CBS Sports College Football analysts Brady Quinn & Danny Kanell previewed Saturday's matchup between LSU and Alabama during this week's "PICKS + BEST BETS" segment.

The Crimson Tide are currently 3.5-point favorites in the game and both Quinn and Kanell expect it to be a very tight game. Per SDS:

“Alabama can get after opposing quarterbacks. I think they’re going to limit a lot of the big plays we’ve been seen from this LSU offense so far. The 1 problem is Alabama’s biggest weakness is they can’t protect Jalen Milroe. They’ve given up the most sacks of any team in the SEC this year,” Quinn said. But LSU can’t really rush the passer either. It’s a bit concerning.”

Quinn is going with LSU in a what he thinks will be a low-scoring affair.

“I think this is going to be a tight game. A lower scoring game,” Quinn said. “I’m going to take the points though and LSU in this case. I also like the under.”

“Alabama’s defense has been great but outside of Quinn Ewers who beat them, I don’t know if they’ve seen a quarterback since him that has been able to exploit some of their weaknesses,” Kanell said. “…I think Jayden Daniels is able to win it if he’s able to knock them off in Tuscaloosa.”

Kanell also expects a close game and is picking LSU.

“This game comes down to a field goal late,” Kanell said. “…I’m going to go ahead and take LSU.”
