Game Preview

No. 15 Alabama aims to get back into the College Football Playoff picture as they host No. 21 Missouri in a high-stakes SEC showdown Saturday in Tuscaloosa. With both teams eyeing crucial wins, bettors should consider the implications of Alabama’s recent loss and Missouri’s underdog momentum.

The Crimson Tide (5-2, 2-2 SEC) lost 24-17 to Tennessee last week, increasing pressure on this matchup. First-year coach Kalen DeBoer emphasized the need to keep pushing forward, acknowledging the challenge of maintaining championship form in the SEC. Alabama’s ground game struggled, totaling just 76 yards against Tennessee. Quarterback Jalen Milroe threw for 239 yards and a touchdown but was picked off twice, something for bettors to keep in mind for turnover props.

Missouri (6-1, 2-1 SEC) arrives off a gritty 21-17 comeback win over Auburn. Quarterback Brady Cook, battling an ankle injury, left briefly for an MRI before leading the Tigers to victory in the final quarter. Cook has passed for 1,545 yards with seven touchdowns and added four rushing scores this season, and his resilience may appeal to those betting on Missouri’s offensive output.

Missouri’s offense, led by top rusher Nate Noel (503 yards, two touchdowns) and versatile receiver Luther Burden III, aims to step up in a tough road environment. Coach Eli Drinkwitz hopes for a better result than their recent 41-10 loss at Texas A&M, noting the need to build confidence through preparation. Bettors eyeing point spreads or totals may see value in Missouri’s determined approach against Alabama’s stout defense, making this a compelling matchup for spreads, totals, and player props alike.
