LSU vs Alabama Prediction

I’m on the Tigers here. I get why Alabama would be favored on the road, but LSU has had just as much time to prep for Bama as Bama has LSU, but I’m not sure a bye week can cure the issues that Alabama has in that secondary. Garrett Nussmeier’s really stepped it up in recent weeks, and I think that LSU has a real shot to win this Game outright and cause more chaos in the college Football playoff bracket. Give me LSU and the points.
