Missouri Tigers vs. Alabama Crimson Tide Prediction
I’m on Alabama here. I have a hard time envisioning Alabama dropping a third straight game at home, and I just don’t see Missouri having the punch to hang around in this game for a full 40 minutes. The Tide are a legitimate threat when this team gets their offense rolling downhill, and I think this is a perfect spot for Alabama to blow past an opponent and win by 15+. Give me Alabama in this one.
