Are you looking to Roll Tide, or are you looking to bark like a Bulldog today? There is an SEC battle brewing, and you’ve got a great offer from Underdog today to enjoy the action. Alabama and Mississippi State battle, and Underdog is offering new users a chance to use promo code FOXNEWS to earn up to $100 in bonus bets on a $5 wager.
The game kicks off at 12:00 ET, and we have Alabama looking to remain perfect as they once again try to march to the College Football Playoffs. Their team has already been tested a bit against Kentucky, Florida State, and South Carolina, but this is certainly the toughest matchup of their early season.
So far, the team has done a solid job of staying composed on both sides of the ball. They haven’t scored fewer than 45 points in a game this year, but did allow 36 points to Florida State when they played two weeks ago. Quarterback Keelon Russell comes into this matchup in a position he isn’t used to — being the second-best quarterback in the game. Can he prove otherwise?

Mississippi State has come somewhat out of nowhere to be the 16th-ranked team in the country. Beating Alabama would vault them up even higher in the ranks and silence some of the naysayers. Last week, the team faced their first major test and passed by beating Missouri. They didn’t make it easy on themselves, winning 31-24, but they still should be proud of beating a ranked opponent.
The story of the early going for the Bulldogs is their quarterback, Kamario Taylor. This year has been a dream for Taylor through four games. He is racking up passing yards and already has 14 touchdowns. He does have two interceptions, but if he can protect the football and keep rolling, he may end up as a Heisman finalist.
