Could the Tide cover the spread? Yes and no. Let’s find out why and how.

5. Alabama’s defensive line

Last week against Missouri, the Crimson Tide showed themselves to be a much faster and motivated team, especially the defensive line.

The defense was led by Daniel Wright who had 10 solo tackles (1 for loss), Dylan Moses who recorded 4 solo tackles (2.5 for loss),  Josh Jobe who had 7 solo tackles (1 for loss), and Chrisitan Harris who had 6 tackles (2 for loss).

If they play Texas A&M with the same energy and mentality, Alabama has a chance to once again, shut out the Aggies at home.

OK, and now for the one reason Alabama could struggle to cover the 18-point spread.
