Alabama Crimson Tide Analysis

The Alabama Crimson Tide seem to have found their form after a loss to Texas in week 2. On Saturday, they defeated Texas A&M 26-20 in a game that was tied 17-17 at the half. QB Jalen Milroe threw for a career-high 321 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, and conducted a steady passing attack to WRs Jermaine Burton and Isaiah Bond. In addition, the Tide's defense stepped up in the second half to hold the Aggies to three points. Overall, they are 78th in total offense, 67th rushing the football, 83rd through the air, 11th in red zone efficiency, 13th in total defense, 24th against both the run and pass, and 35th in turnover differential. Power Ranking: #13 Offense Ranking: #51 Defense Ranking: #17 Overall Record: 5-1 ATS Record: 4-2 Previous 3 Matchups vs. Arkansas: 3-0 Injury Report: P J. Burnip (leg), and DB M. Moore (ankle) are questionable.

Alabama Poised To Overcome Poorly Ranked Razorbacks Defense, Sending Tide To Victory

Alabama has been finding success recently, with their quarterback Quinn Milroe utilizing his receivers well. Both his patience and decision not to take off running have been beneficial. Arkansas's poor red zone defense (ranked 102nd) likely means Alabama will turn red zone opportunities into touchdowns. Alabama is 24th against the run, putting pressure on the Razorbacks' passing attack. The Tide have had success against Arkansas in recent years, covering the spread in six of the last seven meetings. Therefore, the Crimson Tide should win this Saturday by a wide margin.
