OK STUPID, I like LSU here myself. Alabama is garbage and has not beaten a good team all year.

except LSU, by 10 points, a few weeks ago.

I agree, Bama sucks, I've probably made more money fading them in football and basketball than any other team this year. But if there's a game they absolutely must win, it's tonight. If they get blown out again, the season is over. Look for Gottfried to try a new lineup tonight in an attempt to spark his team.

Hoja,

Actually I think that beaing LSU earlier hurts Bama here because of the obvious revenge motive. And the Tide have yet to beat a decent opponent on the road. Sure the Tide NEED to win this game, but I just do not think they are good enough to pull it off vs. an inspired opponent on the road.

Good Luck to You

I do agree Bama is overrated but........

That revenge factor didn't work on Sat against Ark. These two teams match up pretty well against each other. LSU and Bama are both up and down ball clubs this season. I think giving 6.5 is a little much in this match up. Give me Bama and the points all day.

Hemlock,

The reason that revenge didn't work on Saturday is that Arkansas is simply BETTER than Alabama.

Revenge works a lot better when the inferior team wins the first meeting, and I do think that LSU is the better team here.

Good Luck

I agree with you LT that LSU is the better team. I just don't think they are 7 points better than Bama.

Neither of these teams is overrated now. They were earlier in the year, now they are correctly slotted as about the 20th-25th best teams in the country.
Alabama is still the more talented team, but I wouldn't touch them with monopoly money because they are so disfunctional (They have a lot of things going on behind the scenes that very few people know about. They may or may not have this all straightened out by the end of the season, but they are on my no-play list until proven otherwise). Good luck to anyone betting this game.

Its hard for me to bet on either of these teams. I had LSU on Sunday, but plus points againt Georgia. They almost blew that cover on me.

Good luck with them.

Passing on this game myself guys.

I'm not sold on that Guard play of LSU right now. It just seems a bit shaky to me right now.

EaglesPhan36 · 01-31-07, 06:56 PM

The play in this one for me is the Under at 130

Good Luck Bro!!

I'm staying way off this game, both these teams are obviously collective head cases. But LSU seems to be really suffering without Tack Minor, the PG, who will be out again for this game. The PG is often the most valuable player to lose, especially in the NCAAs, even though PGs are usually not the glamour guys.

Alabama is garbage for sure, or maybe rather gourmet food that tastes like garbage and makes you sick, but I think they have a good chance of hanging with LSU here. I'd expect a small win by LSU, maybe 3 or 4 points. There's not a lot of quality around Glen Davis. I'd go for Bama plus the points.

But GL to you all, I'll be rooting for LSU.

Razz · 01-31-07, 10:54 PM

Strange, both teams actually playing very well tonight.

bigboydan · 01-31-07, 11:21 PM

Bama always seems to play up and down to there composition for some reason. Tonight is another class case of it for sure.

LT Profits · 02-01-07, 12:53 AM

Good call by the Bama Backers!!

I guess LSU is the team that is garbage.
