This game won't be close. Book it. I have been on a shitty roll the last two weeks, but there is one team in the game that doesn't matchup well with the other. One team(unlike Ole Miss was able to do) will be able to stop the running game.
Just like I said with the Ole Miss/LSU game, how is LSU going to score? They barely did that against Ole Miss, and Bama is better prepared to stop LSUs physicality than Ole Miss was.

player for player Tide is better and more experienced but anyone laying a TD with Blake Sims on the road was likely laying points with State Penn as well. Love to think that Sims gets it together on the road after bye week (same situation he had at Ole Miss) but we have to shuffle the Oline up a bit as our incredible left tackle is out. I don't remember Lesticles' home record in night games but it doesn't suck...something like 50-4?
also rested conference home dogs off a win avenging a loss LY make mighty nice bets....
would be surprised if it goes to 7

after UGA loss there is nightmare potential for sec....
LSU beats Bama
Bama and Ole Miss beat Miss State
Bama or Georgia beat Auburn
... if you have Missouri winning the east to play a 2-loss sec west team you can find the conference shut out from the playoffs even if the West team wins the SEC title.
fsu, oregon, tcu, mich state in that scenario?

Once again, like you did in the Ole Miss/LSU game, you're discounting the LSU defense. LSU will take away Cooper and Alabama's passing game. At that point it becomes a war of the trenches and an exhibition in rushing the football for BOTH teams. Alabama could cover the TD, but wagering on that is just not the smart play here. IF you wager on this game, you clearly have to take LSU plus the points at home. If you can't see the validity in that, or just don't want to, then my advice is to find a better game to wager on.
Here's the thing, buddy. I don't care what you see versus I do. I will put my posted two year record against yours. I will certainly put my bowl history against yours.
I completely stand by what I said regarding the Ole Miss/LSU game. Ole Miss is better. On a neutral field, they would be favored.
As for the LSU/Bama game, yes, I am discounting a good, but not great LSU defense. Alabama will run the football on LSU. LSU will absolutely not contain Cooper, and no one else has either. The difference here is LSU will simply not be able to run the football in this game, and they can't throw on anyone. They will turn it over 2-3 times, and Alabama will pull away late. I think this is a 23-10 type game.
Again, you don't have to agree with my position on this game. By all means, take LSU. But you have yet to side with any other team in a game LSU is involved in, so it's really hard to take your opinion on this serious.
I actually said the samething Saturday night after Auburn Win, but the difference is i think TCU & Mich St lose again. I would not be surprised to see the Buckeyes gaining steam. I know this want be a popular statement but a 2 loss SEC West Champion deserves to be in playoffs. People can cry foul all the want to but when you consider the schedule among the West teams alone is brutal.
And where would you get that idea? I had Auburn as a winner against LSU and I had Mississippi State as well. That fact is you and I have only discussed the LSU/Ole Miss game and you lost that game....a 15 unit game of the year I might add. By the way, have you sided with anyone that has played against Ole Miss this year?
I stand behind my prediction of this game being too close to call....and certainly not one that has an advantage worth wagering.
