Alabama blew several chances to beat Texas A&M last week, and I am sure that coach Nick Saban got the team's attention during practice this week. I expect a big bounce back performance on Saturday. My model says the Tide cover 60 percent of the time and win by 23, so you're getting strong value at this number.

Alabama has not played well on the road yet this season, but you rarely see the Crimson Tide put together back-to-back bad performances. Look for Bulldogs' coach Mike Leach to reach deep into his bag of tricks, but it will not matter in the end against a highly motivated and angry Alabama.
