Why Tennessee football is a great bet vs Alabama and other SEC picks
Alabama is favored by 7.5 points against Tennessee at Neyland Stadium. The last time Alabama was a double-digit favorite over Tennessee was in 2007. Alabama has won 15 straight games against the Vols. Tennessee has ended losing streaks to Pittsburgh, Florida and LSU this season.
Josh Heupel's up-tempo, spread offense is the right system to beat Alabama.
LSU beat Tennessee 40-13 last week. Florida beat Missouri. Last week, LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels passed for 300 yards, but Florida's Anthony Richardson completed just eight of 14 passes for 68 yards.
Halfway through the season, I've lost interest in both teams.
Ole Miss beats Auburn 34-17. Tank Bigsby should be second-guessing himself for not transferring. Gus Malzahn was fired by the boosters.
Vanderbilt has lost 24 straight conference games. The Commodores last won a conference game on October 19, 2013.
Mississippi State beats Kentucky 27-7. Mark Stoops apologized for his team's performance against South Carolina. Kentucky had six consecutive losing seasons from 2010 to 2015.
BYU beats Arkansas 20-27 in a nonconference game in Provo, Utah. Arkansas has lost back-to-back games to Texas A&M and Mississippi State.
