Get pumped college football fans! Week 11 of the college football season is officially here! Following an action-packed Week 10, there will be even more important games this week, with teams looking to kick things up a notch as bowl season and the College Football Playoff are quickly approaching! With the end of the regular season coming to an end, every win and loss counts more from this point forward. One of the key matchups this week will be the Alabama Crimson Tide taking on the LSU Tigers in what should be a highly entertaining SEC rivalry game.
LSU has looked like a strong contender through this season. But a blemish on their record courtesy of the Texas A&M Aggies in Week 9, has dropped them out of the top-10 for the first time this season. But their College Football Playoff hopes have not been completely crushed. There is a lot of football left to be played and anything can happen.
The Alabama Crimson Tide have shown some signs of weakness in their first season without Nick Saban. But even with a couple of bad losses on their record, Death Valley is still one of the toughest college football environments to play in. And that’s why the oddsmakers have the tide as 2.5-point favorites in their Saturday Night showdown.
One player to keep an eye on in this matchup will be Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe. In their matchup against the Tigers last season Milroe set a school record with four rushing touchdowns. It will be interesting to see if he can put on an encore performance as he has had some struggles this season.
So whether you are rooting for a clear favorite or hoping for a miracle by the underdog, the most important thing to remember is that you must be in it to win it.
