The current betting odds have LSU listed as a 3 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. LSU has looked good in their games this season with their 6-2 record overall and their 3-1 conference record which has them near the top of the SEC. Every team in the SEC has a loss this season so they still have a chance to make the CFP, but they really can't afford to lose another game with 2 losses on the season already. They are coming off their first conference loss in their last one, but they are coming out of a bye week now and have had extra time to prepare for this game. They have also looked great in their home games with their 4-0 home record. Meanwhile, Alabama has looked good in their games this season with their 6-2 record overall, but their 3-2 conference record has them lower in the SEC. They have a loss in the conference to Vanderbilt which isn't great and they haven't looked good in their road games this season with their 1-2 road record. They are also coming out of a bye week for this game, but this is not an easy environment to go into and LSU will be looking to bounce back in a big way after that bad loss to Texas A&M 2 weeks ago. Alabama has shown cracks on defense this season and LSU has the offense to put up points at home. They will make this a close game right to the end and they have a chance to pull off the upset win too. The best way to place a bet here is on LSU to cover the spread in this game.
