For two straight games, this site has taken a beating when it came to prop bets. They were based on belief in the offense Tennessee football could put out on the field. Not only did that offense become a disappointment, but the defense actually became a pleasant surprise for the Vols, which really threw things for a loop.

Fresh off a bye week, though, we have more reason to believe in the Vols’ offense. As they get set to visit the Kentucky Wildcats, the WynnBET betting odds have moved dramatically in recent days. It’s more than enough to reaffirm bits of confidence this site has.

Just like we usually do, the prop bets will start with the best bet and end with the bet to avoid. In our weekly predictions, you can see how we will bet all aspects of the game, but that’s not what this is about. In between those two bets, we’ll rank the three best prop bets to make in order of confidence. This is our breakdown of the best best for Tennessee football at Kentucky.

Best standard bet: Tennessee pick’em

This is a double win, and that’s why it’s the best standard bet. The Vols entered the week as underdogs. However, since then, the line has moved to a pick’em. That alone should tell you that Vegas isn’t confident in where it set this game, meaning it’s even more likely that Rocky Top wins, as the line favors the team in which direction it moved.

With this being a pick’em, the moneyline is set at both teams -110. Look, Kentucky on a two-game losing streak, falling by two scores to the Mississippi State Bulldogs, and the Vols coming off a bye give you every reason to bet on them in this game. They should win outright.

Throw out the rankings and the records. Sure, Kentucky is 6-2 and Tennessee football is 4-4. All the exterior factors point to UT winning, especially when you consider the fact that Kentucky was extremely lucky in a few of its wins. That team could easily be 2-6 on the year. With luck running out, the Vols have every advantage possible.
