Alabama vs. Texas A&M preview, prediction: Week 6 college football picks

Alabama and Texas A&M meet in the Week 6 college football game. A Aggies' struggles since the start of the season have taken some of their shine off the game, but they knocked off No. 1 Tide a year ago at Kyle Field while unranked and at 3-2.

SI Fannation will provide in-depth coverage of Saturday's game.

Alabama is going to try to keep Texas A&M guessing about its offense. Bryce Young is injured, so Alabama will play a more unpredictable game. Texas is not a very good team, but it has a good defensive line, veteran secondary and pass-rush. Alabama has the potential to finish first nationally in all major team defensive categories. Texas lost to Alabama last year. The hometown fans will be fired up for revenge. Haynes King will replace Max Johnson, who is out with a hand injury. He played well against Mississippi State last week. It's a game to watch. Christopher Walsh of Bama Central gives his predictions.

Alabama is 1st in the league in rushing yards per attempt and 2nd in total yards. Texas A&M is 3rd in SEC with 5 forced fumbles. Aggies are 28-4 under Fisher when scoring first and 9-11 when not. Aggies are 26-0 when leading after the first quarter and 6-13 when trailing. Alabama is 2-1 at home in October under Saban.

Texas A&M's defensive unit held every opponent to 21 points or fewer until last week. A Aggie's only chance is to clog up passing lanes early and try to jostle Bryce Young in the pocket. Alabama's defense is not strong enough to challenge the Aggies' pursuit group near the line.
