"In the week’s biggest game (Alabama-LSU), the underdog looks as appealing as ever. The Tigers enter undefeated and with the best player in the country, Leonard Fournette, but in two road games this season, LSU barely pulled out a two-point win over Mississippi State and struggled to put away Syracuse, while Brandon Harris had a combined 228 yards passing on 17-of-30 completions.

Against the always imposing Crimson Tide defense, which has had two weeks to prepare and who need a win to remain in playoff contention, the Heisman front-runner will turn mortal against the nation’s third-ranked run stopping unit, forcing Harris to silence 100,000-plus in Tuscaloosa, Ala. And with roughly 70 percent of the public’s action on the Tigers, it only backs up my belief in ALABAMA (-6?¹/2).

It is too early to toss away the formulas that have worked so well over the years. Because, ultimately, Slim Charles probably was right: “Game’s the same, just got more fierce.”
I think he is right if LSU is mostly relying on LF to win the game like Miss State.

This game is going to answer the question of how much has Brandon Harris actually improved. We're going to need him to make a few clutch decisions to take this one. I think he does it and finally we have a quarterback.

Serious question: I believe the Tigers win big but just how far does Bama drop in the polls with another loss at home? 12th maybe 13th is what it should be but not with the Bama Gumps that decide.

Probably switch places with ND due to SOS and another quality loss, which the committee apparently thinks is better than a win.

Bama will get revenge on Ole Miss

ND (-23) won't cover against UMass...ND won by 35

Checked out recent articles of theirs. Looking solid with their predictions.

Why would you put any credence in what a bunch of idiotic Yankees think?? These douche bags are about as far removed from LSU football as one can get.

Yep, It's funny how they conveniently overlook information in the media. I think it's going to be two good teams battling it out and it could go in any direction close or a blow out for either side. Very unpredictable especially in the weather.

I think Harris will be the difference this year for the Tigers to win it though!!! This game has always come down to turnovers, special teams, timely penalties and QB play. Both have historically held the running game in check enough.

Turnovers = LSU advantage
Special Teams = Draw
Timely Penalties = BIG Bama advantage
QB play = LSU advantage

Whoever gets a big special teams play or the untimely penalty late in the game could capture momentum and run away with it.

This sounds like the opinion of someone who hasn't watched any LSU games this year. He's looking at box scores and trying to come up with his own narrative. GTFO with the LSU is one dimensional angle you hack.

Yankees are stupid. You talk fast. That's nothing special.

It just tells you they know nothing about the progression of BH throughout the year...nor did they take time to look at the penalties in the Syracuse game which kept the score close...the same thing happened at state for that matter...if it were bama they would be talking about the emergence of BH over the last few weeks and that only reason state and Syracuse were close was due to penalties. At the end of the day it doesn't matter...LSU will win comfortably.

Every single "Expert" is quick to mention Bama's 3rd ranked rushing defense, but they conveniently forget to mention LSU's 4th ranked defense in terms of rushing yards allowed on the season and 6th in yards per game. Biased much?

This is the main reason why people are sure bama will win.
They apparently have no idea about Harris's development. He tore up florida who has a better secondary than bama.
