Alabama comes into this contest as a 3.5-point favorite despite losing its past three games. As for LSU, it’s looking to rebound from Saturday’s 65-58 loss as a 6.5-point favorite to an unranked Arkansas team. Nonetheless, LSU is still 15-2 and ranked 13th in the country.
But this handicap isn’t about a particular side in this matchup. Instead, it’s the total that’s sitting at 148, which bettors should prioritize. That number seems a bit high considering that LSU has the most efficient defense in all of college basketball. It’s why the total is 14-3 to the under in the Tigers’ games this season.
