No. 14 LSU @ No. 8 Alabama (-3) (O/U 60.5)

Evan: Heard today that Nick Saban has not lost to a QB in back-to-back years since he was at Michigan State. Jayden Daniels is not going to the be guy to end that streak, not with that defense behind him. Alabama -3

Justin: LSU has figured some things out since their early season struggles, but I don’t think they can roll over the Tide in Tuscaloosa. Alabama: -3

Andrew: I’m just going to go with simple gut feelings here and very basic logic. LSU has a far superior offense. Bama has a far superior defense. But Bama’s offense is merely mediocre while LSU’s defense is horrific. And I’ve just got a feeling about the Tide, especially at home. Alabama -3

John: A few weeks ago, I thought of this Alabama team as maybe the worst one since 2008. Here we are now, and they’re back to being the favorites to win the SEC West. And they’ll probably run away with this one and end up back in the CFP. I’m tired of it. Alabama -3

Ethan: Alabama seems to be well-rounded and has a stout defense. While LSU has been up and down all throughout the season, Alabama has been a bit steadier. The offense isn’t exactly what it should be, but the Crimson Tide should be able to come out on top of this one. Alabama -3

Ryan: Alabama being at home will be the deciding factor in this one. Alabama will find ways to slow down LSU’s offense and we all know about LSU’s defensive struggles. Alabama -3
