Texas at Alabama Preview & Picks

Alabama are tipped to cover in this big early-season clash.

The Crimson Tide have been a reliable spread pick at home in recent seasons, while Texas have struggled to cover the number on the road.

  • Alabama are 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 home games
  • Texas are 2-5-0 ATS in their last 7 games as a road betting underdog
  • The Under has hit in 5 of Alabama’s last 8 home games
  • The Under cashed when the teams met last season

Head To Head

  • Texas lead the all-time series 7-2-1
  • Alabama won 20-19 when the teams last met in September 2022

Texas Form

Texas come into this game looking to make an early statement and improve their record to 2-0.

The Longhorns finished the 2022 regular season 8-4 as they missed out on the opportunity to play in the Big 12 Championship Game.

They then came up short in the Alamo Bowl, ending a disappointing season with a 27-20 defeat to Washington.

Texas will be determined to fare better this time around, and they warmed up for this big game with a comfortable Week 1 win.

The Longhorns put up 21 unanswered points in the third quarter as they pulled away for a 37-10 win over Rice last weekend.

Alabama Form

Alabama have their sights set on returning to the College Football Playoffs this season, after missing out in 2022.

The Crimson Tide went 10-2 last time around, but defeats to #6 Tennessee and #15 LSU knocked them out of contention for the SEC Championship Game and the national crown.

They did finish the regular season in positive form though, following up a 30-24 win at #11 Ole Miss with a 34-0 shutout of Austin Peay and a 49-27 victory over Auburn.

Alabama then wrapped up the season as a whole with a 49-27 victory over Auburn in the Sugar Bowl.

The Crimson Tide picked up from where they left off as they kicked off the 2023 season, last weekend, scoring two touchdowns in each quarter as they blew out Middle Tennessee State, 56-7.

Verdict

Alabama face much tougher opposition than what they took on a week ago.

However, the Crimson Tide remain one of the most consistent forces in College Football, especially at home, so we say ‘Roll Tide’ and put your money on Nick Saban’s team.
