LSU vs. Alabama odds, preview and picks:  Alabama -3.5 (-110 or better)

Alabama lost some of its luster and aura of invincibility after the 34-24 home loss to Texas on Sept. 9. But make no mistake, the Crimson Tide have plenty of talent.

You better believe Alabama coach Nick Saban has mapped out a narrow path to the College Football Playoff. But first, Alabama needs a victory over LSU.

Alabama (7-1) was voted eighth in the initial four-team College Football Playoff rankings, while LSU (6-2) was ranked 14th.

The best match-up will be LSU’s nation-best 47.4 points per game against Alabama’s 16th-ranked defense that allows 16.5 points per game.

Alabama’s offense ranks 50th with 30.6 points per game. LSU’s defense is ranked 73rd, allowing 26.5 points per game.

Alabama might be on a roll, coming off its most impressive victory of the season, 34-20, over Tennessee last week. LSU is coming off a bye, so it should be primed for this big game.

The point total is 59.5. That number seems high for a high-intensity rivalry.

The game at Bryant-Denny Stadium kicks off at 7:45 p.m. ET on CBS. Alabama might have too much defense to slow down LSU. If Alabama’s defense controls the line of scrimmage, the Crimson Tide will win and cover the spread.
