Everyone on here always talks smack but I'm really excited about this game.

I love how LSU has opened the offense. This game has gone from a win with Miles to scary under Coach O.

I think that the extra downfield passing could expose LSU's QB but if he doesn't throw INTs, then LF is going to have so much more running room that LSU can win. The defenses are both amazing.

The Bama front 7 is so good but if you can run at them, then you neutralize the pass rush.

Vegas always counts homefield as 3 points but LSU at night is at least worth 7 points because it truly is the rowdiest place in the country. The fans only leave early when they don't get greatness. That's reasonable because the fans always always give greatness because that stadium is so insanely loud.

I'm going to predict that Bama wins by 3 to 7 because Danny Etling hasn't seen pressure like this. That being said nobody beats LSU at home by more than that so if nothing else our offense will struggle with the noise.

This is an exciting game. I do hope we win but if we lose I truly hope LSU is able to make the playoff. I believe we're better but if you prove otherwise, then the country deserves to see LSU with a real offense.

Good luck guys. I'll go 27-24 Alabama but I honestly hope nobody leaves the game with huge injuries because these boys are going to hit. If we do win it is because Hurts limits the turnovers and LSU's OL holds strong. Great week regardless!

Realistic?

We win easily because we are are far better team with a far better coach.

We stomp the team with a coach that has a ~5-22 record in the SEC

Coach O has never played with talent like this. The guy is a good coach and a great motivator. I've never driven fast because i don't own a Ferrari. He has a Ferrari now.

I can coach and he can motivate. I think Bama has advantages but a freshman QB in the loudest stadium isn't one of them.

Anyone who thinks this isn't going to be a good game is nuts.

I'm thinking we blow the tide out of the water. Leonard Fournette will be running like a mad man. He is a real silverback. We will do it for Mike the Tiger. Geaux tigers

LSU has beaten Ole Miss, MSU and Mizzou.


They've lost to every team they've played that had a pulse.




31-17 Bama

I doubt that because it never happens against us but if the downfield passing opens at least 100 yards, then that's all you need. I think LF has a pretty good game. I think I becomes one of those games where less turnovers wins.

They have 2 losses to top 15 teams. One finish was insane. I think they've proven that they can play with top 15 teams with conservative coaching. Neither of those games was at home. I've seen nothing that says LSU is going to get shut down at home.

I wish we had more posters like you. But I think you're pretty spot on. I know Alabama always has better recruiting classes, but not by much. I think this year, the starters are more talented as a whole for LSU, but Bama is better coached. Home field advantage is huge for LSU, but not enough to overcome the disparity between LSU O-line and Bama D-line. Because of this, Alabama wins by 4.

I think the starters are really close. I really think for Alabama I like the OL and the QB having great wheels. I like our front 7 better but honestly nobody is moving the ball much on either team. These defenses are great.

I'm looking at Hurts on the road vs Etling versus pressure. The loss of Eddie Jackson hurts on defense and special teams.

As a neutral fan I just wouldn't trust Etling enough to bet on them. As a Bama fan I think if he plays well this is gonna be nasty.

Both of these teams are going to be tested. Anyone that thinks otherwise is wearing blinders.

I honestly can't see how LSU can win this game. Bama is better this year than last in my opinion and Saban will have them breathing fire Saturday night. LSU doesn't have a quality win this season and it's hard to believe it will come Saturday. I see Etling running for his life all night as Bama's 5* DL makes short work of LSU's O line.
