Alabama Crimson Tide vs Tennessee Volunteers Prediction
The third Saturday in October is a historic rivalry matchup, and one that has been dominated by the Crimson Tide in recent history. The team won every game from 2007 to 2021. However, in the three years since, the Volunteers have won two of three games. Last year, they defeated Alabama 24-17.
This season, we expect it to be another close matchup. However, we favor the Crimson Tide. They are coming off three straight wins over ranked opponents (Georgia, Vanderbilt, and Missouri), and look poised to go on a run. Conversely, Tennessee does not have a win over a ranked opponent this season.
