No. 6 Alabama is a significant betting favorite as it prepares to host No. 11 Tennessee in the annual “Third Saturday in October” matchup today, October 18, at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.
The Crimson Tide are currently favored by eight points, with a moneyline of -310, according to BetMGM as of yesterday, October 17. The over/under is set at 59 points.
