LSU Tigers Game Notes
LSU improved to 6-2 on year after their 62-0 win against Army in week 8 before they had the week off last Saturday. Jayden Daniels continued his strong season in limited action. Daniels completed 11/15 attempts for 279 yards and 4 TD’s. Although, it was against an inferior opponent it was still nice for LSU fans to see the defense shutout Army, as the defense side of the ball has had their issues this season.
Alabama Crimson Tide Game Notes
Alabama rallied in the second half to defeat Tennessee by a score of 34-20 in week 8, before also having their bye week last Saturday. Jase McClellan had a big afternoon versus the Vols carrying the ball 27 times for 115 yards and finding the endzone once. The defense was massive for Tide in the comeback win they held Tennessee scoreless in the second half and added a defense touchdown on a strip sack.

LSU vs. Alabama BETTING PREDICTION
Both teams enter this rivalry game playing good football over the last month, LSU has won three straight, while Bama has won six in a row after losing to Texas in week two.
This year’s matchup is going to be a clash in styles, LSU has been a juggernaut on offense this season averaging 47.4 ppg, while the Alabama defense has been great allowing just 16.5 ppg.
Alabama is the play here, the strong Bama defense will be able to contain LSU’s explosive offense, and while the LSU defense has looked better during their winning streak, I think they struggle to stop the Alabama run game. LSU ranks near the bottom of the SEC, allowing 157 rushing yards per game to their opponent. This should be a close game, but with the home crowd behind them and the heavy dose of running the ball, Bama pulls away late to grab a comfortable win.
