The Tennessee Volunteers will be on the road to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide on Wednesday, December 29th.
The tip-off is set for 9:00 ET from Coleman Coliseum.
The Crimson Tide started off as a 1.5 point favorite and that number is now up to 3. I have seen the total go from 148.5 to 147.5.
Tennessee Volunteers
Going into the year, a lot of people thought this Tennessee team would be very good and so far, that has been the case.
The Volunteers picked up a win over the Arizona Wildcats on December 22nd by a score of 77-73. That was a very impressive victory for this squad over one of the better teams in the nation. They will once again be challenged on Wednesday when they face off with the Tide.
These guys have already faced off with some very good teams, so I do not feel they will be overwhelmed when facing Alabama. They will be up for the challenge of facing a very dangerous team in a hostile environment.
Although the win over Arizona was impressive, it should not have been that close. They started off the game with a big lead, but they let the Wildcats storm back and it make it a close game. Those are the sorts of things that just cannot happen.
Alabama Crimson Tide
Similar to Tennessee, this Alabama team has gotten off to a very good start. It makes me want to see more.
The Crimson Tide currently has a record of 9-3. Things will get much harder for them when they start playing more games within the SEC, but I do not think this will bother them. To me, this is a team that can play with anyone in the country when they are on their game.
This club lost to the Davidson Wildcats on December 21st by a score of 79-78. That is certainly a game they would like back, but they cannot dwell on it. Their main focus needs to be on the Vols.
In the loss to Davidson, the leading scorer for this group was Jaden Shackelford, who had 20 points and 5 rebounds. Also, Juwan Gary had 20 points and 8 rebounds. This team is going to need their best players to step up to the plate on Wednesday when they square off with a very good and balanced Tennessee team.

Free Tennessee Volunteers vs. Alabama Crimson Tide NCAAB Summary:
This game features two of the better teams in the SEC. I feel like it has the chance to be a very compelling game.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Tenessee ATS
To me, these teams are very evenly matched. Based on that, I am expecting to see a close final score when all is said and done.
Going on the road to face the Tide will be a tall order for the Vols, but I feel like they will be up for it. It is not as if they have not faced a program that is on the same level as Alabama this year.
Although Alabama has had a good year in terms of wins and losses, they have not been the most reliable when it comes to covering and I look for that trend to continue in this ball game. In this game, I do not trust them covering as 3 point favorites because I am not sold on them winning the game in the first place.
Give me the Vols at +3 in this one.
