From what I saw,
They almost lost to Tennessee.

Their QB play is questionable

Derek Henry is a one cut a go RB. Not a shfity back.If we play gap responsibilities and stop him before he can pick up steam he will be contained.

DL and LBs are good but the secondary can be exploited. Also our OL matches up well.

The eye test only matters when Alabama loses. We'll take care of them Saturday

I would say mostly because they've had the #1 recruiting class so many times recently.

For the same reason everyone is impressed with LSU's chances of winning the game, SEC and NC. Gonna be a great game!

why wouldn't you be? they are a very good football team. if you're not impressed with bama, then you haven't really seen them play this year. they shite the bed at ole miss but, they've been really solid on every other game. that being said, I do believe that we can win if we play a pretty sound game.

Maybe LSU fans are the ones that don't get it...everyone outside of our fan base sees a damn good team in Bama.

Not really, they were trailing Arkansas until the last minute of the third quarter and trailing Tennessee with three minutes left in the game. LSU may lose, but this Bama team is their weakest since 2010.

This is exactly the game that gave me a little confidence that we would win on 11/7. I watched them struggle, a lot, against Tenn.

man, the team that plays the best, makes the fewest mistakes and gets a break at a critical time is going to win this game.

LSU will win IF we don't have critical coverage break downs, penalties calling back big plays or turnovers. Bama will win if we do. also, LSU will win IF Bama has the turnovers and Harris puts the ball on the money.

Yup. Time to handle business tigers. If I had to guess I'd say most of the country wants us to put them out of playoff contention where they belong. I want this win so bad!

The media has always been scared of Little Nicky. They all think, "He doesn't kiss our arse so he must be great" So they will ignore any deficiencies in his teams and make excuses for them. Think mainstream media and Hillary, and you will understand.

12th best record in the country vs the 21st toughest schedule. Highlights include a 18-pt win over a Wisconsin team whose only other loss is to undefeated Iowa, and a 28-pt win in Athens.

Computer rankings have Alabama anywhere between #3 and an anomalous #11.

I hope this answers your question.

ETA: Alabama is 3-5 against the spread this year (though 3-3 vs P5 against the spread), so there's a bit of evidence suggesting they are slightly overrated.
