Missouri vs Alabama Pick & Prediction | CFB Expert Picks For 10/26/24

In the SEC on Saturday, Missouri and Alabama will face off in a game between teams that can’t afford a loss. Alabama enters this contest in the SEC as a 13.5-point favorite as they look to bounce back from a loss in their latest major test in conference play. Will the Tide roll again, or will Missouri prolong Alabama’s recent struggles? We attempt to answer that with our college football best bets for Missouri vs Alabama.

Missouri Still Looking to Pass First Real Road Test

This season, the Missouri Tigers are 6-1 overall and 2-1 in the SEC. The Tigers have largely run up their win total against the weaker teams in their schedule, while their lone loss of the year came on the road against Texas A&M in what was by far their toughest game so far. Here, Missouri will look to prove that they can contend with another very good team, something they haven’t done yet this year. If that is going to happen, Missouri needs to find a way to get chunk plays from their passing game, which has not been a given against quality competition.

Alabama Has to Bounce Back From Another Defeat

Alabama has lost two of its last three games to drop to 5-2 overall and 2-2 in the SEC. The Crimson Tide are in eighth place in the SEC standings going into this week and they need to essentially win out to have any real shot of ending up in the SEC Championship Game. As far as this game goes, the big question for Alabama will be whether or not Jalen Milroe can avoid committing the kinds of turnovers that have killed his team at inopportune times, like the interceptions that ruined their chances against Tennessee in their most recent outing.

Missouri vs Alabama Matchup History

Dating back to 1968, Missouri and Alabama have played seven college football games against one another. In those seven games, Alabama has won five times, including all four of the games contested by these teams from 2012 to now. The Crimson Tide is favored to extend their winning streak over Missouri, but Mizzou will look to end that streak by pulling off a major upset here.

Missouri vs Alabama Best Bet

Our best bet for Missouri vs Alabama is for the Alabama Crimson Tide to win and cover the spread as a heavy favorite at home. While Alabama certainly has its flaws that they need to address, they should be able to bounce back nicely here against a Missouri team that is nowhere near as good as their record would indicate. Missouri will struggle against a tough opponent on the road for the second time in as many chances, to the benefit of Kalen DeBoer’s team.
