Tennessee (5-1) comes in off a heartbreaking 45-38 loss at Texas A&M where the Volunteers fell 45-38 after coming back from 21 down. Tennessee almost orchestrated an upset at Alabama last year in Tuscaloosa but the Tide would escape the clutches of Smokey.

Alabama Crimson Tide at Tennessee Volunteers Prediction
To no surprise, much of the public fancy the Crimson Tide as they are willing to spot double-digit points to the hosts Tennessee as 60% of the consensus are with the Crimson Tide against the spread. This market has moved by 2.5 points as a result of heavy action on Bama. In Over/Under markets, the Total Line is currently resting at 57 despite opening at 60 at the off, reflecting a 3 point drop and heavy action on the under. Is there ever a better time to take Tennessee? The Volunteers are in perfect position as Tennessee enters on a loss, while the Tide continue to roll. The Crimson Tide have made it all academic and recreational at this point, as they have pummeled opponents with ease with the exception of Ole Miss. Alabama has not lost a game dating back to September 2015 and since then they have marked off eighteen in a row while capturing some serious hardware and trophies in the process. Though Alabama looks like the typical Crimson Tide we are used to seeing, everything is out the window in a rivalry game as historic as the Third Saturday of October. Throw the numbers out, this is one of Tennessee’s best teams in recent years and now we get them at home with nearly two touchdowns to protect. Banking on Alabama in a game of this magnitude is extraordinarily dangerous given the fact Tennessee is a team that has put away their arch rivals week-in and week-out this year and they did so coming from behind. In fact on two separate occasions, the Vols erased 21-point deficits and they trailed by over 10 points in every game they won this season. Tennessee is a dangerous football team and given the fact this one may be an offense oriented affair in lieu of some of the defensive struggles for both teams as of late, we will go ahead and take the over while we are at it.
Free Pick:
Take Tennessee +13 and Over 57 (KF)
