Alabama at Tennessee Preview & Picks

Tennessee are tipped to cover as a betting underdog at home.

Alabama have looked a shell of the team that beat Georgia, struggling on both sides of the football.

This Volunteers defense, on the other hand, has been solid and can keep their team in this matchup.

  • Tennessee are 4-2-0 ATS in their first 6 games
  • Tennessee are allowing just 10.7 points per game
  • Alabama are 1-3-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a betting favorite
  • The Under has cashed in each of Tennessee’s last 3 games

Head To Head

  • Alabama lead the all-time series 60-39-7
  • Alabama won 34-20 when the two teams last met in October 2023

Alabama Form

Alabama go into this game on the back of a win, but it has been 10 quarters since they last played well.

The Crimson Tide kicked off the season with a 63-0 shutout win over Western Kentucky, and backed that up with a 42-16 victory against South Florida.

They then went out on the road to blow out Wisconsin, 42-10, before kicking off their SEC campaign with a thrilling 41-34 win over Georgia.

Alabama failed to keep that winning run going though, as they suffered a sensational upset defeat at Vanderbilt, losing 40-35.

The Crimson Tide bounced back at the first attempt, but they were far from convincing as the held on to beat South Carolina 27-25 and improve to 5-1.

Tennessee Form

Tennessee enter this matchup on the back of a win that improved their record to 5-1 through seven weeks.

The Volunteers opened up the season with a string of convincing wins that saw them pile up a combined 191 points.

They beat Chattanooga 69-3 in their season opener, and then dominated NC State in a 54-10 victory before shutting out Kent State in a 71-0 success.

Tennessee then made it four-in-a-row with a 25-15 win at Oklahoma, only to see their perfect start then end with a shock 19-14 defeat in Arkansas.

The Volunteers rebounded last weekend though, running out 23-17 winners when they entertained Florida.
