NCAA Betting Total Odds: O/U 67
Two teams from the SEC will be facing off when the Tennessee Volunteers visit the Alabama Crimson Tide.
The Vols are coming off of a loss in week 7 and the Tide are coming off of a win.
I have seen the spread get as high as Alabama -27, but that number has dropped down to -25. The total has stayed pretty much at 67 points.
Tennessee Volunteers
Tennessee has had a solid season so far. They are not a top team in the SEC, but they are also not toward the bottom either.
The Vols lost last week to the Ole Miss Rebels 31-26. They had opportunities to win that game, but they ultimately fell just short. It was a very good game to watch.
Quarterback Hendon Hooker went 17/26 for 233 yards and 1 touchdown in the loss to the Rebels. He also ran the ball 23 times for 108 yards.
Last Saturday, Jabari Small was the leading rusher with 21 carries for 92 yards. Wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. also had a big day as well. He had 6 receptions for 93 yards. I am sure both of these guys will get lots of touches in the game against Alabama.
The defense did a pretty good job against the Rebels. Ole Miss has a very explosive offense and I think the Vols did a good job of containing them. They will once again be tested when they have to go against the offense of Alabama.
Alabama Crimson Tide
The #4 team in the nation has played very well so far this year. They did a good job of bouncing back after that tough loss to the Aggies.
Last week, Alabama easily covered as 17 point favorites against Mississippi State. They walked away with a 49-9 win. They did exactly what they had to do against a team they are much better than.
Freshman Bryce Young went 20/28 for 348 yards and 4 touchdown passes on Saturday. This man has had a very good start to his career at Alabama and it does not look like he is going to be slowing down.
In the win against the Bulldogs, running back Roydell Williams was the leading rusher with 78 yards on the ground. John Metchie was the leading receiver with 7 receptions for 117 yards. I look for the offense to have another big game when they go against the Vols.
The defense has been questionable so far this year, but they were very good against Mississippi State. The unit picked off Will Rogers 3 times in the blowout win.

Free Week 8 NCAA Football Pick
This is a matchup between two teams that are really not that close to each other.
Even though the Tide are much better than the Vols, 25 is too high for me. I like Tennessee to cover this one.
4* Free Week 8 NCAA Betting Pick:
Even though I think Tennessee can cover this large number, I do not feel the game will be close. If Alabama is on their game, it should be a blowout.
A couple of times this year, the Crimson Tide have been massive favorites and they have not covered. Even with how good they are, I do not think you can just assume they will easily cover this spread.
Alabama should be able to score at ease in this one. I do not feel they will score a lot, but I do feel Tennessee can at least score some in this thing to keep it within the key number here.
Give me the Vols to cover this game.
