I think it's going to be a close one with turnovers being the key. I believe Bama is just a little better than what my instincts are telling me so I'm not going to go with my instincts. We kick a field goal with 1:10 left in the game to take the lead, Bama gets the ball, and we intercept to win. LSU 27 Bama 24
No way LSU puts 35 points on the number 1 scoring defense in the country (They allow 8 per game). On the other hand LSU has the #6 scoring defense and Bama ain't going to score much either. This game will be decided by the offense. Whoever puts up 21 points is likely to win it and I think LSU's chances are good. LSU's scoring offense is ranked a very average #31 nationally, but Bama's is a very poor #74. Bama has not scored a single offensive touchdown in the last nine quarters of SEC play. They are starting to take key injuries and their shallow depth may cost them in the SEC stretch run. LSU 21 Bama 13
this may end up being a field goal battle, the end score could be 9-6 with no touchdowns. if addai isn't close to 100% the offense will struggle to have balance but jimbo will still be determined to run. lsu's defense will give up a few big plays but lock down and not let bama into the endzone. if jimbo decides to open it up then we could possibly win by double digits, russell seems to be getting over his hand injury and the receivers seem to be 100% across the board.
LSU 28 (one from special teams, the rest by our dominating offense) Bama 10 (their offense only manages a fieldgoal, they get 7 off of a fumble).
