Well, we find ourselves with another large spread in favor of Alabama. Last week, Texas A&M not only covered but straight up won, handing the Crimson Tide its first loss in 19 games.

This weekend’s opponent is Mississippi State, who is two weeks removed from beating the same Aggie team on the road. With a bye squeezed in, surely Nick Saban will have his team lazar focused heading into Starkville.

According to Tipico Sportsbook, Alabama has opened as a 17.5 point favorite for Saturday. Being 1-2 against the spread in the SEC, Ole Miss (only home conference home game) is the only team to not cover this season.

Of Alabama’s last 10 regular-season losses, this will be the fourth time Mississippi State is the following opponent. With a 3-0 record already, the average margin of victory is 22.67.
