Surprisingly, Tide fans are extremely confident over here!

I thought if there was ever a season where Alabama fans might tone it down, it would be this year, but that's not the case. They're talking big and they think their defense is going to shut us down. I tried to tell them that we're not Arkansas or MSU, but some people have to learn the hard way.

I told them that I hope they continue to talk big and that the spread gets even bigger because that's when we play our best! They think we're the same team that got scorched by OM, but this team has hit its stride and is on a mission now!

Can't wait to get the party started! Geaux Tigers!

Their fans are as delusional as any in all of sports!

The defensive back situation at LSU right now is terrifying. They throw the deep ball well and I foresee a lot of blown coverages. I want to believe LSU will win and think it’s very possible but I could see why Bama fans would be confident. LSU offense will have to be nearly flawless, 2 punts/turnovers or less probably.

We have fans who think our defense has magically now become a solid one before we didn't allow Army to score. What's the difference?

There is a large chunk of delusional thinking on both sides. SO what, we're all fans, it's what we sometimes do.

I've had multiple Alabama fans tell me we won't score 20. They seem to be more worried about OSU and Washington losing so they can climb up the CFP standings than the LSU game.

They seem to think this is Les Miles' 2015 offense rolling to town.

This will be a one score game in the high 20's or 30's.

I am more impressed with the performance of the defense the second half of the Mizzou game and the Auburn game than I am the Army game

Not me. I think our guys will get beat some, because they will be playing one of the top receiver groups in the country, but I think they’ll play well.

LSUs weakness is much weaker than their weakness. The strengths, LSU offense Bama defense, aren’t as far apart. I can see why they are confident.

I agree that our defense still has a lot of improving to do, but I think we've improved tremendously considering where we were in the earlier games. Our defense doesn't have to totally shut them down, but if we can slow them down, I don't see them being able to keep up with us scoring.

Why wouldn't they be? Their offense is about to have its best performance of the year.

There was somebody on here the other day trying to tell me that there is no way the LSU wins by less than 14...

You realize our def is horrible right? All they need is a few key stops. They beat ole miss who scored at will on us.

Some of our fans think we are unstoppable even though we have 2 losses and could easily have another or 2

I have a feeling officiating may play a bigger role than we like with our youth at the DB position. That added with the luck that Bama seems to always have and it'll be a tough one. LSU 34 Bama 30

How many championships have they won the last 17 years?

Delusional is thinking our defense is suddenly even average.

All of our friends here are saying the exact opposite. They’re very worried about stopping Jayden.

We will be watching it in a box full of tide fans. Tigahs by 20
