Anyone watch Bama game with Bama fans who are not good friends?

We no longer live in the South and moved to a new neighborhood where don't know a ton of people. Were invited to watch game with a family who is friend of daughter but they are big Bama fans. Wear Bama clothes all the time, house is full of elephants. I think they're actually from there so that makes it a little better.
Anyway, even as "adults" I don't see this a good idea at all. I also suspect they are just inviting us to see our reaction. Either way, this is not a good way to make friends long term. Any other team would be fine.
Wife thinks we'll get caught lying about having plans or simply look rude for not going. Still I don't see this as a good thing. Any experiences with a similar situation?
...update...I’m getting blackout at home with a few friends and we declined invite and went with our instincts. Thanks for input

I have plenty of interaction with gump and ms gump. Here is the total number of decent sports I have encountered:

They are all awful humans. It's hard to believe, but true.

Frick that. I'd end up getting belligerent. Hard pass.

frick 'em. We ridin' this week.
ETA: They are the most smug, spoiled fan base in sports. Some may argue some professional teams are like the Yankees, Cowboys, etc... but no professional fan base matches the intensity that a college fan base brings. I wouldn't do it.

I have received that invitation more than once, and "not fun" would be how I describe it.

DON'T DO IT.
I was in similar situation and you will be miserable and just not a good idea.

Bad winners and worse losers, no win situation buddy. Tell the wife to just decline the invite. Be straight up.

Yeah, that's my thoughts. I've only met these people in passing, wife knows them a little more, but that's in polite society. Either way the game goes I'm getting belligerent and can't see it ending well.

Pass, the first time a nephew or some baw in the natty light throws a shaker in my face the cordial pleasantries would be long gone and it would be awkward as shite.

Similar situation here. I have befriended some gumps in the last couple of years. We decided it’s best to just avoid each other Saturday so we can continue to be friends after this weekend.

they are likely inviting you because they do not imagine a loss
but I can guarantee you that if LSU is winning you will feel bad and feel like you have to tip toe at their place.
I would not put myself in that position ... it'd be different if they were long time friends and I could give / take the abuse -lol

It's perfectly ok to tell someone no. I don't know why people have to have an excuse to decline an invitation.

Why would you have Bama fans as friends?

My gf is a gump; she and I will be watching the game in separate houses.

My brother-in-law is a Bama fan. He's not as big a fan as I am of LSU but he watches all of their games.
He's not the type to talk shite and says LSU is his second favorite team. I still don't take calls or read his texts during LSU games, let alone LSU-Bama games. Damn sure wouldn't watch the game with him.
I don't even like watching LSU games with LSU fans though.

i worked away from home with plenty gumps but we never watched games together and did not discuss it that much at work other than a few jabs here and there. If i were to watch the game with them i'd be in jail. i have no doubts.
