Mississippi State will host Alabama in SEC action on Saturday night with kickoff set for 7 PM EST. Alabama is a 17 point road favorite in this one with a total of 57.5. The game can be seen on ESPN.
With Alabama losing last week, the SEC West division could potentially be wide open. The Tide sits in 1st place at 2-1 but several other teams including Miss State are 1-1 and right on their tale.
Other teams might sense some vulnerability with Alabama. Aside from the loss last week they also narrowly got by Florida a couple of weeks ago. It hasn’t been that dominant Alabama we’re used to thus far. In their two toughest games, they lost and won by 2.

Miss State comes into this game with big question marks. They did beat the very same Texas A&M team that beat the Tide last week but otherwise they haven’t delivered. They lost to a struggling LSU team as well as Memphis and only got by La Tech by 1.
As you can see above in the head to head history, there’s a built in talent gap that exists between these two programs. It’s a series that has been dominated by Alabama. Going back to 1990, the Tide are 25-6. Alabama has won 13 straight in the series by an average score of 32-7.
We see no reason to look any other way than Alabama in this spot. The number has dipped under -17 in a few spots which we’ll gladly lay.
Alabama -16.5
