What is the Payout on the Tennessee Vols Beating Alabama Outright October 19?

Tennessee beating Alabama outright in Saturday's marquee game pays out $140 for every $100 bet on the moneyline.

While Sagarin suggests Alabama is the better team, they only give us a number of 0.25, or barely a PICK'EM.

As far as the spread goes, the Tide have moved from a -1 favorite to -3, courtesy of heavy one-sided cash action early (90%).

What’s at Stake?

The College Football Playoff future for both programs is on the line with Alabama and Tennessee each having a loss already this season and the teams in a four-way tie for fifth in the mighty SEC. The Crimson Tide lost their last game at Neyland Stadium in 2022. Tennessee dropped in the Top 25 rankings after an overtime win over Florida and has an open date looming.

Key Matchup

Vols QB Nico Iamaleava was sacked three times by Florida with Tennessee tackles Lance Heard and John Campbell Jr., struggling to protect in consecutive games. They also were flagged for a couple holding penalties. Alabama had four sacks in a win against South Carolina. Protecting Iamaleava is a priority for Tennessee as the Vols try to get the offense humming like it did earlier this season.

SEC and Road Games

Winners and Whiners writes:

Road games in the SEC are not easy to win, just ask both of these head coaches. Just two weeks ago, Alabama went into Vanderbilt and lost, and on the same day Tennessee went to Arkansas and lost. Vanderbilt and Arkansas were both unranked and double-digit dogs that won outright. To expect that Alabama is going to walk into Tennessee and leave with a victory is a big leap considering what we have seen recently. Tennessee is not an unranked team, they are one of the best in the nation, and this stadium will be ready for this game. The weakest unit in this game is surprisingly Alabama's defense, though maybe it should not be surprising as Nick Saban is now working for College Gameday instead of running the defensive unit. Bama coach Kalen DeBoer is an offensive mind, and the Bama defense has taken a step back under his short tenure. This means Tennessee and their 9th-ranked offense will feel comfortable at home, and be able to put up points. Iamaleava will be able to find his receivers, especially considering Alabama will have to respect the run. Sampson is second in the nation in touchdowns and will keep the chains moving against this Bama front line. Take the home team and the points here.

They are backing Tennessee on the spread at +2.5.
