Aggie fans are hurting after a 42-24 blowout loss to Mississippi State, but the schedule doesn’t let up, as Texas A&M now gets to go on the road again next week, this time to face Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide. To nobody’s surprise, Alabama is a heavy favorite, currently listed at -23.5 points, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
Of course these two teams faced off under very similar circumstances in 2021, with the Aggies falling out of the polls following a loss to Mississippi State (their second loss on the season), and also following a highly publicized war of words between Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban in the offseason (last year it was the “beat his ass while he’s there” comment, this year it’s “Texas A&M bought every player).
