College Football 2018: Will upsets take center stage in Week 11?
1. Mississippi State at Alabama
3:30 p.m. ET on CBS has been the home of showcase SEC games since I can remember. Week 11’s CBS 3:30 ball game will be no different as Alabama hosts MSU in a battle of top-25 teams. The Bulldogs are 6-3 and ranked 11th per the S&P+ while the Tide are 9-0 and ranked number one in every single poll on mother earth.
The Bulldogs can upset the Tide if Nick Fitzgerald can limit his turnovers and get production from his arm as well as his legs. Fitzgerald has scored 19 total touchdowns in 2018 while throwing seven interceptions. If Fitzgerald plays against Nick Saban’s defense like he did against Jimbo Fisher’s and Texas A&M the Bulldogs can give Alabama a scare. Fitzgerald scored four touchdowns without an interception in Week 9 against the Aggies. He definitely can’t play like he did against the LSU Tigers and throw four interceptions in a losing effort.

The Tide have to keep Tua Tagovailoa upright and healthy to roll MSU like they did LSU in Week 10. Tagovailoa has thrown 27 touchdowns with only one interception and has ran in three more scores in 2018. Tagovailoa has been everything pundits and fans expected him to be and more. The Tide are undefeated and looking at another national championship in their sights.
Prediction: Alabama by 20
