Alabama vs. Texas: Prediction, pick, spread, football game odds, live stream, watch online, TV channel
No. 1 Alabama is going to play Texas on campus. The game is being played on the same campus as LSU's last game. Texas has won seven of the nine games between the two teams. Steve Sarkisian is the new offensive coordinator at Texas. He has only won two games against Nick Saban's teams, but both of them were against his former assistants.
Alabama's offense looked unstoppable in the team's 55-0 win over Utah State. Bryce Young led the rushing with 100 yards on five carries. The final score could have been much bigger if Alabama kept its starters in. Texas' defensive staff has a lot of problems with facing Bryce and the Alabama offense.
Texas hasn't beaten an SEC team in the regular season since 2012. The Longhorns crushed Ole Miss 66-31 in 2012, but they have lost three straight regular-season nonconference games since.
Alabama won the most recent meeting against Texas 37-21 in the Rose Bowl. It was Nick Saban's first national title with the Tide and his second overall.
Alabama and Texas are playing a football game.
Texas is a team capable of moving the ball and putting up points against Alabama's defense. Texas' freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers is making his second career start. The Longhorns' defense allowed 31 points per game last season. Alabama is covering the 20-point spread. SportsLine's computer model has returned almost $3,500 in profit over the past six-plus seasons.
