Sure, LSU in big revenge mode following embarrassing 21-0 whitewash in LY’s BCS title game. But, since Tiger QB Mettenberger (only 1 TD pass over 40 yds; lowly 12th in SEC in pass efficiency) hasn’t provided required aerial component to “stretch” ferocious Bama (leads nation in pass, run, total and scoring defense!), must endorse opportunistic Tide (+17 TO margin), which has won 14 straight by 19 pts. or more. Bama’s unbelievably efficient QB A.J. McCarron (69%, 18 TDs, no ints.) attracts more deserved Heisman talk after facing LSU secondary missing the “Honey Badger.” {The Gold Sheet}
I can't get the Auburn-LSU game {played in Auburn} out of my mind. LSU scores only 12 points in Auburn. But, maybe this proves the "rivalry" aspect of this game. You could use this to say that LSU will make this a game just as Auburn did when LSU rolled into Auburn and Auburn, who at the time was 1-2, played LSU to a 10-12 loss. But, I just cannot go with that this game. Alabama is just in another league just from having outstanding fundamental play and a defense that is playing lights-out ball. I think the difference in defense is in Alabama ranking #1 in scoring defense. Everyone is talking about this being the let-down game for Alabama. Saban, you can bet, is not letting the team even go there.
I agree with holtnt’s analysis. *Alabama 30 - LSU 10

HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE GO AGAINST THIS ALABAMA TEAM??? I hate using all caps but this is a major mismatch. Last year was all Bama, and I don't think much has changed beyond LSU actually getting a little worse. While I think LSU's d comes to play and keep it within striking distance, Saban will pull away from the Hatter safely and securely winning by 2-3 scores no problem. 27-13 Alabama. Best of luck folks. CRIMSON(-8) Roll Damn Tide

bkg1010 i hear you but i think after our D heres all week long how great this bama D is ..i think they come out and shut down this overrated bama O and with the help of our special teams and the hundred thousands screaming fans when bama has the ball.. we will ,,should be able to do some bussiness with our ground and pound running game and bama has not been in a close game all season ..and coming off the bye look for the madhatter to run a few fake punts or fake FG;S and fle flicker or two....i am taking the 10 and a half and putting a little on the moneyline because i don t think you will need the points ...LSU wins this outright 27--23....BOOK IT ...GL
You do got joke UL-LAFAYETTEKID!
I think Bama wins relatively easily against this LSU offense but this post stood out. You think these teams score 50 total? I love your optimism but I'd be floored if that happened.

2 coaches that I hate...1 can actually coach though....LSU will hopefully try to run the ball and take a few shots(something they couldn't get themselves to do in Feb), but, I'm sure they'll turn it over...Alabama won't turn it over...look for a TD and 2 FG's for the Tide, while LSU can't once again do anything offensively...ROLL tide 13-0!!!!

Wow, man I hope you are right, however I just don't think it will happen, not a SU win but stranger things have happened on Saturday night in Death Valley!

This game could have gone OVER 39 points. I was sweating my balls off in the 4th Q, but the stars lined up for me tonight and I was happy as a MUG b/c I took the UNDER 39.5.

bkg1010 if miles would have called a pass play when they had spencer ware in the wild cat late in the game i think they would have won it outright but he was to afraid to take chances late on them 4th and 1 plays... kept running the ball up the middle to much....he should have called a fle flicker or a tim tebow jump pass or something .........let one of them backs throw the ball and see what happens......
