Alabama vs Tennessee Prediction
We know Tennessee can hang with the big boys when playing its best, but it’s been hit or miss lately and has failed to cover 7 of its last 10 games. One of those results was a loss at home to Kentucky as a 5.5-point favorite. Tennessee doesn’t have the defensive chops it’s had in years past. Alabama should have a field day offensively in this spot and things could get away quickly from the Vols if their current form holds true. I’m losing faith in Tennessee if we’re being honest. Give me Alabama and the reasonable number at home.
