The favorite has dominated the number when the Alabama Crimson Tide and Tennessee Volunteers meet as they have covered the spread in 7 of their last 9 meetings. Surprisingly these two teams play in the same conference, but they are two opposite teams as the Crimson Tide are one of the top overall teams in college football while Tennessee lost to Georgia State to open the season. The Tennessee defense put on a nice display against Mississippi State, but Alabama is a significantly better offense as they are scoring an average of 51 PPG which is 2nd in college football. Tennessee has had a revolving door at QB as Guarantano and Mauer are combining for 10 TDs and 8 interceptions which will be a problem against the Crimson Tide. Final Score Prediction, Alabama Crimson Tide win and cover ATS 49-7.
