Texas A&M vs Alabama Prediction & Pick

Alabama Heisman-contending QB Bryce Young sprained his AC joint in his shoulder in last week's game. He's listed as day-to-day and still uncertain if he will play against A&M, so monitor his status into game day. The spread suggests it's likely he plays, and the spread and total are both up at least 3 points from Sunday's opening lines.

The Crimson Tide rolled up more than 550 yards offense in last week's win against a weaker Arkansas defense and secondary. Texas A&M's defense is much better, and has more talent than their play and results have shown. Four giveaways last week were costly in defeat, but the Aggies have low-scoring wins over Arkansas and Miami with stronger special teams. The secondary had its worst game last week against the SEC's top passer.

Final Score Prediction: Alabama: 34 | Texas A&M: 10

Texas A&M vs Alabama Best Bet

Alabama suffered a stunning 41-38 loss to Texas A&M last year as an 18-point road favorite. The 'Tide gained more than 500 yards offense in that contest, and will need QB Bryce Young back and playing to reach those yards and scoring this year against a stronger A&M defense. Still, Jalen Milroe is a highly-regarded backup quarterback who can keep the offense humming.

Texas A&M has had mostly poor play from their quarterbacks, and Max Johnson will likely play but he too is listed as day-to-day after injuring his hand late in last week's 42-24 loss at Mississippi State. Backup QB Haynes King threw 2 INT's in relief, and the Aggies are going to struggle to move the ball and score this week against Alabama.

Bet: Under 51.5 (-105)
