Woohoo, it’s annual cupcake week, though it did come a week early for Alabama this season. Instead of this game being the warm-up before the Iron Bowl, the Arkansas matchup got sandwiched in between somehow.
In any case, the New Mexico State Aggies come to town boasting a 1-8 record as one of the worst teams in FBS football. The Aggies have bounced around between the Big West, WAC, and Sunbelt conferences over the years before becoming an independent in 2018. They’ve not won more than 3 games in a season ever since. According to DraftKings sportsbook, Alabama is favored by a whopping 51.
