Alabama vs Mercer predictions

No. 9 Alabama 42, Mercer 6: Alabama has been clicking defensively, a unit that has forced six takeaways and one touchdown in its past two games against SEC opponents. The Crimson Tide really didn’t need the passing game against LSU, one where Jalen Milroe shined and the Crimson Tide dominated. Alabama’s final non-conference game of the season should go without a hitch, and include game film for many second- and third-string players by its end.
