Chris "The Bear" Fallica picked South Alabama to cover a 28-point spread.

"I think this is a tough spot for Tennessee today, only because of how they opened up last week against Georgia — took the lead in that game and then Georgia just kind of went like this the rest of that game [Fallica made a pounding motion]," Fallica said. "The physicality of that game. I think Tennessee starts slow against a South Alabama team that's been in a lot of games this year. A step up in competition, but you're asking for a 30-point win. It seems like a lot. Tennessee wins, but I'll take the 28 (points)."
