Prediction
All right, here goes. You can probably tell from most of my above comments who I think will win. You know I am a "Bammer," so you are probably just waiting to see the margin I predict. Right?
Well, I do think that while Bama has a ton of pressure on them to perform and live up to the number one ranking, and to protect the image of Nick Saban as he “returns home” this weekend. However, that pressure has been their driving force and what they have thrived off this season. That has been their motivation, and I predict it will be the same this weekend.
Alabama has been stellar on the road this season, outscoring their opponents by an average of 25 points, including the 20-point victory over rival Tennessee just two weeks ago.
Bama has also played better historically in Baton Rouge than they have at home. Factor in how well Bama has played on the road earlier this season, and you are looking at a recipe for victory.
LSU stole one from Bama in 2005, keeping the Tide from going to Atlanta and ending their dreams of having a perfect season. With a shot at going to the ATL on the line again this year, I think this squad has overcome too much and has everything right where they need it to be not to take advantage.
LSU’s victory over Auburn is looking less special right now. The victory over South Carolina looked like a solid win. However, the two losses are hard to overlook, particularly with the way they lost both games, with the Georgia debacle coming after everyone thought they had learned from the initial 50-plus points they had hung on them in the Swamp.
