I'm going with the underdog here, as Tennessee is a big value side as the spread approaches two touchdowns. I think the steam on Alabama is a bit of an overreaction to what we saw last week, as many appear to believe the "luck" has run out for the Vols and they will get crushed by the Crimson Tide. Even though, like most Alabama opponents, they will be physically overmatched, Joshua Dobbs and friends have too many dangerous playmakers to be counted out of this one. I think they take Alabama to the wire.
The top-ranked Crimson Tide rank 11th nationally in scoring defense (15.8), and I see them keeping this score lower than expected. I'm projecting a 28-19 Alabama win, which gives us 11 points of cushion below this total. Look for the Under to improve to 8-3 in Alabama's last 11 October games.
