Alabama vs Tennessee Prediction
Tennessee is a great team with an elite defense and is even tougher at home where it won 14 of 15 games. The Vols should be favored especially when they’ve won three of their last four games as a favorite. However, Alabama and free points are hard to turn down. Alabama isn’t a team that’s going to be underdogs often, and the Tide have won eight of their 10 road games. Alabama is also a profitable 16-12 ATS on the season. These are two of the better teams in the country. Whenever you can get points with either side, you should probably take it. These chances don’t come a lot and may not come the rest of the season. Give me Alabama.
