The betting line is out for the upcoming matchup between No. 1 Alabama and Tennessee, and the Crimson Tide is more than a 30-point favorite over its seventh opponent of the season.

Alabama (6-0, 3-0 SEC) opened as a 35.5-point favorite over Tennessee, according to Circa Sports, the sportsbook at the Golden Gate Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Alabama and Tennessee will meet for the 102nd time next weekend in a series that dates back to the 1901 season. The Crimson Tide leads the all-time series against the Volunteers, 55-38-7, and has won 12 games in a row against Tennessee. Alabama won last year’s meeting, 58-21, at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn. This year’s matchup will take place in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

The Volunteers have posted a 2-4 (1-2 SEC) record to start the 2019 season. UT has posted wins over Chattanooga (45-0) and most recently Mississippi State (20-10). Tennessee has lost games against Georgia State (38-30), BYU (29-26 in OT), Florida (34-3) and Georgia (43-14).

“That was a really good team win against a good football team,” head coach Jeremy Pruitt said after Saturday’s win over Mississippi State. “We had some things that didn’t go our way. Had some guys that got banged up and had to leave the game. Turned the ball over some in the first half in the red area, which made the game a lot closer there toward the end. If you get six points there, that’s a totally different deal. We’ve got to be able to take care of the football.

“I thought our guys fought very hard. They’ve been busting their tail all fall, trying to play like we did today. And I’m sure we didn’t play perfect, but we found a way to win. That’s one of the things we talked about all week, is playing cleaner football. Playing more physical. Playing longer. I think our guys did that.”

The 2019 matchup will take place on Saturday, Oct. 19, at 8 p.m. CT on ESPN.
