After piecing together their first winning streak of the season, Tennessee comes back home after a bye to an unwelcoming sight: Alabama.

The Crimson Tide will be the best team in the SEC in 2020 and even with a new quarterback under center, that offense led by Najee Harris will be nothing to mess with. Expect a rude awakening for the Volunteers as they realize they still have a long way to go before they can contend with the likes of Alabama for a conference crown.

Final Score: Alabama 42, Tennessee 24 (4-3, 2-2)

Halloween night will feature an interesting battle between Tennessee, fresh off an Alabama beatdown, and Arkansas. The Volunteers are a program trending in the right direction while Arkansas is hoping to follow those same footsteps under new head coach Sam Pittman.

The future is bright in Fayetteville, but the present is a little murky as the 2020 season will be rough as Pittman and Co. are still trying to pick up the pieces after the Chad Morris era.

This game will still come down to the wire because, well, crazy things happen on Halloween.

Final Score: Tennessee 31, Arkansas 28 (5-3, 3-2)
