Alabama @ LSU (November 7)

A lot has been made of LSU losing a lot of talent from their 2019 squad.

But Alabama is losing a lot of talent as well. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is off to the NFL. Wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs are gone, too.

The Tide, however, have plenty of talent returning on defense. And that might be enough to beat LSU at home in November.

Ultimately, though, I think this game will come down to which team has the better quarterback play.

It’s hard for me to pick Mac Jones over Myles Brennan.

LSU wins a close one.

Prediction: LSU wins (8-1)
