Alabama (-2.5; 46) at Texas A&M
While Alabama has seemingly gotten right with consecutive victories and covers over Ole Miss and at Mississippi State, the Crimson Tide offense is not exactly rolling averaging just 341 yards in those victories.
The Aggies rank 20th nationally in Rushing Defense and are only allowing 2.88 YPC and have given up just one touchdown on the ground thus far this season. Alabama QB Jalen Milroe has had trouble making plays down the field in obvious passing situations. The Tide's offensive line has also allowed 20 sacks this season.
Texas A&M held Arkansas and its dual-threat QB KJ Jefferson to just 174 yards and ten first downs last week.
Despite losing QB Connor Weigman for the season two weeks ago to a foot injury, Max Johnson is an experienced backup. He came into the second half vs. Auburn and threw for 123 yards and two touchdowns and went 17/28 for 210 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT in last week's victory over Arkansas.
New offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino has improved this Aggies offense dramatically. The Aggies were 101st last year and now rank 34th in total offense.
