Alabama vs LSU Prediction 

LSU comes into this matchup with just a 1-4 record in SEC play and they will be on the road for this game. The Tigers are shooting 46.6% from the field and they are scoring 79.7 points per game this year, but they have scored 65 points or fewer in two of their last three games. Alabama is 5-1 in conference play and they are the highest scoring team in the country. The Crimson Tide don’t play great defense, but they have scored at least 94 points in three of their last four games.
