The current betting odds have Alabama listed as a 13.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Alabama has looked good in their games this season with their 5-2 record overall, but they are 2-2 in their conference games and have been struggling against SEC opponents. They are coming off another loss in their last one, losing on the road to Tennessee, but they have looked a lot better in their home games with their 4-0 home record and they will be looking to bounce back in a big way. Meanwhile, Missouri has looked really good in their games this season with their 6-1 record overall and their 2-1 conference record, but they have also played a lot of their games at home this season. They have only played 2 road games and they are 1-1 in their road games this season. The 1 road loss was also in the SEC to Texas A&M, a game they got blown out in. They also struggled last week to beat Auburn at home and this is going to be one of their toughest road games of the season against an Alabama team that will be looking to bounce back at home. Alabama has struggled more on the road lately, but they will put up points at home and this Mizzou offense hasn't been putting up a ton of points themselves lately. The best way to place a bet here is on Alabama to cover the spread in this game.
