Reasons why Bama is 7 point favorite, why are they? Gold Sheet 27-16

I know there are reasons and also understand the line is for betting, but what are the 2-3 main reasons this is not 2-3 and is 7?
Our offense and inability to score on bama?
Last year they beat us 38-17, a lot of same players?
Gold sheet...
*Alabama 27 - LSU 16—With Bama (4th in AP poll) fighting for the final four,
willing to lay short price with better-balanced Tide (19 rush, 18 pass TDs), which
is14-2 SU as a visitor since 2011. LSU’s predominant power ground assault—
which mustered a mere 43 YR vs. Bama LY—has trouble reaching century mark
vs. Tide’s rock-solid front 7, yielding a paltry 78 ypg rushing & 2.7 ypc (2nd
nationally). Bama owns the superior pass-catch combo with accurate sr. QB
Blake Sims (66%, 15 TDP, 3 ints.) & big-play WR Amari Cooper (71 grabs, 9
TDs), while slashing RB T.J. Yeldon (618 YR) primed for encore performance
after 133 YR & 2 TDs in LY’s meeting. Nick Saban beats his former employer for
the 5th time in last 7 meetings.

They match-up better defensively than one miss did.

Cooper has 71 catches?? Holy crap

Well they throw a bubble screen to him every other play.

You forgot two very important things.
It's Saturday night in Deaf Valley and Les Miles is our coach.
LSU wins 20-17

They didn't mention that Bama has a shite secondary.........nothing in comparison to Ole Miss and everybody knows Saban's kyrptonite on D has always been the RB out the backfield.

They aren't awful, and they're actually really good in run support. What's LSU going to do, air it out 30 times?

Something like 80 percent of his receptions take place within 10 yards of the LOS. YAC are where he earns his scholly most of the time. That's where the Tigers must excel in this game, for all of the 'Bama playmakers. Tackle on first contact the way they did most of the last two games.

If lsu came out 4 wide with LF7 I would scream like a huge woman in happiness

They are gonna bait them into Run Support and continue to get 17 Yards per completion on corners that aren't that great in 1 on 1 or over the top coverage.

Wrong. The bama secondary is garbage. Bama almost lost to arky. The Vols ran it on them too. Bama will lose this saturday and the gumps will go into meltdown mode.

but don't forget our offense stinks

Not sure what the Alabama secondary has to do with the Arkansas game? Arkansas averages 248 yards rushing per game and rushed for 89. The Alabama defense gave up 13 points. Then you say the Vols ran it on them "too." Who else did? And Josh Dobbs, the 3rd string QB Saban admittedly hadn't prepared for, came in and ran it some. It's not like UT lined up and pounded it like LSU will try to.

bama is a 7pt favorite b.c people like to bet on bama. its no knock on LSU.

Did you forget about our running game? Or is that not a part of an offense anymore? 
We have lots of weapons. The qb is really inconsistent though

Yeah, running for 270 yards right down the throat of one of the best defenses in the country really stinks. Dumbass.

Passing the ball is how LSU came back against Wisconsin and almost against State.
Bama's secondary is suspect.
Posted on 11/6/14 at 4:22 pm to PurpleAndGold86
ole miss has an undersized front, bama doesn't, it's going to be tougher to run on them. If you think we're just going to get to stick in an i-form all game and run you're mistaken
the light is going to have to turn on for jennings for us to have a shot
