Talk About Locker Room Material.

Bleacher Report Analysts.
I wonder how much these guys get paid?
Matt Hayes (Twitter: @MattHayesCFB)
I don't see how anyone could pick against the Crimson Tide. They're just so efficient on offense and have so many weapons. All the hype is about Tua Tagovailoa, and it makes you forget this team has four legitimate NFL-caliber receivers, four legitimate NFL-caliber running backs and the best offensive line in the SEC. A wild atmosphere in Baton Rouge will help LSU early, but Alabama will figure it out. It won't be pretty in the second half.
David Kenyon (Twitter: @Kenyon19_BR)
Paraphrasing a lovely quote from Purdue coach Jeff Brohm's XFL career, let me answer that question by asking you two questions. One, is this or is this not Alabama? Yes, it is. Two, does Tagovailoa or does he not currently have a pulse? Yes, he does. I'm not picking against that guy during the regular season. Let's play football.
Adam Kramer (Twitter: @KegsnEggs)
I'll take Alabama. I do so confidently, but I will not go into this game feeling that Nick Saban's team is a lock—no matter how unbelievable that two-touchdown point spread in Baton Rouge still feels.
Alabama might cover the number. The week off for Tagovailoa couldn't have come at a better time, considering the way his knee had been bothering him. The offense will be healthy and rested, and it should find plenty of success against LSU, despite the Tigers' fair share of NFL-bound players on defense.
But here's the matchup I'm most curious to see: Joe Burrow versus an Alabama defense that is, by its own ridiculous standards, not as brick wall-ish as it normally is. If Burrow can find success, LSU has a shot. But I still think Tagovailoa will overwhelm.
Kerry Miller (Twitter: @kerrancejames)
I've got mad respect for the job Ed Orgeron has done with this LSU team. I know the Tigers are always near the top of the recruiting rankings and should be great every year, but to lose so much from last season and actually get better is incredible. This is—without a close runner-up—the biggest test Alabama will face until (at least) the SEC Championship Game.
Is that good? Have I said enough nice things about LSU to make the prediction now? OK, cool. Bama wins by three touchdowns. The last time a game in this rivalry was decided by more than three touchdowns, Saban was coaching for LSU. But Alabama's run defense is better than LSU's—especially with LSU linebacker Devin White suspended for the first half of this game—and there's just no chance in hell that Burrow is going to outplay Tagovailoa.
Brad Shepard (Twitter: @Brad_Shepard)
I feel like anybody who takes LSU in this game is just fooling themselves. Alabama is on the greatest run of college football ever, and this may be the best version yet. Take everything Saban is known for (defense, discipline and running game) and add a transcendent quarterback in Tagovailoa—it's unfair. All that to say this: LSU isn't beating Alabama. The Tide are favored by a pair of touchdowns in this game, and they'll cover with ease.
Ian Wharton (Twitter: @NFLFilmStudy)
I have to take Alabama. LSU is by far the Tide's best challenger thus far and is one of the top-ranked teams in the nation for good reason. Alabama's defense is young and has given up more explosive plays than usual for a Saban-coached team. If LSU can be the first team to really pressure Tagovailoa and he proves to be human, the Tigers could win. But that's just not something we've seen thus far.

If you wanna be the best, you have to beat them.
No excuses. Talk doesn’t matter.

this team should not need locker room material for this game. they need to do what the coaching staff is preaching; go out and play YOUR game. there is definitely such a thing as being too emotional to execute well.

Well, might as well not even play the game.
In fact, every team should just forfeit the rest of the season and give Alabama the trophy now.

A quick look at their twitter feeds is all I need.

They’re not all wrong, everyone outside of Louisiana is expecting the tide to roll. On the flip side, everyone in the country wants LSU to play spoiler.

We and the LSU players/coaching staff already have heard enough of the so called experts. Saban has (for the first time) spoken about kicking our asses! But this game will be played on the field, in Tiger Stadium and on Saturday night. We will see!!

Why do our fans get upset when people (non lsu fans) pick the team that looks unbeatable not to lose? Put aside your homerism for a second and you will see all these pics are logical

I don't think that's exactly what Saban did. He was asked a dumbass question by a possible troll on his radio show and he said I hope we kick their arse.
The question was "what are you going to do if you win the coin toss?"

I don't know why we even bother to play the game. Declare them Football Kings. They are obviously invincible. We don't even need to play. Save everyone's time...
SERIOUSLY!!! Yes, we are the underdog. That makes the victory, or even possibility of victory even sweeter!!!

The sh!tty part though is that if Bama loses, they will have an even easier path to the playoff than if they win. Once again theyll get a week of rest by not playing in the SECCG and cruise on in to the playoffs.
