The current betting odds have Alabama listed as a 14 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Alabama has looked good in their games this season with their 5-2 record overall and their 3-2 conference record which has them in the top half of the SEC. They have looked good on their home field too with their 3-1 home record this season. Meanwhile, Texas A&M has looked good in their games this season with their 4-3 record overall, but their 1-3 conference record has them in the bottom half of the SEC. They have been a bad road team too with their 0-2 road record this year. Texas A&M is coming off a 41-0 win over The Citadel and they really needed that get right win, but they have had a lot of trouble in conference play and haven't looked anything like the team that went to the CFP last season. The defense hasn't been bad, but it hasn't been great either and their offense has looked terrible with Reed taking a step back this year. They have looked a lot worse in their road games too and now they have to face a really angry Alabama team looking to bounce back. Alabama was rolling to start the season and they looked like one of the best teams in the nation after 5 games, but they have lost 2 games in a row now. They lost a really tight game at home to Georgia 20-17 which was their 1st loss of the season and now they are coming off a terrible 26-10 road loss to Tennessee in their last one, not showing up at all on offense. That wasn't a great situation for them though, coming off a loss to Georgia in a really big game and then going to a place where they haven't had success in years. Now they are coming back home against a Texas A&M team that has been reeling lately and this is a great opportunity for Alabama to get right themselves. Texas A&M is nothing like they were last season and they are trending towards being near the bottom of the SEC this year, so look for Alabama to roll over them at home in a bounce back game. The best way to place a bet here is on Alabama to cover the spread in this game.

“I think we are making strides. I think when you watch us at practice, I think we are continuing to improve the overall level again. That needs to translate and that wasn’t unique to last week. I do feel like the last couple of weeks, we’ve started operating and functioning a little bit back towards where we were heading into the season and that’s the starting point.” - Mike Elko after his team’s win against The Citadel in their last game. 

“He did a good job getting rid of the football and escaping pressure. The key was they were able to run the football.” - Kalen DeBoer after his team’s loss against Tennessee in their last game.
