A pair of SEC powerhouses are set to collide when the No. 11 Tennessee Volunteers (5-1, 2-1) host the No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide (5-1, 2-1) at Neyland Stadium on Saturday. The Vols are coming off a 23-17 overtime win over Florida, bouncing back nicely from their only loss of the season against Arkansas the week prior. The Tide used another standout performance from Heisman Trophy candidate Jalen Milroe to notch a hard fought 27-25 win over South Carolina in their last outing. 

The Tide are 3-point favorites in the latest Alabama vs. Tennessee odds via SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 57.5. Alabama is a -153 (risk $153 to win $100) favorite on the money line, with Tennessee listed as a +127 underdog (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our college football odds page).
