It's all about getting a balance in the betting, not about who Vegas thinks will win the game.

They’re not getting that on this game so far.

Bama is “up to” -3, with a whopping 96% of the money, and 82% of the betting public pounding Alabama like it’s easy money.

Over 9k bets so far..

I think we all realize that this team is walking a tight rope in terms of winning or losing this game. There will be absolutely no margin for error. This team could surprise me by coming out and playing like the first half of the UGA game or reverting back to its performance against Vanderbilt. I sadly have no confidence in this team and do not expect it beating Tennessee this Saturday. If I am wrong I will try a new recipe for crow. Roll Tide.

You have to be getting tired of that meal after all these years. 😂

Rewatched first half of SC game. We played well in the first half except for the last 1:40 when we had a 14-0 lead. Let up a td on fourth and 9, safety and an interception that lead to a FG. If we stop the 4th and 9 we go in up 14 or 17 -0 at the half. And if we score a td when Milroe throws a pick in the end zone the
score of this game looks completely different. We need to get off to a fast start at Tennessee and
Milroe needs to play great for us to win.

I put on a HAZMAT suit and peeked in on a viles message board. They do NOT seem confident in the least. The last two seasons leading up to TSIO, they were chest beating like crazy, but this year they seem downright forlorn

Honestly, neither fanbase should feel the warm and fuzzies of confidence right now. I know a Vol fan and he's not even watching the game because he's so "unconfident" about the game. This is saying something for a guy who plans his entire weekends around Vol football. He's going to the deer lease and not watching.

On our end, the lack of 3rd and 4th down defense should give us all nausea going into this game. Teams have been able to both pass and run on us at will on these important downs. So, I can fully understand why neither fanbase is feeling very confident going into this game. It could go all kinds of ways. It could be a nail-biter or either team could blowout the other one. That's just how unpredictable both teams are at the moment.

Any fan who is feeling confident walking into this matchup either has an algorithm that I wish they would share with me, has a crystal ball, or is delusional. I'm hopeful but confident is not in my vocabulary right now.

Defensive issues aside, we have the more experienced offense and QB.

IF our offense were performing to the level we ALL expected it to pre-season, it would help the defense out a lot.

It almost always comes down to the LOS. Also, I think if I see one more silly damn dance in the end zone I’ m going to scream. Gettin’ crotchety in my old age, I guess.

Well I hope that you see 6 or 7 dance routines in the end zone performed by our guys this Saturday. 😉 RTR!!!🐘

As far as I am concerned; this is Milroe's game to show up and show out against a quality defense.. Coach DeBoer needs to put him in the right plan and he needs to make good choices.

Looks like I'll be missing this one as well.

The boy got picked up to play in a baseball tournament this weekend. Games coincide exactly with this one.

Last time I missed a Bama-Tennessee game, I went camping, came home and found out we'd won 9-6.

Was that the year (1990) when Lee Corso (or some other talking head) said that we couldn't beat a high school team and that UT would destroy us?
