Last Updated: 09/23/2022 at 9:05 PM ET

Bryant-Denny Stadium will play host to a Saturday night SEC battle between the Vanderbilt Commodores and the Alabama Crimson Tide. The Commodores (3-1) are averaging 42 points per contest and their lone loss came at home versus 23rd ranked Wake Forest. On Saturday, Vanderbilt outscored Northern Illinois by 14 points during the third quarter to rally for a 38-28 road victory.

Freshman QB A.J. Swann threw for 255 yards and four touchdowns in his first career start. Will Sheppard hauled in ten passes for 171 yards and two scores for the Commodores.

The Alabama Crimson Tide survived a scare on the road against Texas two weeks ago and head coach Nick Saban will have their attention moving forward. Last week, Alabama raced out to a 28-point lead after one quarter and cruised to a 63-7 home victory versus UL Monroe. The second-ranked Crimson Tide (3-0) outgained the Warhawks by a 509-169 margin.

Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young completed 13 of 18 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns. Alabama LB Will Anderson Jr. contributed a 25-yard interception return for a score.

Alabama is riding an 11-game winning streak against Vanderbilt, including a 59-0 victory in their most recent meeting in 2017. The Commodores have definitely improved, but this is too much of an ask with a freshman quarterback on the road. Take Alabama to cover at home. Final Score Prediction, Alabama Crimson Tide win 52-7.
