Overview

  • Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. ET (11 a.m. CT) at Faurot Field in Columbia, with national TV coverage on ABC and streaming on the ESPN app.
  • Oddsmakers list Alabama as a slight favorite at roughly -3 to -3.5 with a moneyline near -160 to -165 and an over/under around 51.5 points.
  • Missouri enters 5-0 behind Ahmad Hardy, the FBS rushing leader (about 730 yards), and QB Beau Pribula, who tops the SEC in completion percentage.
  • Alabama leans on an efficient passing game led by Ty Simpson (70%+ completions, strong TD-to-INT numbers), while the Tide’s rushing output sits near 126.8 yards per game despite RB Jam Miller’s recent return.
  • Coverage notes list Joe Tessitore, Jesse Palmer and Katie George on the call, and previews frame the matchup as a CFP measuring stick with Alabama having won six straight in the series, including a 34-0 win in 2024.
