The No. 2 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide will look to avoid a letdown after a big win when they head out on the road to play the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday afternoon.
Alabama is coming off a 41-24 victory over the Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia led at halftime, but the Crimson Tide clamped down and did not allow the Bulldogs to score in the second half. Alabama’s high-powered offense continued its impressive season with Mac Jones throwing 417 yards and four touchdowns. Devonta Smith caught 11 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns, and Jaylen Waddle added 161 receiving yards with a score. On the ground, Najee Harris rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown.
Tennessee’s hyped up offseason has taken a turn with a 34-7 blowout loss to the Kentucky Wildcats for its second consecutive loss. Jarrett Guarantano struggled with three turnovers including two interceptions and a fumble. He threw for just 88 yards and completed 14 of 21 passes. Eric Gray rushed for 128 yards on 24 carries. Ty Chandler rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown. The Volunteers will look to get back over .500 on the season.
Alabama won the last 13 games of this series including a 35-13 victory on the road in 2019.

The Best Bet
These numbers seem just about perfect, and without the hook added later in the week we’d just throw this in the trash all-together. Tennessee can control the clock with one of the best offensive lines in the country, and that’ll be enough to keep them from getting steamrolled by more than three TD’s.
Pick: Tennessee +21.5
