2 Keys to Bet on Missouri vs Alabama

1. Tigers Not Shying Away from Task

The Tigers were shocked by the Aggies 41-10, but we love the way they bounced back when beating UMass and Auburn.

They could have easily folded against Auburn last week, but fought bravely in scoring a 21-17 victory. That victory holds them in good stead against Alabama, which is losing games it usually wins.

“There’s a lot of toughness in that team. A lot of young guys in that team that have never won like that before,” Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz said. “There’s a lot of fight in that team. And to figure it out like that bodes well for the rest of the year.”

College football lines have the Tigers at +13½ and +400 in moneyline markets. Typically, beating the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa is almost impossible, but the gap was closed, and Missouri is good enough to pull off an upset, and at worst, cover the spread.

2. What’s the Matter with ’Bama?

The 2024 Crimson Tide are not what we’re used to seeing. A change in coach, players heading to the NFL, whatever it is, they’re vulnerable.

Therefore, we’re finding it tough to take them at -13½ against a ranked team. They lost to Tennessee last week after holding a halftime lead, and their stunning setback to Vanderbilt was unacceptable for a team of this magnitude.

Their last four games have been anything but impressive, which is why they have fallen from the top ranking to 15th. That’s a fair estimation of their ability, and we’re not confident in backing them to cover the big spread against any team, let alone Missouri.

Our expert betting picks have Alabama losing another game before the year ends, and that could be Saturday. We’re not touching Alabama at -520. There is far too much in such a short price.

“You gotta look inward first and make sure that everything you’re doing is right,” Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said. “Anyone you sense has any type of questioning, you got to make sure you bring them with you.”

Apart from the win over Georgia, we haven’t seen this team come together. They look fractured, and winning by at least 14 points could be beyond them.
