A pair of football seasons hit a crossroads Saturday when Alabama and Texas A&M meet to determine the early favorite for the SEC West. And thanks to the Caesars promo code LABONUS1000, new users can get a $1,000 first-bet bonus for the massive matchup.

Caesars Sportsbook promo code LABONUS1000: How to grab a $1,000 first-bet bonus for Alabama vs. Texas A&M

No. 11 Alabama and Texas A&M enter Saturday’s showdown with identical 4-1 records and matching 2-0 records in the SEC West.

Both teams encountered early season struggles. Alabama lost at home to Texas. Texas A&M gave up 48 points in a disappointing loss to Miami. However, after two straight wins by both teams, the mojo and momentum are drastically different.

But something is about to change on Saturday.

A loss squashes all the good vibes in a matter of hours. And with so much at stake, it’s the perfect time to get started at Caesars Sportsbook.

Caesars Sportsbook promo code: Alabama-Texas A&M betting odds, preview, and best Caesars promotions

Alabama’s offense has found some life in the last few weeks, shaking off the sluggishness that plagued the early season. The Crimson Tide scored 40 points in a win against Mississippi State last week (40-17) and scored 24 with a balanced offensive attack in a victory over Ole Miss (24-10).

Alabama will face a tougher test against one of the best defenses in the country. Texas A&M is tied for third with 20 sacks on the season. The Aggies are also fifth in the country in yards allowed per game (253.8).

On offense, Texas A&M is tied for 20th, averaging 38.6 points per game.

It all adds up to an intriguing game that will play a critical role in the SEC West standings. And with a legendary Texas A&M crowd inside the stadium – “the 12th Man” – the excitement will be peaking at kickoff.

Caesars has Alabama listed as 1.5-point road favorites on Saturday. The game’s over/under is set at 46.5 points.

Television coverage will air at 3:30 p.m. on CBS.
