Alabama has lost two straight, and Bryant-Denny is going to be loud. Texas A&M has scored six points against both LSU and Missouri. I’ll lay it with a Tide team that needs this one. Roll Tide.
The Matchup
- No. 13 Alabama is 5-2. The Tide scored 45 or more in five straight, then lost 20-17 to Georgia and 26-10 at Tennessee.
- A&M can’t score on good teams. The Aggies are 4-3. They lost 31-21 to Kentucky, 35-6 at LSU and 27-6 at Missouri. Their wins came against Missouri State, Arizona State, Arkansas and The Citadel.
- Kickoff. 3:30 PM ET at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, on ABC.
The Number
Thirteen and a half is a big number in the SEC. But A&M has put up 6, 6 and 21 in its three SEC losses, and Alabama’s offense was scoring 45-plus every week before that.
The honest case against: Alabama’s offense has scored 27 points in two games, and it’s hard to cover two touchdowns when you’re cold. It’s a Game Pick, a lean, and like every pick we post, it lands on the receipts page win or lose. Our college ratings haven’t beaten the lines in testing, so every college pick is a lean.
Bottom Line
Take Alabama minus thirteen and a half at . Lean. Bama at home after two losses. Roll Tide.
Lines as posted Friday at 10:51 AM ET. Injury news for Saturday is expected, not confirmed, so check before kickoff. We don’t post college player props.
