T.M. Selection: Alabama.

I like Alabama to cover the spread against LSU in this game on Wednesday. Alabama had a great start to the year but they have fallen off the map since then and have had a rough time ever since hitting their conference play. I think they are going to bounce back in this game though and play much better than they have been lately. Alabama has had to play 3 of their previous 4 games, all of them in conference play, on the road and the 1 game at home they had to play Auburn who is 2nd in the country and on a huge win streak at the moment. Alabama really held their own in that game only losing by 4 points on their home floor but I expect them to get the job done here against a weaker opposing team. LSU is still really good but not as good as Auburn is and Alabama almost came up with the win in that game. They have been a really good team on their home court this year winning 7/8 home games played. LSU has been having a great year and they have won 15/17 games this year. Both of their losses came in conference play though and their most recent game was a loss at home to Arkansas who also started to fold once they got into their conference play. Arkansas held LSU to less than 60 points on their own court and that is 2 games in a row now that LSU has scored less than 65 points. I think LSU is going to continue their conference troubles here and lose another game on the road. I think Alabama is going to come out putting up a lot of points looking to get back on track after stumbling lately and I don't think LSU is going to do much on defense to stop Alabama here. I expect a strong performance from them here at home, I like Alabama to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 76-69 Alabama.
