LSU vs Alabama Matchups, Predictions, and Pick
The Tigers are still hanging on to hope of winning the SEC and having a slim shot at the College Football Playoff if they do so. But, to accomplish that they must first go through Alabama..
The TIde have already lost one game at home this year (Week 1 to Texas) and it’s not often they drop more than one in a season at Bryant-Denny. It’s an uphill climb for the Tigers to be certain.
The good news is that this is not one of Nick Saban’s best teams. While still a quality team with a lot of talent, they’ve shown some real weaknesses that can be exploited this year. For starters, their offensive line.
While usually a bright spot, this year’s Tide offensive line is horrific. They are 128th in the nation in sacks allowed, with 35, and only 78th in rushing offense at 147 yards per game. Usually, Bama has those two stats near the best in the nation. They’re also 41st in the nation in pass plays given up over 20 yards. This presents a huge opportunity for Jayden Daniels and the LSU receiver corps.
Unfortunately, LSU’s defense hasn’t exactly been a stone wall this season, so rather than the grunting, pounding defensive battles of years past, we may have a shootout on tap. That being the case, give the edge to LSU and their potent, quick-scoring offense.
