Alabama is off their big road victory over the Bulldogs. Vanderbilt upset the Crimson Tide last season and they for sure had this game circle. However, are we sure that Alabama has their mojo back? Their running game isn’t what it used to be, and the Commodores are averaging almost 500 yards of offense. Diego Pavia is also 15-4 ATS as an underdog.

Having watched an SEC that already looks topsy-turvy exiting September, it's too soon for Bama fans to make playoff plans after the Georgia win. The revenge angle vs. Vandy is present after the Dores scored that 40-35 shocker last season that wasn't a fluke, controlling the ball for 42 minutes as Diego Pavia continued to fluster the Bama defense. Wny Bama revenge, anyway, when Vandy hadn't beaten the Tide for 40 years prior? We'ree convinced the Dores aren't out of the depth, citing their 10-2 spread mark as a dog with Pavia, and roster upgrades courtesy shrewd Football GM Barton Simmons, whose expertise in the portal has upped the talent quotient on Clark lea's roster to levels they haven't seen in Music City. Play Vanderbilt

This was the upset of the year last season, as Alabama went into Nashville and took a huge upset loss to Vanderbilt. The Commodores are even better this season, but they won't sneak up on the Crimson Tide. What gives me confidence in Bama this time around is how well they are playing on offense and it's been good to see the defense come around as well. Expect them to not sleepwalk through a game Vandy squad this year.
