Alabama 34, Texas A&M 13: Texas A&M might have been able to take advantage of Alabama on the road last year, but the Crimson Tide isn't going to be as vulnerable at home. No matter who starts at quarterback for Alabama, Texas A&M doesn't have enough offensive firepower to do much of anything against the Crimson Tide defense.

Alabama 27, Texas A&M 13: Predictions in this one are a little tough not knowing the quarterback situation for either team. Take both starters out, and Alabama remains the better team, but by a much smaller margin. The Alabama defense figures to carry most of the weight here, especially if QB Bryce Young is unable to play.

Alabama 24, Texas A&M 7: No rat poison this time. Just an-old fashioned strangulation. Alabama’s defense will suffocate the Aggies as the Crimson Tide avenges last year’s defeat.

Alabama 38, Texas A&M 10: Will Bryce Young play? Won’t he? Does it matter? Probably not, because A&M’s offense is so woeful it shouldn’t muster much success against an Alabama defense that ranks among the nation’s best. If Young can’t play, expect Alabama to lean on its ground game, and that will include backup quarterback Jalen Milroe, who runs even better than Young. Getting Milroe more experience would be beneficial to Alabama long-term, and if Young has to miss a game, it falls at the right time. Jimbo Fisher talked tough in the preseason, but his team was overhyped.
