This might not be the only time we see these two play. The offensive talent is there to keep the NFL shelves stocked for years, we might be seeing next year’s Cincinnati and Miami starting quarterbacks, and we might just see the Alabama student section stick around for a full four quarters. We’re also going to see that both teams have a whole boatload of defensive guys who’ll play on Sundays, too. This won’t be the 9-6 battle of 2011, but don’t be stunned when the two defenses rise up and keep this from turning into a track meet. Bama has beaten LSU five of the last six times by double-digits, and hasn’t lost in the series since that 2011 regular-season classic. But this is a much, much different Tiger team than anything Nick Saban’s program has had to face. Both offenses will have their moments, and the loser will look strong enough to be a lock in the “four best team” argument the College Football Playoff types are going to have over the next month, but … No matter who’s at quarterback, the Alabama offense will be a bit more balanced, it’ll control the clock just enough at times to matter, and the team will be a +1 in turnover margin. Being at home will make a wee bit of a difference, too. Demand a classic.

bump for morning crew.

Pretty fair analysis by CFN. They feel like Bama will be a little more balanced in the end thus resulting in a Bama victory.

Bama is better equipped to settle in and go on long drives to take control of the game and keep Mr. Burrow on the sidelines.
nothing this season suggests this is true. In fact, reality suggests precisely the opposite

quote:

LSU’s Clyde Edwards-Helaire might have rumbled for 136 yards on the amazing Auburn D, and he ripped off 134 yards on the great Gator defensive front, but the Tiger offense doesn’t control the clock quite like Bama can.
my point exactly. That statement is an oxymoron

look at tua's completion % beyond 5 yards and burrow's to know why bama probably won't be as balanced as lsu

It's like they aren't paying attention

You’re forgetting about the “Bama Factor”

Add that into everything in the OP and Alabama wins by 2+ TD’s.

I read alabana is giving up 130 yards a game rushing. That has to be the most rushing yards given up by a recent alabana team that I can remember.

If this is the final score, gonna be hard to imagine both teams not making the playoff if they win out.

I see CFN really went out on a limb by predicting the six point home favorite to win the game by exactly 6 points. Would read again

I don't see it. I think both offenses will be somewhat effective both passing and running at times. The winner of the game will be the team that doesn't turn the ball over.

Are they supposed to give their prediction or entertain you by going "out on a limb"?

WOAH WTF!?!?!?

I thought LSU had declared years ago that you can NOT make the playoffs or Championship if you don't win your conference. Now you're changing your mind? How very convenient of you, LSU fans.

That simulation had Burrow under center the majority of the time.

Okay, cool. But we know from recent history that you can make the playoff without winning the conference. I didn't say it should or shouldn't happen. Just that looking at the rankings, loser of this game will be the best one loss team and it is hard to imagine them not being in the top 4 at the end of the season.

I never said entertain me. You did.

Do you think it’s a coincidence their prediction is the exact number of the current spread? Guess what. It isn’t. That’s the point
