SportsLine's model revealed its best bets for Saturday's SEC showdown of the Texas A&M Aggies vs. Alabama Crimson Tide

• 2 min read

Teams in need of season-stabilizing wins face off in a key SEC matchup Saturday afternoon when Alabama Crimson Tide host the Texas A&M Aggies. Alabama (5-2, 3-2 SEC) has dropped two straight, both vs. top-15 competition, 20-17 to Georgia and 26-10 at Tennessee. The offense has sputtered with sophomore quarterback Keelon Russell held under 150 yards in both losses. For A&M (4-3, 1-3), the Aggies arrive after a 41-0 shutout of The Citadel but has overall struggled offensively in the SEC. They will lean on a ground game featuring KJ Edwards and Jamarion Morrow while trying to pressure an Alabama offensive line that has allowed 21 sacks.

Top Texas A&M vs. Alabama predictions

After simulating Texas A&M vs. Alabama 10,000 times, SportsLine model is going Under 50.5 points at betting apps. The Under would be a trend following both of these teams. It's hit with ease in three straight SEC games for the Aggies, and in back-to-back games for the Tide. 

Each team averages just under 165 rushing yards per game, so expect ball control to be a focus for both sides. Edwards averages a robust 6.7 yards per carry for A&M, and Trae'shawn Brown 5.5 for Alabama. That means running clocks and a path to the Under. 

The model is projecting 44 combined points as the Under hits 63% of the time. See the model's spread and money-line picks at SportsLine.
