Former LSU head coach Les Miles is now picking the No. 19 Tigers to upset No. 2 Alabama on Saturday night.
Earlier in the week, Miles picked Alabama to win. He made the pick on his weekly “Les Is More” podcast hosted by The Players’ Tribune.
“As much as I hate to admit it, if I had to bet the house, I’d have to bet on Alabama,” Miles said. “It’s hard for me to pick against LSU,” he added.
But on Saturday, Miles flipped his pick, according to a tweet from broadcaster Mike Nabors.
Now, he’s going with his former team:

Is Miles letting bias get in the way on this one? Maybe, maybe not. But no one can dispute his love for the Bayou Bengals.
LSU and Alabama will kick off at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
