Despite suffering its second loss of the season in Week 8, Alabama remains one of the favorites in the latest college football playoff
Jalen Milroe missing wide open MFS all game, unless they are wearing orange. This Alabama team doesn’t deserve to make the playoffs, fucking bs! — Matthew ✡️🎗️🇮🇱🇺🇲🇺🇦 מַתִּתְיָהוּ (@Matthjew90) October 20, 2024 Missouri’s strong defensive line offers little respite for Milroe. The Tigers have put up 15 sacks and 59 hurries already this season. He’s thrown six interceptions, with an additional five turnover worthy plays. Keep in mind, the over has hit in nine of the last 11 games in which Alabama is favored. Missouri sits at 6-1 overall, with 2-1 record in the SEC after their 41-10 loss to Texas A&M in Week 6. Like most teams the Tigers play their best football at home, so this road contest, in Tuscaloosa, provides a huge challenge. Corey Batoon’s defense has been the catalyst of the Tigers hot start. Missouri ranks in the top 15 in the nation in points per game (18.2), yards per game (304.3), and third-down conversions (28.2%) allowed. They’ve been especially good against the run, allowing just 3.8 yards per attempt. Moreover, Missouri rank in the top-60 in both PFF pass-rushing grade (82.6), and coverage grade (82.6). Luther is an absolute Burden for defenses to cover — Jeff Mueller, PT, DPT (@jmthrivept) October 13, 2024 Additionally, on the offensive side, Luther Burden III is an elite wide receiver. Burden is the type of explosive weapon who can change the outcome of a game in one play. The Tigers need Burden to be a game-changer to have any hope of pulling off the upset. Bettors should note, the Missouri Tigers are a phenomenal 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games played. Each of these teams will be desperate for a victory in Week 9. But, neither Jalen Milroe, nor Brady Cook have played well of late. On the flip side, both the Crimson Tide and Tigers defensive lines have looked awesome over the past few weeks. Thus, the only early play to make is on the under 56 points. BET & GET UP TO $1,000 NO SWEAT BETS! USE CODE “DIME” & GET A $1,000 BET RESET! BET $5 & GET $200 IN BONUS BETS!

Both teams are coming off strong performances in their previous games and will be looking to continue their winning streaks. Alabama, currently ranked as the number one team in the country, has been dominant all season. Led by star quarterback Bryce Young and a stout defense, the Crimson Tide have been blowing out opponents left and right. Their high-powered offense is averaging over 45 points per game, while their defense has been holding opponents to just 17 points per game. On the other hand, Missouri has had a solid season so far, with a record of 4-3. Led by quarterback Connor Bazelak, the Tigers have shown flashes of brilliance on offense. However, their defense has struggled at times, giving up an average of 30 points per game. In terms of predictions, it’s no surprise that Alabama is heavily favored to win this matchup. The Crimson Tide are currently listed as 21-point favorites, according to most sportsbooks. With their explosive offense and suffocating defense, it’s hard to see Missouri pulling off an upset in this game. As for picks, it’s safe to say that taking Alabama to cover the spread is a smart bet. The Crimson Tide have been covering spreads all season long and there’s no reason to think they won’t do the same against Missouri. In terms of the over/under, the total points for this game is set at 58.5. Given Alabama’s high-scoring offense, taking the over might be a good play in this matchup. Overall, Alabama vs Missouri promises to be an exciting game between two talented teams. While Missouri will put up a fight, it’s likely that Alabama will come out on top and continue their quest for a national championship.
