Alabama Crimson Tide vs Tennessee Volunteers prediction
The Tennessee Volunteers are the better team thanks to their defense, and they’re getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home. However, the Alabama Crimson Tide are on a roll at the moment and that offense is looking pretty good. Alabama has had some success on the road and is 10-7 ATS on the season. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Tide are able to steal this game outright. Give me Alabama and the free buckets.
