The Aggies are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games vs. Alabama, however, are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. The Crimson Tide are 4-16 ATS in their last 20 games & 5-10 ATS in their last 15 home games.

Texas A&M is coming off back-to-back wins behind solid offensive performances, however, this is still a team that has struggled in SEC play this season and come into this game with just a 4-5 road record. Alabama has struggled defensively this season, however, the Crimson Tide has of the more explosive offenses in the country as Alabama comes into this game ranked 10^th in scoring offense & 28^th in three-pointers made per game, and as the Crimson Tide are 13-2 at home this season, I think Alabama is able to do more than enough on the offensive end to win this one by double-digits and cover this spread. Good Luck!
