Alabama is 5-0 and is set to be a favorite as it heads to Kyle Field to take on Texas A&M on Saturday. The Aggies will be looking to reverse course after losses to Arkansas and Mississippi State on their ledger.

An upset win for Jimbo Fisher’s team, though, will provide an opening for several teams in the SEC West race and dent the Crimson Tide’s College Football Playoff chances. And while the Tide are expected to come away with a win in this one, Nick Saban isn’t a coach to leave anything to chance, regardless of the opponent.

“I think this is a dangerous team, and I think this is a little bit of a trap game for us,” Saban said on Thursday.

If anything, Saban added, the Aggies may come in with a little desperation and urgency with back-to-back losses in the rearview mirror.

Saban is sure to have his team motivated right out of the gate against a struggling Aggies team. Kickoff from College Station is set for 8:00 p.m. on CBS.
