Alabama better make sure they haven’t approached their game against Missouri this weekend like the rest of the nation.
Most folks have already marked this game down as a win for the Crimson Tide. And while I’m inclined to agree about that likely outcome, the game still must be played.
Missouri hasn’t received any respect this season, despite winning the SEC East for the second straight season. The Tigers are playing their best football of the season right now and should be considered a bigger threat against Alabama than you think.
Zach’s prediction: Alabama 38 Missouri 27
Tom’s prediction: Alabama 40 Missouri 17
Nathanael’s prediction: Alabama 37 Missouri 17
