The No. 11 Alabama Crimson Tide will host No. 17 Tennessee in a matchup of one-loss teams on Saturday in an SEC on CBS showdown. For two teams with aspirations of reaching the College Football Playoff, this is about as much of a must-win regular-season contest as there is. Alabama, which missed the playoff last year for just the second time since it began in the 2013-14 season, has never missed the CFP in back-to-back years. The Volunteers have never made the CFP. 

Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The Crimson Tide are 9-point favorites in the latest Alabama vs. Tennessee odds from the SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 47.5. Alabama is a -354 favorite on the money line, while Tennessee is at +274. (See up-to-date odds for every game this week on our college football odds page.)
