When the Alabama Crimson Tide (4-1, 3-2 ATS) clash with Texas A&M Aggies (4-1, 4-1 ATS), straight up, the outcome is almost always an Alabama victory. When it comes to covering the spread, though, it’s Texas A&M that often gets the decision.
Alabama has won nine of the past 10 meetings between these SEC rivals. However, Texas A&M has covered the spread in four of the past six games and in three of the last five played at College Station, Texas.
Nonetheless, oddsmakers are again turning the 11th-ranked Tide out as the betting choice in this year’s game. Alabama is a 2.5-point road favorite in the Alabama vs Texas A&M odds.

While Texas A&M has done well against Alabama on the betting line, outright the Aggies are just 3-12 all-time against the Crimson Tide. Even that 2021 upset of the top-ranked Tide didn’t spark Texas A&M to a memorable campaign. The Aggies finished 8-4. In fact, they’ve never won the SEC West title.
A&M Pass Rush Will Pursue Milroe
Alabama QB Jalen Milroe made his first career start in last season’s 24-20 home win over Texas A&M, filling in for an injured Bryce Young. In that game, the Tide didn’t come close to covering as 24.5-point home favorites.
Milroe was 10-of-12 for 164 yards and ran for two TDs in last week’s road win over Mississippi State. However Milroe also often finds himself running for his life.

He’s been sacked 3+ times in three of his four starts. That could prove problematic against an Aggies defense that’s recorded seven sacks in the past two games. On the season, Texas A&M is third in the nation in sacks (20) and second in the country in sacks per game (4.00).
Alabama vs Texas A&M Prediction
Alabama’s defense is also dynamic. The Tide checked Mississippi State QB Will Rogers on 107 yards through air, a week after he threw for a career-high 487 yards.
This week they’ll be facing a backup in LSU transfer Max Johnson. He’s replacing Texas A&M Conner Weigman, out for the season after suffering a leg injury two weeks ago against Auburn.
Alabama vs Texas A&M Pick: Alabama -2.5 (-110)
