The Crimson Tide are entering the final month of the regular season and the team has some work to do if it wants to keep its national title aspirations alive.
The first step is earning a massive win over LSU in Baton Rouge this weekend. This game will have massive implications as to who will represent the West in the SEC championship game against either Georgia or Tennessee.
Fortunately, Alabama has fared pretty well against the Tigers leading the all-time series 55-26-5. Alabama is currently riding a two-game win streak against LSU
In fact, Alabama has actually played very well in recent years against LSU as the Crimson Tide won 10 of the last 11 matchups and held LSU to an average of 13 points a game during that stretch.
While LSU will have the benefit of a primetime game in Baton Rouge, Alabama enters the match-up as a two-touchdown favorite. We all know how much Nick Saban likes to take on his former employer.
