Tennessee Vols legend Peyton Manning recently joined "Always College Football", which is hosted by former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Greg McElroy, to discuss this year's edition of the Third Saturday in October. 

Manning, who beat Alabama three times during his four seasons at Tennessee, had a fun conversation with McElroy which you can check out in the video below.

Near the end of the interview, Manning gave his score prediction for this year's matchup in Tuscaloosa. 

And unsurprisingly, Manning has Tennessee winning. 

But the Hall of Famer thinks it'll look a little different than it did last season when the Vols won 52-49 in Knoxville. 

"I think keeping the ball, keeping their offense off the field a little bit (will be key) — 20-17," said Manning. 

Manning didn't specify at first if he had Tennessee or Alabama winning 20-17. But when McElroy asked for clarification, Manning quickly let him know, in the most Manning way possible, that it was a silly question — of course he's picking the Vols.

20 points probably isn't how Josh Heupel would draw it up, but like Al Davis said, just win baby.
