Alabama is a 7.5-point road favorite in Baton Rouge at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The visiting team is 0-3-1 ATS in the last four games between Alabama and LSU.
The Crimson Tide had a pair of tough games lined up heading into the bye week, with a road game at Tennessee and a home game against Texas A&M, but neither team could keep the score close against Nick Saban’s juggernaut team.
Alabama beat Tennessee by 39 and Texas A&M by 19, improving to 8-0 SU and 6-2 ATS on the season in the process. The Crimson Tide have scored at least 33 points in every game and have held their opponents to 14 points or fewer six times this season.
In Alabama’s last 13 games as a favorite of nine points or fewer, the Crimson Tide are 10-3 SU but just 3-9-1 ATS, per the OddsShark College Football Database.
Betting Line / Total: Alabama -7.5 / 45 Points
Trend: The visiting team is 0-3-1 ATS in its last four games in this matchup.
Trend: Alabama is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games on the road.
LSU is 0-2 SU and ATS on the road this season, but at home the Tigers have been serving up the home cooking. The Tigers are 5-0 SU at home with a 3-0 ATS record in their last three home games, including an impressive 38-21 win over the Ole Miss Rebels heading into their bye week.
Leonard Fournette racked up 284 yards and three touchdowns on just 16 carries in the win over Ole Miss, and should be well rested coming into Saturday’s game against Alabama.
Saturday night’s total is set at 45 points. The UNDER is 7-0 in LSU’s last seven games against SEC opponents.
Even with two losses on their schedule, the Tigers still have an outside shot at a playoff spot if they are able to win out and claim the SEC title. A road game against Texas A&M in the final week of the season looms large for the Tigers, but for that game to be relevant to their season, they’ll need to find a way to upset the No. 1 team in the country.
Alabama has won each of its last five games against LSU.
