The experts in Las Vegas are expecting a cake walk for the Crimson Tide. No. 15 Alabama opened as a 14.5-point favortie over No. 21 Missouri for this weekend's matchup. That line continues to grow, as the Tigers could be without starting quarterback Brady Cook and starting running back, who are both listed as doubtful after suffering injuries last week.
Still, Alabama (5-2, 2-2 in the SEC) has no room for overconfidence. The Tide is coming off its earliest second loss since the 2007 season and will now likely have to win out in order to advance to this year's 12-team College Football Playoff.
And while Missouri (6-1, 2-1) enters Saturday's matchup as two-score underdogs, the Tigers present a few scary matchups for the Tide.
Here are a few statistics that could give Alabama a few chills a week before Halloween.
