Why LSU will win this game putting themselves in the Playoff picture

It's tough to come into Tiger Stadium and escape with a win regardless of what the circumstances are. This weekend's game has massive College Football Playoff implications and Tiger Stadium will be at its peak for the game. The area where LSU can beat Alabama is by attacking Alabama's inexperienced pieces in the secondary as the Tide will start multiple freshmen defensive backs.

The Tide's offense has had some serious issues at both tackle positions which is an area LSU can slow down Jalen Milroe's rushing ability while also helping in speeding up Jalen Milroe's time to throw. Zy Alexander has been incredible this year and Ashton Stamps is developing well and if Alexander can take away Ryan Williams, the Tide's offense will have a ton of trouble trying to score.
