5 reasons Alabama covers against Texas A&M, and 1 reason they won’t

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

1. Kellen Mond vs. Alabama’s secondary

Auburn defensive lineman Nick Coe (91) puts pressure on Texas A&M quarterback Kellen Mond (11) at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2019. Auburn defeated Texas A&M 28-20.

If Mond is able to make big plays downfield, it could create problems for Alabama. The Crimson Tide’s secondary last week showed need for improvement, and let several big plays go undefended.

This could be one big way that Texas A&M is able to prevent Alabama from covering the spread.
