Alabama vs. Louisiana State Early Observations
You can bet the Alabama vs. LSU game online at YouWager.com. Alabama opened as a 14 1/2-point favorite by Vegas oddsmakers over LSU. It's the biggest underdog LSU has been at home since 1997. Alabama has been favored in 115 of its past 116 games. The last time Alabama wasn't favored in a game was 2015 at Georgia. The Crimson Tide were a 1-point underdog against the No. 8 Dawgs and won 38-10.
From the ActionNetwork:
The Tigers have already hit their win total of 7 thanks to victories over Auburn, Miami, Mississippi State and Georgia.
Trouble is, some of the underlying metrics for LSU aren’t pretty. The offense ranks 60th in S&P+, and the Tigers have benefited from about seven points of turnover luck per game. That all contributes to this number staying relatively stagnant.
Oh, and Alabama blowing the doors off everyone. That’s a contributing factor, too.
