I believe in Bama and feel confident their offense will be the difference against the stout Tennessee D.
The Tide will score points in transition, where they thrive as the fastest-tempo team in the country. They knock down the three-ball at a high clip, opening better looks from inside the arc, where they lead the nation in shooting percentage (60% from 2PT range). On defense, their length and perimeter defense will create problems for the Vols. Alabama is 39th in defensive efficiency, limiting teams to 29% from 3 and 48% from 2. UT is heavily reliant on the three-point shot (43% of their shot attempts), but if that shot doesn't fall, they are in trouble, as they can't count on offensive rebounds for second chances against Bama.
I'm confident the Tide will cover, but I believe they should win this game straight-up. Bet on the Bama ML at +135 or better odds!
