I'm just looking for a good number that will hit as close as possible. If your looking for a total point prediction, go with something around 31 - no higher than 35.

I can only speculate about some things we may see because I don't know for certain, but I can tell you that Alabama has spent a lot of time in practice working on special teams. As I said, expect a much better performance out of Alabama's special teams this go around.
Will sabans ego allow him to be smart and kick away from number 7 though? Because im telling you if he kicks it to him it's a huge mistake, even if his kicker has to shank 25 yard punts its smarter than kicking to mathieu, hes that good. |

I'm stuck against a girl in our football pool with the winnings coming down to the tiebreaker
First tiebreaker is # of LSU points
(if there is a tie on that, doubtful, we go to total Bama points)
I just called my GF who isn't much of a football girl (  ) and she guessed that LSU would score 30-40 points.  Such is life for females who barely watch football in Big 12 country. |

Alabama's offense won't fare a whole lot better, but they definitely have the better more balanced offensive attack. Look for Alabama to score in the 13-20 point range, and LSU to score in the 3-10 point range. Even though I don't think LSU will score a touchdown in this game, I'll give them credit for one anyhow.
I'll call it 16-10 Alabama.
I like your analysis because I am on the Under.
I hope you're right. |

Should I go higher than 13-19 or lower. 
Guess it's best to go high and root for points. |

Since my buddy who is running the pool mentioned she is in the teens (and wants her to lose); 19 seems like the safest bet. Anything above it and I win. |
