Alabama will open up the 2020 season with a road game in Columbus, Missouri to face the Missouri Tigers. This game is one of two added SEC East opponents for the shortened, conference-only season.
The Week 1 matchups were announced on the Paul Finebaum Show.
Brett McMurphy of Stadium.com reports via Twitter that Alabama opens up as a 19.5 point favorite over Missouri.
The two teams have faced each other a total of six times, the Crimson Tide has four wins, the Tigers have the other two. No ties between the two programs.
Missouri’s last win over Alabama came in the 1975 season, they won with a final score of 20-7.
McMurphy also reported the opening lines for all the other SEC matchups taking place during Week 1.
The lines were created by Collin Wilson of The Action Network.
They are subject to change, and the season, as a whole, is subject to various outside factors that can affect the season.
