The Crimson Tide (7-0), who lead the SEC West, are 4-0 at home, while the Razorbacks (2-5), who are in seventh place in the division at 0-4, are winless on the road. Kickoff from Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa is set for 7 p.m. ET. The Crimson Tide are averaging 48.7 points per game, while the Razorbacks are scoring an average of 24.7. The Tide are 31.5-point favorites in a game that should be a nice walk in the park for the homecoming crowd. We have a lot going on throughout the upcoming fall months and are excited to share more.
