Alabama vs Tennessee Prediction
Last time out, Alabama hosted the Texas A&M Aggies and held on for a 24-20 win. It was a scoreless first quarter, but things popped off in the second quarter as Alabama took a 17-14 advantage into the half. Alabama scored the only touchdown of the second half and that was all they needed to get the four-point win. Jalen Milroe went 12/19 for 111 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception on the night. Three different Alabama receivers hauled in a touchdown pass. Defensively, Alabama 323 total yards and forced one A&M interception.

Tennessee led 23-7 at the half and left no doubt about the blowout when they took a 37-7 advantage into the fourth quarter. Total domination by the Vols.

Series History: Alabama has won 15 consecutive meetings, dating back to 2007, and lead the all-time series 58-38-7.
Pick: I think Tennessee has some magic this year and they could win this game. I am going to be safe and take the Vols to cover the spread. For more free college football predictions visit the NCAAFB betting section.
