I could see it happen, but only because we've seen crazier things.
But you have to expect they'll win.

If Alabama turns the ball over less, 100%. Only team that can beat Bama now, is Bama, team is playing well on every level but {expletives deleted} kickoff coverage.

70%. The better team doesn't always win.

I'm a little more worried about A&M - we'll have to score alot of points to beat them
Do you have a decent quarterback?
Can he throw?
Can your receivers catch?
You have nothing to worry about.

70% Bama wins.

It's going to be tough game as it always is with them. They have a good defense and a good defense can always give you a chance to win.
It's just hard for me to believe they will beat Alabama. The inability to pass the ball consistently and the penalities I think are glaring weaknesses for LSU. Alabama has proven they are not going to beat themselves and they have proven they are going to make it tough on you to beat them.

I pretty sure Alabama will win. I'm not really convinced that Bama can keep LSU from crossing mid field again though.

LSU has the same chance to win next week that MSU had this week. LSU loses by double digits.

Last year, I had a huge pit in my stomach about the game, which almost always precedes a loss. This year, I don't have the pit. I think Saban is tired of losing to LSU in the regular season. 
Talent wise, Alabama has fewer injuries and is more disciplined, so that should work out well, but LSU always comes out sharp to play Alabama. If both teams play to their potential, Alabama has the edge, IMO.
I think that if Alabama comes out sharp it can take the crowd out of the game, which will be a good thing. That said, usually Alabama plays pretty well on the road.
I'm excited for the game either way. I'm going to the game, and I will cheer loudly!

I feel good, but Bama isn't unbeatable. Got to play a good game.

I take nothing for granted. LSU is a very good football team and they are playing at night in BR. This Aabama team looks to be much more balanced than LSU so I think we should win, but I am at 60-40 right now.
Pretty much this. Les Miles is a great coach and he wil have his players fighting tooth and nail. Its gonna be a butt cheek clincher for both sides.

70% confident
Posted on 10/28/12 at 10:41 am to Hugo Stiglitz
55% confident. It's Baton Rouge and LSU has had a week off.
We have had less injuries thus far. LSU is missing 2 OLs (right?). Fortunately, the injuries we have had is at RB ...missing Fowler is HUGE for this game though. He would have helped stop the pass rush a lot more than Yeldon/Lacy.
If LSU's defense doesn't change field position a time or two. I would say 75% chance Bama wins.
Cooper and McCarron is banged up. However, McCarron played with an injured shoulder (which is what I think happened last night, although they said back injury) all last year. I think it affected him, but he was ready to go in the BCSCG

LSU is more tested and has the advantage. Not only is it home field, but LSU is coming off a bye week and perhaps most importantly, has been wanting to even things out ever since January 9. Last time I saw Bama involved in a grudge game this strong, it ended with Tebow crying on the bench and the "better team" never in the game. So hell yes, I take this game extremely seriously.
The question is simple. Is the gap between Bama and LSU wide enough to overcome those disadvantages (if there is a gap at all?) I believe so, but not strongly enough that I am feeling the swagger. If we had played this well all year but also had knocked off a clear top 5 opponent, I'd be honest and say I fully expected a win. But we haven't been tested, and that's huge. Is it because we're so good that nobody can test us? I'd like to believe that, but I've never seen that play out to be true before.
Alabama by 4 in a game that scares the hell out of us.

I'm fairly confident.
It will NOT be a blowout like some idiotic fans think, but I do believe that LSU's LOLffense against our defense will be a laughable mismatch. We will struggle to score early on with LSU being fired up, but the balance that we have with AJ and our running game will eventually wear LSU's D down and we will leave BR with a 24-17 kind of win.

Hugo, I'm not trying to be an arse, just simply nswering your question.
I said last December Alabama beats LSU 21-0.
I said last week that Bama beats MSU by covering the spread.
The line will open lower than what I think but it should open at 9 and may climb to 13. Alabama easily covers.

I like Alabama's chances a lot, but still neither leaving with an L or W would surprise me much. Looking forward to watching two great teams bring their A games Saturday.

I feel better than last years game @ Tuscaloosa.
