Prop bets to avoid: First half spread and moneyline

If you have faith in Tennessee football’s offense to score a few times on Georgia, then you could have faith in them to cover that 20-point spread. However, there are multiple routes to them covering it. Georgia could call off the Dawgs late, allowing them to score a couple times.

There is only one route to the Vols covering the first half, and it’s them hitting those same big plays they hit last week. That’s a complete 50-50 proposition. As a result, stay away from the first half betting lines. The first half line right now is Georgia -11, and that’s certainly possible, but it could be a lot closer depending on what the Vols do in the first.

Remember, UT was within one score of every team it lost to at halftime, including those blowout losses to Alabama and the Florida Gators. At the same time, none of those teams are as dominant as Georgia, so there’s honestly just no way of knowing exactly how the first half will play out, even with the Vols at home.

Avoid the first half moneyline as well. Georgia could be the first team to could blow Tennessee football out this year at Neyland Stadium, but even with that capability, playing in Knoxville gives the Vols a chance to lead at halftime. That moneyline is Georgia -660 and UT +470. It’s just not good enough, and there are too many uncertainties.
