Alabama (7-1, 4-1) faces LSU (7-2, 3-2) in Baton Rouge on Saturday night, a game that annually holds national championship implications.
The Tigers proved just how dangerous the team can be as a home underdog against a Top 5 team a few weeks ago, knocking off unbeaten Ole Miss, 10-7. Vegas again has installed LSU as a home dog of nearly a touchdown against an Alabama team that’s just 2-5 ATS this season.

Don’t look now, but Vanderbilt is the SEC’s hottest team in Vegas, going 4-1 ATS since a narrow SU win against UMass.
The Commodores have benefitted from fast-diminishing expectations and the fact that many sharps have been hesitant to back Vanderbilt despite perceiving value. The public bet against Vandy heavily in games against South Carolina, Kentucky and Missouri, all ATS wins.
Meanwhile, Texas A&M has lost five consecutive games ATS after a torrid 3-1 start, plummeting from +72 overall ATS to -36.5.
