Saturday, the Alabama Crimson Tide travel to Knoxville to face the Tennessee Volunteers in one of college football’s most storied rivalries. Question marks surround each team.
For the Crismon Tide, can Kalen DeBoer live up to the lofty expectations set by his predecessor, Nick Saban, or will they lose their second game in their last three?
For Josh Heupel, can he steer his inexperienced redshirt freshman QB Nico Iamaleava to stardom?
The Tide, led by quarterback Jalen Milroe, enters this game having won 16 of the last 17 meetings between the two.
The Tide’s offense is electric, but the Volunteers’ defense is one of the best in the country.
With much on the line between these two sides, expect this week’s clash to be remembered forever.

Betting Insights and Predictions
NBC Sports Bet’s Brad Thomas leans Alabama moneyline:
“Despite the Crimson Tide’s loss to unranked Vanderbilt, this team is still a team to fear throughout the season. Their offense ranks 11th in EPA per play, and it’s deadly explosive with Milroe and true freshman sensation Ryan Williams. Tennessee’s defense is one of the best in the country, but their offense is anemic.”
