The Betting Trends: LSU Football vs. Alabama Crimson Tide in Week 11
No. 15 LSU (6-2, 3-1) will take on the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday night in Tiger Stadium with both programs looking to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive.
It'll be a Top 15 matchup in Baton Rouge with significant postseason implications on the line.
“The loser of this game says goodbye, adios to the season,” SEC Network's Paul Finebaum told 'SportsCenter.' “Not in the literal sense, but in terms of the CFP [College Football Playoff]."
“The loser will have three losses. There’s no way to get back in. There will be an SEC Championship Game. There really won’t be any hope. There’re too many schools competing for those at-large bids.”
