NCAAB Betting - LSU vs Alabama Preview

NCAAB - LSU v Alabama

SEC foes are set to open league play in Baton Rouge this weekend, as the LSU Tigers play host to the Alabama Crimson Tide. These tw have meet 160 times already overall and Alabama holds a 95-65 edge over LSU. Last season each team won at home.

LSU lost three games in a row, before they won over McNeese State several days ago and moved to 9-5 overall and 9-1 at home. The Tigers are netting 66.9 ppg through 14 contests, and they are holding opponents to 64.4 ppg, however when playing at home, they are netting almost 70 ppg, while limiting their opponents to 60 ppg.

Alabama is 10-4 overall and won the first true road game last time out when they beat Toledo by 67-50. They also played 4 games on a neutral venue where they are 2-2 overall. Alabama is generating 72.5 ppg while limiting opponents to 64.5 ppg, but when they are playing away they are netting and conceding 68 ppg per average.

LSU is favored as a 2 point favorite and I believe they should cover this handicap, although this should be a tight affair till the end. I believe the line for the totals is set to low by at least 5 points if not more. Hosts have done well defensively so far, but Alabama has many options when it comes to offense and I am sure they can get past the 65 point line if not even closer to 70 points. LSU has good options inside the the paint with Warren and Mitchell and they should get around 70 points as well in the end. LSU will probably win this one, as they have a home advantage, but I prefer to take over 130 points in the end. Both should go over 60 points and winner should reach 70 points which enough to cover this line.

Good luck!
