For those college football purists complaining about Alabama having a shot at redeeming itself for the lone defeat it incurred this season, we say “Shut the front Door!”. Bama was by far one of if not the most impressive teams in the nation this season, and it rightfully deserves to be here having lost before each of the teams ranked ahead of them did at the tail end of the season. Head coach Nick Saban’s squad simply tore apart its opposition and it all started with beat downs of Kent State (48-70, Penn State (27-11), and North Texas (41-0) to start the season. Up until the Crimson Tide’s Week 10 CFB betting odds home battle with LSU, Bama had beaten its first eight opponents by an average of 32.5 PPG while allowing an average of just 6.9 PPG!

The secret to Alabama’s success is no secret – it enters its second BCS National, Championship Game in the last three years ranked first in scoring defense (8.8 PPG), 1st in total yards allowed (191.2 YPG), 1st in defending the pass (116.3 YPG), and 1st in defending the rush (74.9 YPG). On top of that, the defense forced 18 overall turnovers (12 interceptions). Offensively, Bama looks to pound the pigskin down its opponent’s throats behind its behemoth O-Line with RBs Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy; the offense possesses the 15th ranked rushing attack that’s gained an average of 219.8 yards per game (#15). However, for Alabama to loosen up LSU’s fantastic stop unit, QB A.J. McCarron must have the same type of success he had throwing the ball in the first go round when he completed 16-of 28 passes for 199 yards; ball security will be of utmost importance.

What else can you say about the top ranked LSU Tigers? The Madhatter’s kids passed every test it was faced with which included road tests against Oregon to start the season, at Mississippi State in a nationally televised weeknight game, at West Virginia the following week, the win in OT at Alabama, and then the comeback in the SEC championship Game against Georgia. The squad won outright each of the two times it was dogged in CFB betting odds action, and it was favored in every other game and posted an impressive 7-3 mark against the closing number.

Like tonight’s opponent, the Tigers don’t possess a balanced offensive attack, but their ground attack is one of the most ferocious in the country spearheaded by the duo of Michael Ford and Spencer Ware. To date, LSU has rushed the ball for an average of 217.8 YPG (#17) at 5.0 YPC (#17) with QB Jordan Jefferson also being a threat to tuck the pigskin and run. The Tigers eclipsed the 40-point plateau in nine of their 13 games played and averaged scoring 44.3 PPG their last four games of the season. LSU’s +22 turnover margin is the best in the country and one of the main reasons why it went unscathed throughout the regular season.

CFB Odds Prediction – LSU won outright and covered the pointspread in each of these teams last two confrontations; the ‘under’ cashed with ease in both contests. Though the Tigers sprung the upset in the first go round, it wasn’t as if Bama didn’t have its chances to pull away. When you miss two field goals in a field goal type game, you’re going to come up on the short end of the scoreboard more times than not. That said; we’re looking for both offenses to score some points this time around, and expect both to combine to go ‘over’ the closing number. It’s extremely tough picking a side, but we believe the Crimson Tide will find a way to get the job done this time around. With Alabama a perfect 4-0 SU & ATS its L/4 neutral field battles as well as 9-4 ATS its L/13 as chalk, lay the digit with the Crimson Tide and look for them to get their revenge in the grandest of bowl season games!

LSU Tigers vs Ohio State Buckeyes

Monday Jan. 7th, New Orleans

Spread: LSU -4

Over/Under Total: 49

Both teams have been resting for nearly 50 days now and you gotta wonder how that will effect their performance and rythem. Ohio State will have to rely on their defense to control the tempo of the game they definantly do not want to get into a shootout with Matt Flynn and the Tigers who are ranked 12th in the country in scoring. The Buckeyes will most likely keep sophomore RB Chris Wells (1463 yds, 14TD’s) busy on the ground to try and grind down the clock.LSU employs a two-quarterback system of Matt Flynn, who threw for 2,233 yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, and Ryan Perrilloux, who had 694 yards passing, eight TDs and two INTs. Those players combined to rush for 410 yards, bolstering a ground game led by 1,017-yard rusher Jacob Hester, Keiland Williams (458 yards), Trindon Holliday (351) and Charles Scott (318). This combination was key in their success in the SEC and may be to much for the Buckeyes defense tohandle. LSU is the favorite mostly becauseits a home game for them and they played a tougher schedule I think it may be a low scoring game if OSU can get into a rythem early and slow the game down so I like the under 49, but I think the play is LSU but buy the half point down to -3.5. Iforsee the final score 17-21 LSU.
