Saturday — 12:00 PM ET (SEC Network/Watch ESPN)
Alabama didn’t look like the number two team in the nation on Saturday against West Virginia, but you can chalk that up to a new quarterback and offensive coordinator.
Blake Sims started the game for Alabama, but Nick Saban said this week that the competition will remain open. That means Jake Coker should see some work against Florida Atlantic.
The Crimson Tide will use this game as a glorified scrimmage. The only question is whether nor not they’ll cover the 40 point spread.
Zach’s prediction: Alabama 45 Florida Atlantic 3

Nathanael’s prediction: Alabama 48 Florida Atlantic 10
