Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:Alabama -7.5 spread★★★

Laying 7.5 with the better team

Alabama are laying 7.5, a number they have cleared in four of their last six.

The number

A win by 7.5 or less is a loss on this ticket; it needs a comfortable margin, not just the result.

The decider

Alabama's offense meets a Tennessee defense that has been stingy; the edge in that matchup belongs to Alabama. Alabama score 39.3 a game and Tennessee allow 14.7.

The context

Alabama have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference.

Situational

Alabama are missing Ryan ColemanWilliams (WR); Tennessee are missing Joakim Dodson (WR), Ethan Davis (TE) — worth a notch of caution.
