Why LSU can cover
Alabama has had some shaky outings on the road this season, squeaking past Texas in a 20-19 final as a 21-point favorite. The Crimson Tide also lost at Tennessee several weeks ago, so they have not proven that they are worth backing in big road games. They have only covered the spread two times in their last seven games away from home dating back to last season.
LSU has won six of its last seven games, with its lone loss coming against the Vols in early October. The Tigers have exploded offensively in their last two games, scoring a combined 90 points in wins over Florida and Ole Miss. Quarterback Jayden Daniels has run for six touchdowns and passed for five in those two games, and he has already set a school record for rushing touchdowns in a season (9) for a quarterback. Alabama has historically struggled against mobile quarterbacks, making this spread look too large.
Why Alabama can cover
Alabama tends to put together strong performances in big games under head coach Nick Saban. The Crimson Tide have dominated good LSU teams over the past decade, and the Tigers have already been blown out by Tennessee at home this season. Alabama is led by star quarterback Bryce Young, who has thrown for 1,906 yards and 18 touchdowns while rushing for another three scores.
Junior running back Jahmyr Gibbs has turned into one of the top running backs in the country, rushing for 672 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 6.9 yards per carry. LSU has yet to score first in an SEC game, which does not bode well against Alabama. The Tigers are winless in their last five home games against the Crimson Tide and are not prepared to compete on Saturday night.
