Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Alabama Crimson Tide. 9. player. Nov 5. Baton Rouge, LA. 829

After beating Ole Miss, LSU will have their bye week and then they will get ready for a home game with Alabama. This is a game that most college football fans will look forward to every season and while the past two games have not had much national hype, here’s hoping that changes in 2022. Alabama narrowly lost to Georgia in the national title game last season and will be the favorites to repeat. Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young is back, as is star linebacker Will Anderson.

Kelly is going to get LSU back to playoff contention, but beating Alabama in 2022 is going to be a tall task for anyone. The Tigers just don’t have enough firepower to be able to keep up in this game. However, that is what everyone said last year and LSU almost pulled off a stunning upset. Alabama wins big in Baton Rouge.

Final Score: LSU 20, Alabama 41 (7-2, 4-2)

Fayettville, AR. Arkansas Razorbacks. 10. 844. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Nov 12. player

After a tough loss at home to Alabama, LSU football needs to be prepared to rebound quickly. The Tigers will go on the road to face Arkansas, a team that might start the season in the top 25. Head coach Sam Pittman has done a great job at changing the culture around in Fayettville and has the Razorbacks competitive in most games.

It is always tough going on the road after playing a team like Alabama and this is the type of game that will really test LSU’s depth. Look for Arkansas to catch LSU sleeping after the loss to Alabama and the Razorbacks get the win at home.

Final Score: LSU 24, Arkansas 30 (7-3, 4-3)
