Joe Burrow and the fourth-ranked LSU Tigers will look to pull off the biggest upset of the season when they host Tua Tagovailoa and the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide in a contest that looks like an unabashed thriller just waiting to happen. Can the Tigers pull off the upset or cover the NCAAF Spread as a two-touchdown home underdog or will the unbeaten Tide roll to another emphatic win in what has been a season full of them for the nation’s defending national champs?
Let’s find out right now what’s going to go down when this affair gets underway on Saturday night, live from Tigers Stadium in Baton Rouge.
Then there’s the fact that the Tigers actually have the better statistical defense in this affairs they’ve limited the opposition to just 15.1 points per game this season (seventh). Last but not least, there’s the good old revenge factor. As I previously mentioned, LSU has lost seven straight in this series including a hard-fought 24-10 road loss to the Tide last season.
