Top Week 8 college football expert predictions
One of Casale's top Week 8 college football picks: He's going Over on the team total for Alabama (34.5) as the Tide take on Tennessee in Tuscaloosa.
"Now that we are in mid-October, we have enough data to come to certain conclusions," Casale said. "One of those conclusions is Tennessee's defense isn't very good. The Volunteers have been without their two top corners all season and it shows. Tennessee ranks 119th in pass defense, allowing 277 yards per game. Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson should feast on the Volunteers and strengthen his Heisman Trophy candidacy Saturday after facing tough defenses in Georgia, Vanderbilt and Missouri the last three weeks.
"Tennessee has allowed 30+ points in its three SEC games against Arkansas, Mississippi State and Georgia. They also gave up 24 points to lowly UAB. The Volunteers are an over bettor's dream because they can score but can't stop anyone. I expect that trend to continue against Alabama."
