This is the third straight road game for South Alabama and they step out of conference play to face the mighty SEC. South Alabama is 2-7-1 ATS as an underdog and has failed to cover five straight on the road. It's also their fourth road game in five weeks. South Alabama stepped up to play two Top 25 teams last season and flunked, losing 23-6 to Coastal Carolina and 38-10 to Louisiana. They have no balance on offense with the ground game averaging 3.4 yards per carry. Making matters worse, veteran QB Jake Bentley (15 TDs, 5 INTs) was lost for the season with a knee injury, so sophomore Desmond Trotter (3 TDs, 3 INTs) gets his second start. Tennessee just wrapped up a brutal stretch playing four straight Top 20 teams. They managed one win, beating Kentucky, 45-42, to sit at 5-5 with a bowl in the balance. When the Vols haven't faced a Top 20 team this season they've rolled in four of them whipping South Carolina (45-20), Missouri (62-24), Bowling Green (38-6), and Tennessee Tech (56-0). With South Alabama 11-26 ATS on the road after playing a conference game, back the home team. Play Tennessee.
