Alabama are tipped to cover the spread as they get back to winning ways.

The Crimson Tide have had a rough couple of outings, but this is still a dangerous offense, and this Texas A&M team has struggled badly in SEC action this season.

Key Numbers – Will Crimson Tide Roll To 6-2?

Alabama have won 5 of their 7 games
Texas A&M have lost 3 of their 4 conference games
Texas A&M have failed to cover in all 3 conference defeats
The Over has cashed in each of Alabama’s 5 wins this season

Alabama Lead All-Time Head-To-Head; Won Last Meeting

Alabama lead the all-time series 13-3
Alabama won 26-20 when the two teams last met in October 2023

Texas A&M Improved To 4-3 Last Weekend

Texas A&M head to Alabama looking to build on last week’s shutout win, which improved their record to 4-3.

The Aggies opened with back-to-back non-conference games, and shut out Missouri State in a 50-0 win before downing Arizona State 48-20.

They were unable to back that up in their SEC opener though, as they suffered a 31-21 home defeat at the hands of Kentucky.

Texas A&M were then blown out at LSU, 35-6, before finally getting off the mark in the conference as they beat Arkansas 34-7 on the road.

The Aggies failed to follow that up as they lost 27-6 in Missouri a week later, but they did avoid back-to-back defeats as they downed The Citadel, 41-0, last weekend.

Alabama 5-2 Following Consecutive Defeats

Alabama return home in desperate need of a victory, having dropped back-to-back games to fall to 5-2.

The Crimson Tide kicked off the campaign with a 48-10 blowout of East Carolina, and then beat Kentucky 45-17 on the road in their SEC opener.

They followed that up with a 50-36 success against Florida State, before improving their conference record to 3-0 with a couple more wins.

Alabama cruised to a 49-18 victory when they hosted South Carolina, and then went out on the road to down Mississippi State, 56-23.

However, the Crimson Tide’s perfect start was finally ended by a 20-17 defeat at home to Georgia, and that was followed by a surprise 26-10 loss in Tennessee last weekend.

Verdict

Texas A&M @ Alabama

Alabama’s offense has stalled in the past couple of games, but Texas A&M’s record in the SEC does nothing to instil confidence in them here – not even with this many points.

Keelon Russell and the Crimson Tide can get back on track with a victory and cover at home.
