7:30 PM EST. After a masterpiece performance against Texas A&M, the 6-1 Alabama Crimson Tide will travel to Neyland Stadium to renew their rivalry with the 3-4 Tennessee Volunteers after mowing down A&M 59-0 in Tuscaloosa. That was Alabama’s most lopsided SEC victory since 2009 and what it did was cause Alabama's stock to soar through the roof. One week later, you’ll now pay an extra premium to wager on the Tide in what has been dubbed "The Third Saturday in October". It’s also worth noting that this game in Tennessee for the Tide is “sandwiched” between the Aggies game last week and LSU next week.

Let it be noted that Tennessee is 3-1 at home on the year, with its sole defeat at "Rocky Top" coming at the hands of another arch nemesis in September when the Vols lost 10-9 to the Gators. All three of Tennessee’s other losses occurred on the road against opponents that have been or are currently ranked in the Top-10, Oklahoma, Georgia and Mississippi. The Vols are loaded with top-quality receivers and if their offensive line gives Justin Worley a bit of time, he’ll hit his targets. That’s a big if of course, as Worley has been sacked 30 times but those are good lessons to get rid of the ball quicker. Tennessee is not where the Tide is in terms of recruiting and talent but they are slowly getting back to being the contender every year that used to be. It’s games like this that help in the building and recruiting process and we like the Vols chances of a decent response in front of an enthusiastic and crazed crowd.
