Alabama vs Missouri Prediction 

Alabama comes into this matchup after losing a tough game at home against Auburn and they will be on the road for this game. The Crimson Tide have been one of the best teams in the country so far this season and they are scoring over 90 points per game. Alabama only has losses to Auburn, Ole Miss, Oregon, and Purdue, but this will be a tough road game. Missouri is 8-4 in SEC play, but they do have great wins against Florida, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State over the last few weeks. The Tigers are shooting 48% from the field this year and they have the much better defensive numbers on the season. Alabama is the better team in this matchup, but they are coming off of a very physical game against Auburn and will now be in a very tough place to play. Take Missouri to get the job done at home.
