Alabama sits as a 28.5-point favorite over LSU at SI Sportsbook.
What is typically the biggest regular season game on the SEC football calendar isn’t even in the conference’s premier TV slot this year. It’s easy to see why.
LSU has had myriad issues this season, with first and foremost the ouster of head coach Ed Orgeron only 21 months after one of the more remarkable runs to a national title in recent memory. It’s Alabama’s largest spread against a Power 5 team yet.
The seeds were obviously sewn last season for Orgeron’s demise, with a little bit of betting history on the table as well.
