the game will actually be played) is not one of them.
Also, all of those were against Les Miles offenses. Two of the four (2008 and 2014) were against LSU teams that finished 8-5, tied for the worst record LSU has had in the 2000s. Those two teams (who both took #1 ranked Alabama to overtime in Tiger Stadium) managed to get blown out to the tunes of:
51-21 by Florida (2008)
52-38 by Georgia (2008)
31-13 by Ole Miss (2008)
41-7 by Auburn (2014)
17-0 by Arkansas, which was on a 17-game SEC losing streak entering the game (2014)
Again, there are plenty of reasons why Alabama might win this game handily. But if LSU's worst teams in this millenium, getting blown out left and right by other teams, plodding along with a Les Miles offense, can still take two different #1 ranked Saban-coached Alabama teams to overtime and never lose by more than 4 in regulation since he's been there, then whatever insight history provides, it does not suggest a blowout for Alabama in Tiger Stadium.

No, no you didn't. You were playing equally at best. We dominated total yards.

This will be a long two weeks. We all just melted over the OP's link from 5 years ago.

No clue what the spread will be but i enjoyed the guy who tried to use games in tuscaloosa and neutral site NC game in his average victory argument as if that has anything to do with a game being played in tiger stadium. that was pretty funny.

It's in BR man. The last 4 games in DV have been decided by a total of 20 pts. I'd say that's about right

It's probably already been mentioned but the only games that were blowouts were in Tuscaloosa. In 2012 Alabama needed the Chavis 2:00 defense and in 2014 it took a bonehead questionable penalty and some more Chavis to take it to OT.

Funny going into that game LSU fans said on here how it was a home game for them and we had no chance. But little do they forget about that one.
