The Texas A&M Aggies opened the season with a 17-12 triumph over Vanderbilt, but they were never even close of covering the 31.5-point spread. Here they'll face an Alabama side that could've/should've covered their 28.5-point spread at Missouri last week, but instead the Tide took their foot off the gas after opening a 35-3 lead. I don't think Tide coach Nick Saban was all that impressed and that he'll make sure his players stay 100% focused for the whole game against the Aggies.

"I think it's pretty obvious that it was a good win for the opening game of the season," Nick Saban said. "Any time you can win a game in the SEC, you have to be happy about that. I thought we played well in the first half, which shows the preparation and focus the players had. We also didn't maintain our focus and enthusiasm throughout the second half, and it showed in our performance. Hopefully, we'll be able to get a lot of players to make improvement throughout the week so we can play better."

Crimson Tide are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in October and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Aggies are 9-20 ATS in their last 29 games in October and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game.
