Alabama's Crimson Tide are bracing for a massive road test against the No. 14 Missouri Tigers – potentially their toughest challenge of the season so far. Missouri, quarterbacked by the ruthlessly efficient Beau Pribula (a threat both passing and running), and powered by star running back Ahmad Hardy, poses a SERIOUS problem for the Tide. This matchup looks tricky for Bama, and with just a slim 3.5-point spread, many are betting on a Missouri upset. While all the factors above are concerning, maybe the biggest worry is Missouri's dominance at home. You won't believe it, but Missouri is TIED with Alabama for the second-longest home winning streak in the country at 15 games – undefeated at home since 2023, just like the Tide! Head coach Eli Drinkwitz has turned the Tigers into a force to be reckoned with, especially at home, even during seasons where they weren't quite as strong. A win this weekend puts Alabama one step closer to having the longest home winning streak in college football. For Missouri, this is their biggest test yet. Something's gotta give on Saturday, and Bama fans are praying that streak dies instead of extending to 16 and taking sole possession of second place.Tide Roll into Hostile Territory: Missouri Showdown Looms!
