Alabama Survived Another Scare Last Week

After cruising to a 3-0 SU and ATS record over their previous three games, the Crimson Tide had another close call last Saturday at home against the Texas A&M Aggies. Alabama never led by more than 10 in the game despite closing as a 24.5-point favorite, and Texas A&M’s final play of the game came at Alabama’s two-yard line. The Crimson Tide survived with a 24-20 win to keep their perfect record intact.

Jalen Milroe went 12-for-19 with 111 passing yards and three passing touchdowns while adding 83 rushing yards on 17 carries in the win. He also turned the ball over three times, losing two fumbles and throwing an interception. Milroe was filling in for Bryce Young, who missed the game with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return this week against Tennessee.

Tennessee’s Offense Is On A Roll With Hendon Hooker

Hendon Hooker completed 17 of his 27 pass attempts for 239 yards and two touchdown passes and also added 56 rushing yards on 10 carries in Tennessee’s 40-13 road win over the LSU Tigers on Sunday. Jabari Small also had a big day on offense with 127 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns on 22 carries. The Volunteers were only 2.5-point road favorites in the blowout win.

Tennessee is now 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS this season with an average margin of victory of 29 points per game. Dating back to last season, the Volunteers have scored at least 34 points in each of their last eight games and are averaging 48 points per game over that stretch. That run includes a 5-0 SU and 3-2 ATS record at home.

Alabama: Keys To Victory

Getting Bryce Young back for this game would obviously help Alabama’s chances of winning and covering quite a bit. But with or without him, it’s safe to assume that the Crimson Tide are going to need to generate more offense and turn the ball over less than they did against Texas A&M to earn the win as an Alabama vs Tennessee prediction.

Tennessee: Keys To Victory

Last season, the Volunteers lost to the Crimson Tide 52-24 in Alabama. Tennessee’s offense has been on a nice roll of late, but the defense is going to have to step up and do a better job against Alabama if Tennessee hopes to get the job done as an Alabama vs Tennessee pick at home.
