Overview

• No. 8 Alabama visits No. 14 Missouri on Saturday at noon ET on ABC, the week’s marquee SEC matchup.
• Missouri enters 5-0 with a conference-best 547.6 yards per game as RB Ahmad Hardy leads the FBS with 730 rushing yards and nine TDs.
• Alabama has won four straight, including wins over Georgia and Vanderbilt, with QB Ty Simpson pacing the SEC at 1,478 passing yards, 13 TDs and one interception.
• Alabama is a small favorite (about 3 points at BetMGM), and ESPN’s Rece Davis flagged the early kickoff in Columbia as a potential trap scenario.
• Georgia plays at Auburn on ABC at 7:30 p.m. ET, with the Tigers a 3.5-point underdog seeking their first win over Georgia since 2017; separately, Auburn moved its Sept. 2026 Baylor game to Atlanta’s Mercedes‑Benz Stadium to expand NIL opportunities, with nearly 21,000 Auburn tickets allotted.
