Match Preview
In a match set to thrill, the Alabama Crimson Tide is eager to face off against the LSU Tigers. The Tide currently rank at #1 in the NCAAF, carrying forward an impressive record of 8-0! On the other hand, the Tigers, who are not only focused on redeeming themselves after their loss against Alabama last year but they are ranked at #13 themselves... Credited in 2013 as the highest-ranked rivalry, these two first faced off against one another in 1895 and the Alabama Crimson Tide have maintained their lead since then. Tensions and hype run high for this match as massive amounts of talent from both sides compete against each other on the field in a high-stakes game!
Alabama Crimson Tide
Alabama has been performing exceptionally well, with 20 consecutive wins and an 8-0 record under their belt this season. The Crimson Tide have rushed for a total of 498.0 yards in this season... Also, their freshman QB, Jalen Hurts has been a star this season, adding to the strength of Alabama’s roster... The Tide have way more than just a strong rushing total; the defense, led by Jonathan Allen and Tim Williams, is just as brilliant as the offense, which is flanked by Calvin Ridley, ArDarius Stewart, and OJ Howard!
Quarterback Overview
What more can you say about this true freshman/leader for the Tide, QB, Jalen Hurts except for being a fantastic athlete?! Hurts has 1578 yards passing on 204 attempts on 129 completions with 12 TD’s and five interceptions this season!
Running Back Overview
Damien Harris leads the Tide's ground game with 700 rushing on 86 carries and 1 TD with and this year he got a career long, 73 yard run!
Wide Recevier Overview
The two-headed monster wide receiving duo is lead by Calvin Ridley who has 497 yards on 44 receptions and five TD’s and right behind Ridley is ArDarius Stewart with 472 yards on 28 receptions and four TD with a 71 yard TD this season!
Injuy Report
Crimson Tide's injuries only consist of the DB, Eddie Jackson, and OL, Alphonse Taylor.
LSU Tigers
Despite the explosive line-up and talent that Alabama can boast off, the Tigers, currently ranked at #13 posses the sort of motivation required to pull off a miracle win! It is very common knowledge that almost all previous showdowns between the two teams have been close calls – only nine or less points drawing the differences... With a record of 5-2, the Tigers are currently 4-2 ATS in their last six games... Averaging a total of 423.7 yards and 29.9 points per game, Louisiana State must target Alabama’s pressure points to force mistakes in order to win. Etling and Dupre prove to be a productively solid combination, with David Godchaux at the defensive end hoping to contain Jalen Hurts... Fournette returns this season, hoping to coast the team towards a victory that could change the tides of the season in their favor.
Quarterback Overview
The Tigers QB, Danny Etling must have a perfect game against this Alabama defense if the Tigers even remotely have a chance of winning this Saturday... Etling has 1129 yards on 147 attempts with 89 completions and seven TD’s and three interceptions this season.
Running Back Overview
The two-headed rushing attack duo for the Tigers is lead by none other than the man, Leonard Fournette with 670 yards on 83 carries and five TD’s! The other running back is Derrius Guice with 621 yards on 78 carries and he has scored seven TD’s and he managed to pick up career long, 61 yard rushing TD this season.

How to Play
Vote on the main post to enter the bet (main post rewards will also be added to the Stake Pool).
Cast your Vote Bet on ONLY ONE outcome for which you bet on for the win (Multiple comment votes will be automatically disqualified by the script, unvote and revote counts as multiple votes and will be disqualified).
After 24 hours, the post and related game comments payout to the pool; remember 25% voters rewards are deducted from the total post payout value first as per Steem curation rules. Voters are rewarded in standard fashion in proportion to their Steem Power holdings.
The Stake Pool:
The remaining 75% of the total payout is paid out in 50% Steem Power and 50% in liquid currencies, the latter now varies in payout ratio after the new fork. To make the process less complicated, we have decided to use all paid out SBD to buy Steem in the internal market to create a grand total Steem Stake Pool.
30% of the Stake Pool will be retained, of which 15% will go to the writer/sports presenter of the post, and the 15% balance towards editing, development and advertising.
70% of the Stake Pool will be held until the event/game outcome is determined.
Once the winning outcome is determined, we will execute a proprietary developed script that will divide and pay out the Steem rewards equally, using the Power Up method, to Mass Distribute SP to all participants that voted on the main post as the entrance fee as well as voted on the correct comment representing the winning outcome.
Only participants with a Reputation of 35 or more will qualify to earn SP rewards, but non-qualifiers can still vote and comment in support of the redistribution initiative.
Entry cut-off time is the earlier of the post payout or the start of the event.
