No. 1 Alabama at Vanderbilt
TV/Time: CBS, 3:30 EST, (Sept. 23rd)
Line: Alabama (-18.5)
Breakdown: Despite the large line in favor of Alabama in this one, this match-up is getting a lot of attention because of Vanderbilt’s bravado after their win against Kansas State last week. Vanderbilt hasn’t beaten Alabama since 1993, and they lost 34-0 the last time these two teams played in 2011. Vanderbilt’s defense has been stout to start the season, but they haven’t faced a team with the talent level of the Tide yet.
