CBS Sports Week 8 Odds/Picks

Tennessee at Alabama (-15.5): Let's get something out of the way before my pick. I love what Alabama is doing right now. Road wins against Georgia and Texas A&M have the Crimson Tide, even with a loss already, looking like one of the strongest teams in the SEC West once again. As long as Derrick Henry is running the ball and that ferocious defense is eating, there is no one in the country I'd take against the Tide ... on a neutral field.
Alabama has not covered a single spread in Bryant-Denny Stadium this season and Joshua Dobbs is coming off a career-best performance with a bye week to prepare for the Tide. Alabama looks great, but trends point to the double-digit road dog, especially when it's Butch Jones' young and feisty bunch looking to build on a big win. Pick: Vols +15.5

CBS Sports SEC Power Rankings

2. Alabama Crimson Tide (1): Far be it from me to criticize my CBS Sports colleagues' selections, and certainly no disrespect to the other outstanding linebackers on our Midseason All-America team, but not having Reggie Ragland on said Midseason All-America team feels like finding out the bluegrass festival you've bought tickets to has decided to prohibit the use of banjos. Something just kinda feels ... missing.
As for the Tide's drop out of the top spot after blowing out a previously undefeated top-10 team on the road, that they have a loss and LSU doesn't matters a bit more when that loss came at home to a team that failed to give Memphis as many problems as USF or Bowling Green did.
