Last week Alabama was in a College Football betting revenge showdown. Both between the teams and the coaches. Although they play nice in public, the bond between coaches Nick Saban of Alabama and Jimbo Fisher of Texas A&M is broken, perhaps permanently. Additionally, Bama suffered an upset loss to the Aggies in 2021. Fisher became the only former Saban assistant to beat his mentor as coach of Alabama. Last week the Crimson Tide barely held on against the Aggies. This week Alabama takes on a historic rival on a date that looks quite dangerous.
