Alabama vs LSU Pick

This should be a back-and-forth affair as both teams look to strengthen their position in the SEC standings. LSU has the home-field advantage and an explosive offense capable of creating problems for Alabama throughout the game. Sam Leavitt has been productive through the air and on the ground, giving the Tigers multiple ways to move the football. However, Alabama has enough weapons and talent on both sides of the ball to remain competitive for all four quarters. Keelon Russell should find opportunities against the LSU defense, while Alabama's ability to create turnovers could help keep the Crimson Tide within striking distance. Look for LSU to make enough plays down the stretch to extend its winning streak with a home victory, but Alabama should keep things close enough to cover the near-touchdown spread.
