Bleacher Report's TSIO game prediction:

When: Saturday, Oct. 25; 7:30 p.m. ET

Last meeting: T.J. Yeldon had three rushing touchdowns in Alabama's 45-10 home win over Tennessee last October.



What to watch for

Alabama (6-1, 3-1 SEC) put forth its most dominant performance of the year last week, annihilating Texas A&M 59-0 at home to reverse a recent trend of poor offensive performances. The Crimson Tide scored on their first eight possessions and shut down a potent Aggies attack, getting back on track in the wake of criticism about not winning big enough.

Now they get to visit Knoxville, where offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin spent one notorious season as Tennessee's coach before skipping town to take over USC after the 2009 campaign.

Tennessee (3-4, 0-3) fans will be motivated by such an arrival, but with the Volunteers still looking to put together a winning performance against a key opponent, there's no room for distractions on the field.

"For Tennessee, that task is bouncing back from its worst loss of the season, a 34-3 rout at third-ranked Ole Miss, in time to regroup for a Tide team coming off a 59-0 blitz of the Aggies," wrote Patrick Brown of the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

The Vols have scored only 12 points in their last two SEC games and for the year rank 116th nationally in total offense.

While it would make for a great story if Tennessee were to upset Alabama and give coach Butch Jones his biggest win yet, that's just not very likely.

Prediction: Alabama 30, Tennessee 13

They also predict that LSU will beat Ole Miss 23-20.
