The Alabama vs LSU Game Preview!
It's College Football Saturday and we've got a ton of games lined up! This weekend is gonna be a big one for us at The Outlet Sports Ventures because the team will be putting in extra hours but can catch up on sleep in April! It's bag season and today we've got a massive game with Alabama taking on LSU in a Week 11 College Football showdown on Saturday, November 9th, at Tiger Stadium. So, let's dive into our pick for the Alabama Crimson Tide vs LSU Tigers match-up.
This is a Must Win for Alabama!
Alabama already has two losses this season, and if they were to lose this game, it probably means that they won’t make the college football playoff. In the last game against the Missouri Tigers, Alabama scored 34 points and that was enough for the 34 point victory. Jalen Milroe completed 16 of his 26 passes for 215 yards. Running back Justice Haynes finished with eight carries for 79 yards and a touchdown. Two games ago against Tennessee, they ended up losing 24-17, and this was a big bounce back for them.
So, Alabama is scoring an average of 37.6 points per game this season, but their defense is allowing 18.6 points. The offense is doing pretty well, ranked 16th, but the defense is at 19th place. And hey, Jalen Milroe has thrown for 1,937 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions so far this season! They know they need this win or playoffs might not happen for them this season!
Can LSU Really Bounce Back?
LSU sits with a 6-2 record overall but they are coming off a loss in the last game. LSU scored 23 points while thie defense gave up 38 points against Texas A&M and that was the difference. Garrett Nussmeier completed 25 of his 50 passes for 405 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions.
So, turnovers were a bit of a problem and we really need to sort that out fast. LSU has been scoring around 32.3 points per game this season, but their defense is allowing 22.8 points on average. The offense is doing okay, ranked 34th, but the defense is at 54th place. Nussmeier is back as the quarterback for LSU and he's expected to help reduce the turnovers. If we keep giving the ball away, it's gonna be a tough game ahead.
The Alabama vs LSU Game Prediction!
THE PICK: LSU Tigers ML
So, at home this season LSU is killing it with a 4-0 record, while Alabama is struggling at 1-2 straight up on the road. Nussmeier is expected to cut down on the turnovers, and that's going to make a big impact. The LSU Tigers defense has been a bit up and down, but they'll figure out a way to slow down Milroe, which will be key in keeping the game tight. I have a feeling LSU will take the win without needing any points. So, we bet on LSU to win straight up!
