Alabama Crimson Tide vs LSU Tigers Prediction & Picks - NCAA

Prediction published on 11/8/25, 4:07 PM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 1/13/26 at 9:13 AM in NCAA Picks

The Alabama Crimson Tide will look to continue its march to the SEC Title game when they face the LSU Tigers Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, AL. Kickoff for this SEC battle is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST, and ABC will broadcast the game.

The future looked promising for LSU when the Tigers opened the season with a 17-10 win over Clemson and were undefeated at 4-0 after a month heading into the heart of the SEC schedule. However, things quickly went downhill as they lost three of their next four games, culminating in a 49-25 loss to Texas A&M, which led to the dismissal of head coach Brian Kelly. The passing game has been decent, averaging around 250 yards a game (48th in the country), but the run game has struggled (106.3 ypg; 122nd in the country). On the defensive side, they’ve been decent, ranking 36th in total yards allowed (325.9 per game) and 22nd in scoring (18.9 ppg allowed). Alabama, on the other hand, got the season off to a rough start with a bad loss to Florida State. But the Tide have since turned things around, winning seven in a row and being named the No. 4 team in the first CFP rankings.
