The 17th-ranked Missouri Tigers (6-1, 2-1 Big 12) face the 15th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (5-2, 2-2) Saturday in a battle that could serve as an elimination game for one of these teams’ playoff hopes. Kickoff from Bryant-Denny Stadium is set for 3:30 p.m. (ABC). Below, we look at Missouri vs. Alabama odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.
Missouri survived a couple of scares last week. The first was a 21-17 home victory against the Auburn Tigers Saturday in which Mizzou trailed 17-3 early in the 3rd quarter. The second was QB Brady Cook going down early in the 1st quarter with an ankle injury. He spent nearly 2 hours in real-time out of the game and at a hospital for an MRI before returning to the field and rallying his squad to victory — Mizzou covered as a 3.5-point favorite. Meanwhile, star WR Luther Burden III was held to just 6 catches for 49 yards on 11 targets. Mizzou probably needs to win this game to get back into playoff consideration.
Alabama found itself on the opposite side of the pendulum with a 24-17 loss at Tennessee — ‘Bama was a 3.5-point favorite. The Tide have lost 2 of 3 and failed to cover in all 3. Freshman WR Ryan Williams turned a whopping 20 targets into 8 grabs for 73 yards and a score. A loss for Alabama here would effectively end its playoff hopes.
