Missouri at Alabama odds: Early point spread released, How to Watch
As the college football season continues, the Missouri Tigers will travel to Tuscaloosa in Week 9 to face the Alabama Crimson Tide in a SEC clash.
Ahead of the showdown, FanDuel Sportsbook has released the early point spread for the showdown, and the Crimson Tide are favored by 13.5 points at the moment. Additionally, the over/under has been set at 54.5 points for the conference battle.
This will be the eighth time Missouri and Alabama face off. The rivalry dates back to 1968, where the Tigers won their first clash in the Gator Bowl. These two teams have also met in the SEC Championship Game, which happened in 2014, a 42-13 victory for the Crimson Tide.
It’s been awhile since the Tigers could claim victory over the Crimson Tide though. Alabama has won each matchup dating back to 1978, and they possess a 5-2 record over Missouri, after the Tigers won the first two games in their series. Missouri will be looking to buck that trend in 2024.
Alas, if we’ve learned anything in 2024, it’s that nothing is off the table inside the SEC. When Missouri and Alabama face off in Week 9, you can throw history out the window for what could be a wild game in Tuscaloosa.

McElroy has been covering college football since 2014, and played in it as a quarterback at Alabama under Nick Saban before that. According to McElroy, this is the most interesting the conference been in a long time.
“This is the craziest version of the SEC I’ve ever covered,” McElroy said. “I have been in this business since 2014 and in the SEC, there was a very clear and obvious pecking order for a very long time. Okay, Vanderbilt was the bottom. Alabama was at the top for a vast majority, and then there for a little bit, like, maybe you had Georgia who was right there neck and neck.
“None of the middle of the SEC were capable of knocking off the top teams. None of the bottom of the SEC was capable of knocking off any of the top teams. Like that wasn’t going to happen. No way. No way whatsoever. Well, y’all that’s changed nowadays, this year in particular.”
McElroy continued: “I’m telling you, man, the parity that I’ve seen in the SEC this year — I think it’s the craziest version of the SEC. I think it’s the deepest version of the SEC. And right now, the top of the SEC, outside of Texas, there is a little bit of uncertainty. So I’m feeling that we’ve had some upsets already, but we are poised to have a whole bunch for as the season continues to move forward.”
One thing is for sure, whoever does end up at the top when the season is over in the SEC, they’ll certainly have earned their position.
