Alabama at Texas Prediction for Week 2
Odds, best bets and analysis for this college football matchup

The Crimson Tide steamrolled defending Mountain West champion Utah State last week. It was total annihilation in a 55-0 victory for Alabama, and that is only because they let off the gas pedal by pulling the starters in the third quarter. They didn't score a point in the fourth. The Tide might have won this game by 100 points if they tried all game, but good sportsmanship is still alive and well it seems.
Alabama is a machine that just keeps on producing the greatest talents in the sport year in and year out. They lose a ton of star power every year to the NFL Draft, yet they still come back the next and destroy everything in their path. They ran for 278 yards last week and threw for 281, showing balance on their way to this massive win. The offensive line is better than it was in 2021, which will give Heisman winner Bryce Young more time to sling it around the field. The defense is angry after that National Championship loss to Georgia last season, and with the talent they have there, it was no wonder a motivated Tide defense shut-out Utah State.
Texas has the talent, but I'm not so sure they're ready for the storm that is approaching on the horizon.
