Alabama are tipped to cover a double-digit spread when they visit Vanderbilt in Nashville. The Crimson Tide's offence has found its rhythm again, and they have won five of their seven games by 18 points or more. Alabama have covered the spread in five of the last six meetings with Vanderbilt and lead the all-time series 64-19-4. Vanderbilt, meanwhile, have struggled in SEC play, failing to cover in two of three games against ranked teams and conceding heavily. This makes Alabama the recommended pick for the spread.

Alabama are tipped to cover a double-digit spread as they win in Nashville.

The Crimson Tide’s offense is rolling again after a couple of rough outings last month, and it can light up a Vanderbilt defense that has given up a ton of points in a series of SEC blowouts.

Key Numbers – Will Alabama Record Another Blowout Win?

  • 5 of Alabama’s 7 wins have come by 18 points or more
  • Vanderbilt have failed to cover in 2 of their 3 games against ranked teams
  • Alabama have covered in 5 of the previous 6 meetings with Vanderbilt
  • All 3 of Vanderbilt’s games against ranked teams have produced over 50.5 total points

Alabama Lead All-Time Head-To-Head; Won Last Meeting

  • Alabama lead the all-time series 64-19-4
  • Alabama won 30-14 when the two teams last met in October 2025

Alabama 7-2 Following Back-To-Back Wins

Alabama enter this matchup having kept themselves right in the college football playoff mix with back-to-back wins, improving to 7-2.

The Crimson Tide kicked off the season with a 48-10 blowout of East Carolina, and then opened their SEC slate with a 45-17 success in Kentucky.

They followed that up with a 50-36 win over Florida State, before returning to conference duties with wins over South Carolina, 49-18, and Mississippi State, 56-23.

Alabama’s SEC title and playoff hopes took a hit in October though, as they were beaten 20-17 by Georgia and 26-10 at Tennessee.

The Crimson Tide rebounded at home to Texas A&M though, winning 31-20, and followed that up with a 31-13 success at LSU last weekend.

Vanderbilt Snapped Five-Game Losing Skid

Vanderbilt come into this matchup having finally ended a five-game losing skid with their first SEC win of the season.

The Commodores opened with three non-conference wins, beating Austin Peay 28-9, Delaware 35-26 and NC State 35-31.

However, they failed to transfer that over to their SEC schedule as they lost five consecutive games, starting with a 21-15 defeat in Auburn.

Vanderbilt followed that with a defeats to Georgia, 38-14, Ole Miss, 52-17, Arkansas, 31-21, and Kentucky 34-17.

The Commodores avoided a sixth straight defeat though, as they finally ended their SEC drought with a 25-23 win at Mississippi State.

Verdict

Alabama received a favourable ranking from the committee this week, but the pressure is still firmly on them to win games and win them big.

The good news for the Crimson Tide is that they get to face a Vanderbilt team that has struggled badly in the SEC this season – back the visitors to take advantage.
