  • Alabama is the best football team in the country.

Alabama takes on the undefeated Texas A&M Aggies in Tuscaloosa on Saturday.

    • The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Texas A&M's last 11 games.
    • Alabama is 19-0 SU in its last 19 games.

    The Tide are coming off back-to-back road wins against ranked conference opponents in fairly easy fashion. Alabama has one of the best scoring differentials in the nation, outscoring opponents by 30.4 points per game.

Though Trevor Knight is a good runner, he is merely solid when it comes to throwing the ball and the Aggies may be in a bad way if they need him to start slinging it.
