Missouri Tigers vs Alabama Crimson Tide Prediction & Picks - NCAA

Prediction published on 10/11/25, 8:14 AM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 10/15/25 at 8:12 AM in NCAA Picks

The No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide will try to stay undefeated in conference play when they travel to Columbia to take on the No. 14 Missouri Tigers. Kickoff at Memorial Stadium is scheduled for 12 p.m. EST, and the game will be broadcast on ABC.

Alabama’s season didn’t get off the kind of start that fans are accustomed to with a 31-17 loss to Florida State.  But the team has since bounced back with four wins in a row, including victories over No. 5 Georgia and a 30-14 win over No. 16 Vanderbilt. It certainly isn’t the kind of Alabama team we usually see. The run game is almost an afterthought (No. 103, 126.8 yards per game). Instead, the Tide have become one of the best passing teams in the nation (No. 5 in passing yards and No. 10 in passing efficiency). Missouri, on the other hand, is one of the top rushing teams in the country, averaging almost 30 yards a game on the ground and averaging 45 points per game. The Tigers are even better on the defensive side of the ball (No. 2 in total defense, No. 2 against the run, and No. 10 against the pass).
