That LSU @ Bama game is really, really tough to call. I’m saying LSU, barely.

I feel the same way. The main thing I predict is that the score will be close – and low.

Games like this often turn on a key turnover or a quirky tipped ball or a special teams play. Certainly there is no indication that either team will be able to run up and down the field.
I give LSU the advantage, if only b/c of a better secondary and the resurgence of the QB position this year (compared to last year). And by “resurgence” I mean “won’t actively lose the game for you.” Plus, the Mad Hatter.
I’m really, \*really \*looking forward to this game.

I’m the only one with Bama? Really? Huh.

LSU’s defense is just too good. I’ve only seen them play once and I have not seen 'Bama at all.

I went with the “when in doubt in a game this well matched, take the big home field advantage and call it a day” approached.
Bama has looked a bit better than LSU in what I’ve seen, but I haven’t seen much.

I’ve seen every LSU game and about half of 'Bama’s. Honestly, if LSU brings its “A” game, I don’t see them losing. No matter what 'Bama does. LSU’s offense is much, much better than last year’s and on defense I swear their third team could start for most D-I programs. If the game is close, I think they’ll be able to outlast 'Bama pounding the ball on offense and still have fresh legs on defense through the 4th quarter.
However, if Lee reverts to Pick-Six and Jefferson to scramble-fumble, 'Bama will be right there to take advantage. And if 'Bama manages to get out to an early 2 touchdown lead (whether by good execution or quirky plays), I’m not sure LSU is built for playing catch-up against an extremely talented team.
