Get ready for a showdown on Saturday as the SEC’s last two undefeated teams face off in College Station.
The last time No. 11 Alabama visited Texas A&M, they suffered a heartbreaking loss to a last-second field goal.
Both teams are riding three-game winning streaks, fueled by recent quarterback changes.
Alabama’s Jalen Milroe has reclaimed the starting role and has played exceptionally well in their back-to-back wins against Ole Miss and Mississippi State, completing 81.8 percent of his passes and throwing for 389 yards.
However, the Crimson Tide’s offense has not been dominant, averaging only 363.2 total yards compared to the Aggies’ 443.4.
Last week, Max Johnson made his first start of the season for Texas A&M. Although he threw for only 210 yards with a 58.2 QBR, the Aggies’ defense held Arkansas to just 174 total yards.
With Texas A&M ranking fifth in yards allowed, giving up only 253.8 per game, their improved defense has given their offense more opportunities to shine.
More importantly, the Aggies have only allowed 2.9 yards per carry.

Alabama relies heavily on their running game, with 61.6 percent of their plays being runs. This puts pressure on Milroe to make uncomfortable throws, as Alabama only attempts 30.8 passes per game.
With both teams facing strong defenses and quarterbacks eager to prove themselves, this game is expected to be extremely close.
Our pick: Texas A&M +2.5.
