LSU vs. Alabama Head-to-Head

This is the 88th game of the First Saturday in November rivalry and Alabama has been in control here. Alabama holds a 55-27-5 all-time record against LSU, but the Tigers picked up a 32-31 home win last season in their most recent matchup.

LSU vs. Alabama Prediction

Alabama has been doing very well as of late. Their defense can limit what Jayden Daniels can do against them and Nick Saban should dominate on the sidelines against his former program.

When looking at the defenses in the last five games, LSU is giving up 28.6 points per game while Alabama is allowing 17.6 points per game in that stretch. All in all, go with the Alabama Crimson Tide to cover the spread here.

Prediction: Alabama Crimson Tide -3.5
