why is Alabama only a 4.5 point favorite over LSU?

I'm not sure where we get our point spreads for the pick 'em game but that -4.5 is actually high.
All the lines that I have seen are between -3 and -4.

I don't have an answer to your question. Maybe cuz it's a meatgrinder road game?

Nice touchback there, btw.
