Bold Prediction No. 4

Alabama Football leads the SEC in scoring at 45 points per game. That scoring average will go up this weekend as the Alabama Crimson Tide hits the half-hundred mark, scoring 50 or more points against the Tennessee Vols.

Bold Prediction No. 5

Starting Daniel Wright at safety against Mississippi State will not be a one-game exception. Wright will start again in place of DeMarrco Hellams. Wright, who has had an up and down Crimson Tide career, played well against Mississippi State. One reason for the change was revealed by Nick Saban this week when he said Hellams had been dealing with an ankle issue going back to fall camp.

Bold Prediction No. 6

The Vols defense will be so focused on John Metchie III, Jameson Williams and Jahleel Billingsley, one of and possibly both JoJo Earle and Traeshon Holden will have the biggest games of their Crimson Tide careers. Look for the pair to contribute with a total of at least six receptions against the Vols.

It was too easy to include this prediction, but the Alabama Crimson Tide will run its win streak over Tennessee to 15 games.
