I actually think it will be in the high 20s/30s too for some specific reasons.
Neither defense gives up huge plays. Both offenses are great, but both defenses keep a lid on things. They both have their own issues with things that prevent them from getting off the field, but neither gives up a ton of massive plays.
Alabama is 3rd in the SEC in opposing plays > 30 yards (1.25 a game) and 1st in > 40 yards (1 in 8 games) and > 50 yards (0 in 8 games).
LSU is 5th in the SEC in opposing plays > 30 yards (1.50 a game) and 6th in > 40 yards (0.75 per game), T4th in > 50 yards (0.4 per game)
So - both teams are going to have to drive the field. This isn't going to be an old Big XII shootout where teams have a bunch of 4 play drives and the other team can't tackle.

Any other year I may agree but I’m not sure both teams are better off conceding a bit on the ground and drop more people into coverage.
Auburn and Utah State had that game plan and relative to their talent level both had some success. Against these QBs selling out to stop the run may be a bad idea.

Better o-line? I definitely have to agree. Bama has been great in both the pass blocking and run game for several weeks
