- The LSU Tigers are 2.5 underdogs at home against Alabama this week in this top-25 matchup.

BATON ROUGE – The LSU Tigers are 2.5-point underdogs at home against the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday night. This is essentially Alabama’s last chance to stay in play for the SEC Championship, which is huge for legal sports betting playoff implications.
Alabama is sitting at 3-2 in SEC play, while LSU is 3-1.
When playing as the favorite this season, Alabama has gone 3-4 against the spread. Before blowing out Missouri at home last week, things were trending down for the Tide.
Alabama failed to cover against Vanderbilt, South Carolina, and Tennessee in that three-game stretch. Even worse, the Tide lost two of those games as favorites at college football betting sites.
LSU fell to Texas A&M in their last game but have played better at home over the last few seasons. Since 2022, LSU is 14-4 ATS when playing at home. Straight up, the Tigers have gone 17-1 since 2022 when playing as the home team.
Alabama on the other hand, has played three games this season as the favorite on the road. The Tide only covered the spread in one of those three games.
