The Tigers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Crimson Tide are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The over is 45-20 in Tigers last 65 games as an underdog. The under is 5-1 in Crimson Tide last 6 overall. The favorite is 20-5-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings.
This is a rivalry game and usually I want the points in spots like this, but Alabama crushed LSU in the two meetings this season and they're easily the better team on the season. Alabama is winning its last five games by an average fo 13.8 points and wins by an average of 10.8 points in the favorite role. LSU has had issues playing up to its competition this season and is just 5-7 against the spread in the underdog role. I'll lay the chalk with the Tide.
