CFN: LSU vs Alabama Prediction: Can the New Look Tigers Tame the Tide?

[crimsonaudio]

LSU has the talent to win this and every other game the rest of the season. It needs to block and tackle better - literally - and there has to be more consistency, but it’ll be fascinating to see if the team plays like it has an extra gear.

Alabama might be fourth in the College Football Playoff rankings, but to keep hammering this home - Florida State, Georgia, South Carolina, Missouri. Obviously, the FSU game was a loss, and the other three were way too close to going the other way.

But all of those were on the road, and yeah, Alabama seems to know how to pull tight games out of the fire. LSU will make this a whale of a battle, but it’ll start to burn out early in the fourth quarter.

I’ll take it!

Too close for my comfort. Love to see us hold a two possession plus lead the entire second half.

 

[The Ols]

A little closer than I think though…

And here I was, wanting a five-possession lead in the second half...

You spelled ‘second quarter’ wrong.

I think a lot of these predictions are factoring in the LSU "talent" that everyone knows they have but hasn't been a factor.

Bama usually draws that out of almost every team we face, even the sisters of the poor teams play us better before we eventually blow them out.

I think that's what people are expecting. Bama gets LSU's best shot.

My biggest fear: Nuss turns into Garcia in this game.

I am going to say 28-14 Bama.

Mc and Cube were throwing out the idea of a revamped LSU team. You have the same players and the same play callers, what's the big difference? According to reports. Brian Kelly wasn't too engaged with the team. I think we roll them.

 

[Special K]

I think Bama will win but I expect I fight, especially early on. We'll need to weather the emotional storm early, similar to playing freakin' Auburn basically every year. Get through the initial crap storm in good shape and I think we'll be fine.

 

[BigAlinKnoxville]

My biggest concern is the team looking past them to Oklahoma.

 

[Ledsteplin]

I'll take any win. But looking for something more like 31 - 17 Bama.

 

[Methylred]

I'll take it, but I'm not sure if my heart can.

 

[sanjosecrimson]

some of you guys are talking as if the game is being play in Baton Rouge or something.
Bama at home in a night game is what we all want! this is our final stretch of the regular season and first game in November. its time to roll!!

I'll take it, but I sure would like more breathing room.
