Alabama Football Texas A&M Bold Prediction No. 1

The Aggies are a disappointing 3-2, but their problems are not on defense. In five games, Mike Elko’s defense has given up just seven touchdowns; two rushing scores and five passing touchdowns, for an average of 2.4 touchdowns per game.

Prediction: The Alabama Crimson Tide offense will score four or more TDs on the Aggies.

Alabama Crimson Tide Bold Prediction No. 2

Mike Elko coaches the best defense the Crimson Tide has played this season. The Aggies will have the benefit of an always committed Kyle Field crowd attempting to make the Tide offense perform during a deafening roar. There is no guarantee the crowd will not have an impact, but it will not be enough.

Prediction: The Tide will score points well into the 30s, setting a new FBS record of 32 consecutive games scoring more than 30 points per game.

Bold Prediction No. 3

The Florida crowd was very disruptive to the Crimson Tide offense. Having spent more time preparing for silent counts, the Crimson Tide will commit two, or fewer false start penalties in the loud environment of Kyle Field.
