I am with Stew....didn't this game open as LSU -1??? Wouldn't that mean the linesmakers made LSU the favorite and the betting action on the game made Bama the favorite? \
I respect quite a few people on this site, but sometimes, you have to take a common sense look at things. LSU has beaten some of the best teams in the country this year. Arkansas, Oregon, Alabama, West Virginia. Compare the top 4 teams Alabama has beaten as see if they compare. They do NOT. LSU's offense has gotten BETTER since the last time these teams met. Alabama seems the same to me, which doesn't mean they are bad. Both defenses are top notch. LSU faces a superior rushing attack with Richardson being a beast. They are average in the passing game. No QB legs to scare the LSU defense. Besides, if they could throw more, the LSU secondary may be the best ever. Jefferson adds that element of unknown to the gameplan. Tide has to gameplan for him breaking containment. LSU doesn't throw the ball around too much either, but Jefferson can take off. I say thats the edge. LSU wins the game. GEAUX TIGERS.....
