LSU has this game and here's why.

The same road team that has shown up for almost two full seasons now will show up again this weekend.

What I've learned over the years, is that when Alabama has problems and a lesser team, like LSU is on the upswing. Go with the team that has the hot hand.

LSU wins this by single digits and they win it the same way Tennessee won, Alabama will give it to them.

LSU fans should be pretty optimistic here.

Saban has two undefeated teams in 14 years at Alabama. There are examples every year of a bama team with problems bludgeoning teams like this to death, so you haven't learned much besides confirmation bias from the losses- The foundation is crumbling every time we lose. Bama Has a Nick Saban problem, yadda yadda

I do tend to agree here, I'm just not sure if LSU can run the ball well enough to pull the upset.

Look, I'm not one that lends a pile of credence to historical data, but some facts are hard to ignore. Alabama absolutely owns LSU in Tiger Stadium. Alabama has a better winning percentage on that piece of property than LSU does. I'm not talking about head-to-head where it's a boatracing, I mean that Alabama wins a higher percentage of games in that stadium on the whole than LSU does on the whole. That's quite the data point. Optimistic is a strong choice of words
