LSU-Alabama: Four things to know ahead of Saturday

As LSU gets set to seek two straight wins over Alabama, the Tigers will enter as a huge underdog and be without Terrace Marshall Jr.

Alabama opens as a -28.5 point favorite

For the fifth time this season, LSU is an underdog. The Crimson Tide open as a four-touchdown favorite over the Tigers for Saturday’s game.

Alabama averages 48.5 points per game and only allows 18.5 per game. Given the seven points LSU scored against Texas A&M last week, it’s going to take a solid outing from the Tigers offense to keep this one close.
