Aggies vs Crimson Tide Injury Update
When top-ranked Alabama plays Texas A&M on Saturday, they might be without their most potent offensive weapon.
Bryce Young, the quarterback for the Crimson Tide and the current Heisman Trophy winner, was forced to leave the game prematurely. He did so after two drives in the first half of Alabama's 49-26 victory over Arkansas on Saturday due to a shoulder injury.
Aggies vs Crimson Tide Best Picks and Prediction
Texas A&M's offense ranks among the bottom ten among Power Five teams. However, the coach who set up Zach Calzada for success against a tough Alabama defense should get more than 13-14 points for the Aggies in the implied score of the point spread and total — 38-14 based on Alabama-24 and a 48 over/under.
Alabama should score at least 40 points in this game, irrespective of Bryce Young being included. Although it may be close, a high-scoring game could be in the offing.
Prediction: Over 48 (-110)
