Week 8 – Oct 24: Home vs. Tennessee – Bryant-Denny Stadium Tuscaloosa, Alabama

This match-up is the hardest to decide whether the Crimson Tide will continue their winning streak or chalk up another L for the loss column. The Volunteers this season have one of the best defenses in the conference and have a plan for their offensive attack under coach Butch Jones.  But I think they will be out-coached and outplayed by the Crimson Tide in this game.

The Crimson Tide will also have home-field advantage and I can’t see them losing at home this season after giving up a game to Ole Miss. If this game were in Knoxville, that would be a different story.

Alabama will win this game by two scores (either two touchdowns or a touchdown and field goal) and will assert their dominance over the power players from the SEC East.
