LSU vs Alabama Prediction
The current betting odds have Alabama listed as a 10 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Alabama has looked really good in their games this season with their 7-1 record overall and their 5-0 conference record which has them right near the top of the SEC. They have looked great on their home field too with their 4-0 home record this season. Meanwhile, LSU has looked good in their games this season with their 5-3 record overall, but their 2-3 conference record has them lower in the SEC. They haven't been a great road team this year either with their 1-2 road record. They are off a 49-25 loss at home to Texas A&M in their last one which led to the team firing Brian Kelly and now they are coming out of their bye week with some new hope, but they still haven't shown much on offense this season. The defense has looked great at times, but they have struggled against better offenses, and their own offense hasn't been able to compete in their games against better opponents. LSU can't really turn this season around either and this might be the toughest game they play all season too. Alabama's only loss this year was on the road against Florida State, but that loss was in their season opener and they have looked like a completely different team lately. This isn't the same team that lost to Florida State as they look like one of the best teams in the SEC now, and they are also coming out of their bye week so they will be ready to take down LSU at home. The best way to place a bet here is on Alabama to cover the spread in this game.
