The LSU Tigers will be hosting the Crimson Tide in Death Valley in what is known as the Saban Bowl in a top 5 matchup. The Tiger's offense will have to find its groove if it hopes to go toe-to-toe with Alabama, who leads the nation in points scored per game. Both of these teams have superb defenses, but with star linebacker Devon White missing the first half of the game due to an iffy targeting call, it will do nothing but hurt their chances of winning this game. Alabama leads the series 9-3 so far since Saban's tenure in Tuscaloosa.
Will LSU's defense be enough to slow down Tua Tagovailoa and his elite receiving corp? Can the offense find its rhythm to keep up with Alabama, who will definitely put points on the board? As of now, the Tigers only have a 20% chance to win this game. Given that this game is being held in Tiger Stadium at night and Alabama's lack of a true test so far this year, I'd say they have a better chance than what is given.
Both teams will be coming off a BYE week and the game will played on November 3rd at 7:00 PM Central Time.
