I don't feel that Texas A&M has enough talent on defense (other than Myles Garrett) to stop Derrick Henry and Alabama's running game. Garrett has been great this year, but has a tendency to run himself out of the play. Texas A&M's running game will be a non-factor and Kyle Allen isn't the type of QB that Alabama has difficulty defending. Alabama's front 7 is the strength of it's team. The secondary has received some criticism, but they have 5* athletes back there. Alabama's defense will make it difficult for Kyle Allen to get the ball to Christian Kirk and Ricky Seals-Jones.
Alabama covers the 4.5.
