ESPN FPI predicts Texas A&M vs. No. 13 Alabama in Week 8
ESPN FPI gives Texas A&M a 16.5% chance to pull off the upset over Alabama on the road in Week 8.
Texas A&M secured a dominant shutout victory over The Citadel in Week 7, with sophomore running back Jamarion Morrow contributing 264 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Freshman KJ Edwards added 116 rushing yards. Quarterback Marcel Reed is expected to continue as the starter. Defensively, Texas A&M focused on stopping the run, allowing just 140 yards on the ground.
In the SEC, a tumultuous week saw top-ranked Georgia, 7th Texas, and Texas A&M's opponent Alabama all suffer losses, causing a major shakeup in both the US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25. Texas A&M prepares to host Alabama for the first time since 2022. The Aggies are 15.5-point underdogs, with ESPN FPI giving them a 16.5% chance to win.
