That's what the hype is for the LSU-Alabama match up tomorrow night. Alabama's at home and 4 1/2 point favorites in Vegas. All you experts out there have some stones and pick it and have the guts to select a final score. I'll start:
Alabama 28 LSU 20. Home field, better D, better running game = Bama win.
Originally posted by no1marauderI think the game will be closer than that. Saban prepares well for big games.

Les Miles is a little shakier in the big ones.
Alabama 24 - LSU 21
Originally posted by no1marauderI agree along the same lines, but a little more D than that.

Tide 20-17
Congrats to LSU, but the game was a snoozer. Both teams played tight and Saban made some bonehead moves like leaving a guy with a bad ankle in to try to return a punt that he wound up letting go over his head costing them 30 yards.
There was a big questionable call on an LSU interception at their one yard line; I thought the Alabama receiver landed with the ball still in his hands. But the Crimson Tide had many opportunities after that; maybe 'Bama should find a kicker.

Originally posted by shortcircuitI really can't take credit. The only way I knew to pick LSU was the fact you picked Bama. Really it was a no brainer at that point.
Cincinnati Bengals, Ohio State Buckeyes and now...the demise of the LSU Tigers.
The inverse whodey curse is alive.
Originally posted by SmookiePI'm glad the game went into overtime and was like watching grass grow. Really, I wanted the game to last for another 6 hours until they were begging to be put out of their misery and then both forced to accept a tie 0-0.
The shot of the guy with tears streaming down his face, through all the red make-up at the end was priceless~ 😉
I don't like either team (Gator fan) but IMO Bama missed so many opportunities, it was theirs to lose.
Of course, as with most other things I was denied my wishes and forced to watch one of two teams I also loath come out on top.
I say LSU's victim in the NCG will be Stanford. Hopefully, Stanford does not suffer by putting up much of a fight.
