Alabama vs Tennessee

• Location: Neyland Stadium (Knoxville, Tennessee) | Time: 3:30 PM ET
• Where to Watch: ABC/ESPN+
• Spread: Alabama -3.5, Moneyline: Alabama -150, Total: 56.5

Alabama vs Tennessee Best Bet: Alabama ML -150

The Crimson Tide fell to unranked Vanderbilt and nearly lost to unranked South Carolina in back-to-back weeks. If Alabama hopes to convince the committee they’re still a top team in the hunt for the National Championship, there’s no better way than to do it with a road win against a tough Tennessee squad. This game could go down to the wire, but Bama manages to find a way to win over their in-conference foes.

Alabama vs Tennessee Best Total Bet: Over 56.5

Both offenses have the firepower to put points on the board quickly. In what could be a shootout, the score could easily pass over the 56.5 set total. If both teams get off to a solid first half, a final score of 37-30 seems like a likely outcome in this high-stakes battle.

Alabama Best Player Bet: Jalen Milroe 2+ Passing Touchdowns +116

Jalen Milroe is one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in college football, mainly due to his ability to use his legs to extend plays and explode for massive runs. Despite that, the dual-threat QB is one of the more underrated passers in the nation. In a game where the Vols likely try to eliminate the rushing offense from Bama, Milroe could be forced to pass the ball more, which offensive guru Kalen DeBoer may benefit from with his aggressive play calling.

Tennessee Best Player Bet: Dylan Sampson First Touchdown Scorer +330

Dylan Sampson may be the biggest playmaker in the Tennessee offense. The running back can break any run off for a touchdown, which puts pressure on opposing defenses. With the Vols looking to set the tone early, Josh Heupel could rely on Sampson to get into the endzone first.
