Updated ESPN FPI prediction for Texas A&M vs. No. 13 Alabama
Here is the updated ESPN FPI prediction for Texas A&M vs. Alabama on Saturday.
Texas A&M, currently sitting at 4-3 and 1-3 in the SEC, will visit No. 13 Alabama, a team rated at 5-2 and 2-2 in the SEC, on Saturday in Tuscaloosa. This rematch from the 2022 season could prove to be an unusual upset, given the recent spate of defeats in SEC play. Last week, Texas, Georgia, and Alabama experienced losses on the same weekend, which could have contributed to the anticipation surrounding this matchup.
Texas A&M's offense has been inconsistent, missing the mark in several road games, notably against LSU and Missouri, with starting quarterback Marcel Reed's passing accuracy declining after a strong 2022 season. Alabama, on the other hand, has recently bounced back from a two-game losing streak to Georgia and Tennessee, aiming to make a strong impression against the Aggies.
Texas A&M enters this game as a 15.5-point underdog, with their point spread now at 14. Despite the underdog status, the Aggies' defense, ranked 10th in the nation, could potentially disrupt Alabama's offense, as Alabama's offensive line has allowed three sacks per game, ranking 129th nationwide. ESPN's FPI currently puts Texas A&M's chances of victory at 16.1%.
The game is set to begin at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and will be broadcast on ABC. For real-time updates, follow Aggies Wire on X (formerly Twitter) and like their Facebook page.
