Here, we break down Alabama vs Vanderbilt, as the Crimson Tide look to build on a memorable victory in their last game against Georgia.

Can Alabama Build On Georgia Win?

Last week, the Alabama Crimson Tide won a memorable game at home against the Georgia Bulldogs. Alabama led that game by a huge margin in the first half but relinquished their lead late, needing a late touchdown to come away with the victory in the final minutes. This week, Alabama will hope for a more straightforward win against Vandy. They will also hope that the Heisman Trophy campaigns for quarterback Jalen Milroe and wide receiver Ryan Williams will continue, after both men had huge games against Georgia.

Vanderbilt Determined to Pull Upset

Vanderbilt lost their last game in heartbreaking fashion, losing in two overtimes to Missouri on the road. That was the second straight road loss for the Commodores, who have dropped to 2-2 overall and 0-1 in conference play. The Commodores will look to bounce back after a bye this week, but that will be a tough ask as they face an Alabama team that is ranked number one in the country. If Vandy is going to keep this game close, they are going to need Diego Pavia to ball out, as his ability to extend plays and improvise could be what keeps them in this contest.

Alabama vs Vanderbilt Best Bet

Alabama should have no problem winning this Alabama vs Vanderbilt matchup in the SEC. But we are going to take the points with Vanderbilt in this matchup at home. While they aren't likely to win the game, Pavia's ability to make explosive plays off-schedule should help Vandy score, while Alabama could have a letdown after their wild win over Georgia a week ago.
