Betting on the Alabama Crimson Tide
- Regular Season Record: 22-3
After getting stunned by the Oklahoma Sooners late last January, the Crimson Tide have stitched together four wins in a row, including last Saturday’s 77-69 road win against the Auburn Tigers.
The Crimson Tide played smoothly on both ends of the floor versus Auburn, as they shot nearly 60 percent from the field and held Auburn to only 32.3 FG%. It’s really not all that surprising when considering the fact that Alabama went to that game ranked No. 1 in the SEC in both adjusted offensive efficiency and adjusted defensive efficiency.
Alabama is 6-4 against the spread in its last 10 meetings with the Volunteers. The Crimson Tide have also won all of their last three games versus Tennessee.
Betting on the Tennessee Volunteers
- Regular Season Record: 19-6
four games and 0-2 SU in the last two, which were a pair of 1-point losses to the Vanderbilt Commodores on the road and to the Missouri Tigers at home last Wednesday and Saturday, respectively.
Nevertheless, Tennessee is still so much of a threat to any team that comes across the Vols. Tennessee’s defense has been spectacular this season, notwithstanding its recent losses. They went to the Mizzou game ranked No. 1 in Division I basketball with just 86.5 points allowed per 100 possessions adjusted, second overall with only 56.3 points surrendered per contest, and No. 1 in opponents’ effective field goal percentage (40.7%).
Tennessee is 4-4 ATS in its last eight games.
JefeBet Prediction
It’s about time for Tennessee to end its bad luck. Look for the Vols to make a huge statement win this Wednesday.
Prediction: Tennessee spread.
