Texas vs Alabama Prediction 

Alabama comes into this matchup ranked #2 in the country and they have won six games in a row, but they will be on the road for this game. The Crimson Tide have scored 90 points per game this year and they have been one of the best offensive teams in the country. Alabama has had some close calls on the road in recent weeks, as they have won by five points or fewer in each of their last three road games. Texas has dropped three of their last four games and they have allowed 86 and 78 in their last two. The Longhorns are just 4-7 in conference play this year and I don’t think they have the offense to hang with a team like Alabama. Take the Crimson Tide here.
