Rashaan Evans and Ta’Quon Graham are teammates on the Atlanta Falcons, but both will be keeping a close eye on the Alabama-Texas game on Saturday.
Evans starred at linebacker at Alabama before entering the league in 2018, while Graham, a defensive end, is embarking on his 2nd season in the NFL. So, naturally, the 2 made their predictions of how things would fare in Austin.
As you can see below, they engaged in some friendly smack talk.
“Are we going to y’all or you coming to us?” Evans asked.
“You coming to us,” Graham said.
“It’s really a home game regardless where we go, so it really don’t matter,” Evans cracked back.
As for the score, Graham predicted 24-17 Texas, while Evans has it 65-0 Alabama. It probably won’t quite be 65-0, but it’s fun to watch the Falcons players playfully go at it.
Kickoff between Alabama and Texas is set for noon ET on FOX.
