re: Alabama opens as a 10.5 Point Favorite

That’s it?

Bama will run 80 plays and we’ll run about 20. This will be a blowout. This offense is historical dog shite and led by an incompetent sissy that puts in zero work. And we just refuse to bench his arse

10.5/11 makes sense based on each teams power rating and recent perception of each. That said, i think lsu covers and keeps it close late. Our defensive strength is the secondary, which matches bama’s offensive strength, their passing game with their receivers. We play pretty solid defense against pocket passers like simpson. He’ll still get his, but id expect bama to score in the 24-27 range. Lsu’s offense is a little more unsure. Based on the shakeup and frank’s comments, id expect lsu to run the ball alot early on to prove a point. Lsu could be in the 17-24 point range. I like the 1st half under since the 54-56 total that was available on fan duel isnt available now

We lost by 14 and 29 points the last two years ! Are we better or worse this year than those teams?

Yall realize South Carolina should have beaten them, right? And that FSU did?

Context for that game I think matters, Bama had played at UGA, then Vandy, then at Mizzou, then TENN and then at SCAR in a 5 game stretch.

SCAR was in the perfect spot to pull an upset, at Home catching Bama after those 4 games vs. all ranked teams.

LSU is on the road and Bama, as LSU, is coming off a bye week. 10.5 seems about right to me.

I'd give LSU 14 points...and they won't cover. This is going to be a traditional smackdown game...30-3 or something ridiculous.

Weird feeling we keep this game pretty close

Weird feeling we don’t as long as Nuss plays.

10.5 points? Give me bama.

You're right, refs cheated them again in Tuscaloosa
