Tennessee Form

Tennessee head to Alabama looking to make it four wins in a row and claim their first win over a ranked team this season.

The Volunteers kicked off the season with a 45-26 win over Syracuse, and backed that up by blowing out East Tennessee State 72-17.

They failed to make it three-in-a-row in their opening conference game though, as they were beaten at home by Georgia, 44-41.

Tennessee rebounded immediately though, beating UAB 56-24 on the road, and then registered their first SEC win of the season as they won 41-34 at Mississippi State.

The Volunteers backed that up with another conference win last weekend, as they beat Arkansas 34-31 to improve to 5-1.

Alabama Form

Alabama enter this matchup having rebounded from the shock opening-day defeat with a five-game win streak.

The Crimson Tide entered the season as a top-10 team in the AP rankings, but immediately slipped from that position as they lost 31-17 at Florida State.

They rebounded emphatically a week later to shut out UL-Monroe, 73-0, and then downed another non-conference rivals as they beat Wisconsin 38-14.

That sent Alabama into a run of four straight games against ranked SEC opposition with some momentum, and they have kept the ball rolling so far.

The Crimson Tide downed Georgia 24-21 on the road, beat Vanderbilt 30-14 at home, and then went back out on the road to fend off Missouri, 27-24.

Verdict

Alabama have momentum on their side, and they have won and covered routinely when hosting Tennessee in recent years.

For those reasons we backing the Crimson Tide to deliver in this big SEC showdown.
