"As for the coaches, most of the attention has been on Nick Saban with the revenge factor, but Les Miles and his staff have done the best job on the FBS level this year in terms of keeping their team focused and ready week after week, even though multiple distractions. Another coaching plus for LSU is the fact that Saban and company were clearly out-coached in the first game, especially in overtime. "Having said all that, I think Alabama will win 20-16, powered by a big passing game, Trent Richardson's running and the determination of Saban to make up for their earlier stumble.

"I like LSU for a few reasons: First, I like their playmakers on offense much more so than Alabama's. I think Rueben Randle, Russell Shepard, Odell Beckham and the stable of running backs they have will wear down Bama's defense.

"This time around, however, I'm picking Alabama. It's due to the rematch factor. So many times throughout college football history, we've seen teams that have lost, and in some cases lost badly, come back, and win the rematch. I think that is what will happen this time.
Kevin Carter

"There are two reasons I believe Alabama will win on Monday: One, it's hard to beat the same team twice, especially a team that's as powerful as Bama. When these two juggernauts met in November, it was a pretty good bet that they would see each other again. Bama began plotting revenge the second after Drew Alleman nailed the game-winning field goal in overtime. And did I mention that Nick Saban is pretty good at rematch games?

Nick Saban and Les Miles are smart guys and you can bet they've both added a few things to the play book. But I think, just like the last time, it's going to be close and probably come down to special teams or one big play. And I like Alabama simply because I think it's always hard to beat a team twice, and I think they're not going to have as tough a day on specials teams."

Beating the same team twice is such a myth. People should get over that. The better team wins. Ask the Lions.

This statement disqualifies Tommy Bowden from ever being taken seriously again.
Ever.

I think LSU comes out pissed off tonight from a month of blatant disrespect.

Ypu are right!!! You are talking about a month of prepration for for both teams. LSU can improve tremendously offensively. I hope to see Lee in this game. I don't think Alabama can improve their kickers kicking in a month - just like a quarterback's throwing motion.

"LSU has also shown some vulnerability recently to well-scouted passing schemes. That was obviously against Arkansas and in the SEC title game against Georgia. These are schemes that Alabama has the ability to execute."
Arky
Tyler Wilson 14-22 for 207 1TD/1INT
SEC Championship
Aaron Murray 16-40 for 163 1TD/2INT
Did I miss something?

None of these guys should be taken serious! I wonder if some of these "experts" even watch college football sometimes.

I like it most all of the experts picked against LSU on Nov. 5th and we know how that turned out

The whole "its harder beating the same team twice", is not logical... If team A is better than team B that day...... team A wins.. Its not splitting atoms, its pretty simple. Also, all the talk about how Bama beat themselves doesnt add up. If you change one thing in the previous game, it changes everything. If Bama makes a field goal, if Bama makes a TD, you never know how it effects every play after that.... if Bama would have made fewer mistakes, LSU might have capitalized on some of ours... its like chasing the wind..
