Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Tennessee Volunteers Key Stats

Tennessee's senior QB Hendon Hooker has had an excellent year thus far, tallying 1,432 passing yards to go with ten touchdowns and no picks. His main receivers, Jalin Hyatt and Bru McCoy, have already combined for over 700 receiving yards, so look for them to cause havoc once again. Alabama has fared better against the run, but their defense as a whole is arguably one of the best in the nation. Last week, they did allow Texas A&M to hang around, though, so we'll see if the Volunteers can have similar success.

Not only does Tennessee excel through the air, but they have a very balanced running attack. Collectively, they average 4.7 yards per carry, mainly due to running backs Jaylen Wright and Jabari Small, as well as Hooker. Overall, the Volunteers lead the country in total yards, so we'll see if they can keep rolling against what will be the best defense they've seen all year.

Alabama's Bryce Young is dealing with a shoulder injury, but he's expected to play Saturday. Young ranks ninth in the SEC in passing yards, second in passing touchdowns, and third in passer rating. This year, Jahmy Gibbs has broken out, as the junior running back leads the country in yards per carry at 8.3. The Volunteers defense he'll be matched up with has one of the best run defenses around, so Gibbs' production will be key to Alabama notching their seventh win.

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Tennessee Volunteers Betting Prediction

This matchup features two of the very best teams in the country, and it's rare we see two top-six schools squaring off this early in the season. As dominant as Alabama has been, they haven't been tested too much, and this is the first game all year where they're favored by under ten points. Tennessee's defense, especially on the ground, has been great, so expect the Crimson Tide to stay under 38 points, as they scored just 24 last week versus a slightly weaker defense.

Prediction: Alabama Team Total Under 37.5 Points (-115)
