College Football Picks & Odds: Top 5 Best Bets Against the Spread Week 8

No. 1 Texas A&M +18.5 Over Alabama


Spread: Alabama by 18.5


Last Week: Texas A&M had a bye, Alabama won 49-10 over Tennessee


Take the Points: The Alabama line of 18.5 points seems like an overreaction to their thrashing over Tennessee. The Vols were due for a regression after early season good fortune in the second half of games. The Aggies are good and as balanced as it comes in terms of overall makeup. They have two NFL-caliber defensive ends in Myles Garrett and Daeshon Hall. The offense is humming under transfer quarterback Trevor Knight. The Aggies may not top Bama, but this will be the Crimson Tide's biggest test to date this season. Expect this SEC showdown to come down to the fourth quarter. (Getty)
