ALA @ TENN Picks
NCAAF PicksAlabama's offense is one of the best in the country, and I'd take the Tide to hit the Over on their team total at 30.5 or better. Keelon Russell has put up an 80.9+ QBR in four straight games while accounting for 14 TDs. He's going to be a problem for a Tennessee defense that's susceptible to the pass. The Vols' defense ranks 70th in pass success rate (43.9%).
I like the Over at 51.5 or better, primarily because of Alabama's offense. Keelon Russell ranks third nationally in QBR (90.0) and has the Tide ranked No. 18 in the country in pass success rate (51.6%). But Tennessee's run game should help the Over hit, too. DeSean Bishop is top 10 nationally in rushing yards after contact (465) and runs of 10+ yards (18). He should help the Vols score 20+.
I like Alabama to cover up to -9.5 because of Tennessee's QB issue. The Crimson Tide are averaging 40 points per game against P4 defenses ranked outside the top five by SP+. Tennessee just struggled to score against an Arkansas defense that allowed 34+ to Utah, Georgia, and Texas A&M.

Coming off its loss to Georgia, I'm expecting Alabama to come out swinging against Tennessee. The Volunteers are starting George MacIntyre at QB, who had a 10.3 QBR in his first start last week against a bad Arkansas team. The Crimson Tide's pass rush should give him hell early and force mistakes. Keelon Russell's dual-threat will be a problem for Tennessee's defense.
