Alabama vs. Tennessee Predictions
Alabama plays fast, ranking second overall in adjusted tempo (per KenPom.com). Tennessee plays much slower while ranking 248th in that metric. The Volunteers rank first in adjusted defensive efficiency while Alabama is fifth. Tennessee has gone under the total in three of its last four games, and Alabama has fallen short of the listed total in six of its last eight games. I think you see where this is going.
Two of the best defenses in the country will face each other. Tennessee should be able to slow down the tempo at home, and you better believe both of these teams will bring the energy on defense in this pivotal matchup. Prior to Saturday’s loss against Missouri, the Volunteers failed to score more than 54 points in their two previous outings. This should be a hard-fought game with a tame final score that slides under the listed total of 147.5.
