LSU at Alabama. Saturday night, 8 p.m. ET, on CBS with
Verne Lundquist and
Gary Danielson calling the action. The hype for this one has been out of control (the game is being compared to
these 17 other showdowns), but it's justifiable since this a rare No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup. If you want to hear people who know what they're talking about preview the game,
check out the Mandel Initiative podcast with SI.com's
Stewart Mandel, who was joined by Danielson this week. OutKick the Coverage has your
Tigers-Crimson Tide drinking game. And BoDog.com Sportsbook manager
Richard Gardner provides this betting nugget: "At the pace that the LSU-Alabama game is getting bet right now, this will almost certainly be our highest bet college game of the year to date and may even rival the BCS championship. As predicted the public is hitting up LSU taking the five points on the road, with about 75 percent of the money on the Tigers."
