Alabama Crimson Tide at Tennessee Volunteers NCAA Football best bets and odds

In 1998 It would have been impossible to fathom Tennessee was about to fall.  Consider the Volunteers won that season’s national title.  For the astute eye potential concerns were immediately apparent.  Tennessee was not recruiting at an elite College football betting level.  While the rest of the SEC was rapidly improving.  Coach Phillip Fulmer was fired after the 2008 season.  Since then Big Orange has a lost generation.  Current coach Jeremy Pruitt was showing hints of promise.  Of major concern was Saturday’s 34-7 home loss to Kentucky.  The defeat ranks as one of the worst Tennessee histories.
