00:04 >> Joe, it's a three and a half point spread in favor of the Crimson Tide,
00:09 the over under in the low 60s around 61 and a hook.
00:12 As you break down this football game, last year of course,
00:16 it was the overtime thriller in Death Valley, under the lights in Tiger Stadium.
00:20 This year, prime time under the lights in Tuscaloosa.
00:24 What are some of the key matchups you are paying attention to
00:26 in this football game between Alabama and LSU?
00:29 >> Well, on the LSU side, it is Jaden Daniels and
00:31 those wide receivers are Brian Thomas and Malik Neighbors.
00:34 Potentially two of the best wide receivers in the nation.
00:37 98 receptions, over 1,700 receiving yards, 20 touchdowns.
00:42 Going up against an Alabama defense that's given up about 197 passing yards per game,
00:47 allowing 60% in terms of completion percentage.
00:50 That has to be the matchup for LSU in this ball game, Ben.
00:53 Push tempo, score first, and let's see if Jalen Milrow and
00:57 that offense can match us score for score, especially playing on the road.
01:01 And I think that's the concern for Alabama heading into this ball game.
01:05 I'm drinking the Kool-Aid too.
01:07 >> Yeah.
01:08 >> Yeah. >> So I noticed that you said that's
01:10 the matchup for us.
01:11 Now Joe Lisi does not believe that he is a member of the Bayou Bengals.
01:15 However, he is heavily invested in LSU.
01:18 So much like last week in our college football today game of the week,
01:22 when there were adversaries in Salt Lake, Kevin Land is six and a half with Oregon.
01:27 Joe back in the underdog youths, we have a similar phenomenon on this Saturday for
01:32 our CFT game of the week.
01:34 Joe, big time with the Bayou Bengals.
01:36 Kevin, looking at the Crimson Tide.
01:38 >> So for a while, Lisi, because he's been trying to get me to believe in
01:43 Jaden Daniels, the Heisman Trophy candidate.
01:45 >> Yep.
01:46 >> We were continuing to look at their futures.
01:48 And he was correct about Daniels' price being off in the market,
01:52 though I find his price presently to be preposterous.
01:55 He has two losses as a dog today and would be in the SEC title game.
01:59 But their 150 to one price, 200 to one at other places,
02:02 depending on where you look, was always insane if their quarterback
02:07 was being viewed as a true Heisman candidate.
02:09 And that has been proven true, that number down to 35 to one.
02:13 Great value, bad spot.
02:15 The reality is I've bet enough of Bama after their loss to Texas that
02:20 if I felt shaky today, I could grab some LSU.
02:23 I could even things out a little bit, but I don't like LSU in this game.
02:27 Let me ask you this, Joe.
02:29 >> Yes. >> Tell me this.
02:30 Can you make any argument that LSU is better than Ole Miss?
02:33 >> Yes.
02:34 >> Really?
02:35 Cuz they played.
02:36 >> Yeah, they lost.
02:37 They blew a nine point lead with the last five minutes of the game.
02:41 >> You mean how LSU got their win against them too.
