It’s comical how we identify weeks or days of the month with what football game is scheduled to play. If you are south of the Mason Dixon Line, the third-Saturday in October signifies one thing; the Alabama Crimson Tide and Tennessee Volunteers will play a football game. This year the game will be on Alabama’s home turf at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and will mark the 90th time the schools have played. Only once since 1928 have they not played and it took a World War for that to happen in 1943.
Oddsmakers at online wagering leader Sportsbetting.com currently show the game between the Volunteers and Crimson Tide listed as a PICK while the total is sitting at 55.5. Money line prices are currently OFF the board.
