OUR PREDICTION: These two defenses are once again stout. Alabama ranks fourth in the nation in total yards allowed per game (275.1), is first in the nation in rushing yards allowed per game (70.8), and is fourth in points allowed (14.9). On the other side, LSU is No. 7 against the run, allowing just 104.1 rushing yards per game, and is fifth in the nation in points allowed (15.0). The under has cashed in all four of the last four meetings between these two teams in Baton Rouge and is 6-1 in the last seven meetings overall. This is going to be a defensive slugfest.
