Alabama needs to defeat the formidable Missouri Tigers this Saturday if they hope to resume winning. The Crimson Tide and Tigers have only met four times since Missouri officially joined the SEC in 2012, so Alabama might not be as familiar with them as some other SEC teams. But throughout the history of their series, Alabama owns a 5-2 record against Missouri, with all five wins coming in their most recent encounters. Whereas Missouri’s victory total was just two. Therefore, it is anticipated that the Tigers will be desperate to defeat Alabama this time. Otherwise, Alabama will keep winning. Anything is possible. But there will always be game commentary.

ABC will broadcast the Alabama vs. Missouri game at 2:45 p.m. CT. Back in August, ESPN said that the No. 3 combo of Tessitore and Palmer would call the weekly 2:30 “SEC on ABC” game as a result of its new ten-year media rights agreement with the SEC. Hence, following this matchup, this season, Tessitore will make his third trip to Tuscaloosa, but this time, Palmer will not accompany him. Jordan Rodgers, Joe Tessitore, and Katie George, a sideline reporter, will call the game on Saturday. If you remember, you were part of this team when Alabama defeated South Florida 42-16 and the Tide defeated South Carolina 27-25. “Again!”

As anchor of Top Rank Boxing and the primary commentator for ESPN’s boxing coverage, Tessitore is a well-known figure in the sports industry. He founded the annual Sportscasters’ Superball for CF Research as well. Jordan Rodgers will join him this week, contributing his own quarterbacking experience to the show.

In addition to playing in the CFL, Jordan Rodgers, the brother of quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Jaguars. He is a well-known sports expert and television personality now, which makes him ideal for this thrilling game. You can expect a fun experience with Tessitore and Rodgers calling the game. No doubt!

However, before indulging in the game, take a moment to glimpse at what the analysts say, their somber words casting a shadow over the anticipated matchup.

Analysts on Alabama vs. Missouri

As they prepare to play the #1 Tigers at home, Kalen DeBoer’s Alabama hopes to avoid falling below .500 in conference games. After losing to Tennessee last week, the squad is at 2-2 in SEC play. However, even though Missouri improved to 2-1 in the league, defeating Alabama required a remarkable comeback. Because Missouri outscored the Tigers 161–52 overall and has a 0–4 record against Alabama since joining the SEC in 2012. Calculations also give Alabama an upper hand against the Tigers.

The latest computer simulations of the game suggest that Alabama will win by a landslide 82.5 per cent. In the remaining 17.5% of simulations, Missouri is the predicted winner. Additionally, based on the FPI’s calculations, Alabama has a 44.5% chance of making it to the CFB playoff. The Alabama will win 9.2 games this season, based on that model. Missouri sits ninth in league with a 16 per cent probability of qualifying for the 12-team playoffs. This is merely a prediction; the outcome of the match will be entirely determined by the performance of the day. So, watch the game on Saturday to see who wins.
