Alabama Favored to Cover 7-Point Spread Against No. 16 Mississippi State

Summary
Alabama is projected to beat Mississippi State and cover the spread as long as the line stays at 7 points or lower.
Keelon Russell has fueled that outlook with 685 passing yards and seven touchdowns over his last two games, giving the 4-0 Crimson Tide momentum entering a tougher stretch.
Mississippi State is also 4-0 and ranked No. 16, but its résumé is viewed as lighter despite last week's win over Missouri.
Kamario Taylor remains the Bulldogs' biggest threat with 1,192 passing yards and 14 touchdowns, though interceptions in each of the past two games have raised concerns.
The matchup opens a demanding run for No. 7 Alabama, which faces four ranked opponents in five weeks with Georgia looming next.
