In their first non-conference game since September, Tennessee football is favored by four touchdowns against the South Alabama Jaguars, according to the WynnBET betting odds.If you’re going to bet on the spread, the best move is to take the Vols to cover, but that’s not the best or the worst bet to make.
Plenty of prop bets are out for this game, including bets to make for each quarter and half along with the total points for each team at different times of the game. Of course, there’s the off-chance that South Alabama shocks everybody and pulls off the upset.
That’s not the best bet to make, though. As is usual on our site with analysis of gambling moves, this post will rank the three best prop bets to make. Beforehand, though, there will be a look at the best standard bet, and it’ll end with the one bet to avoid. Let’s go ahead and dive in. These are the best prop bets for Tennessee football and South Alabama.
Best standard bet: Over 61
Yes, South Alabama is known for defense. However, that’s against Group of Five competition. This is a team that gave up 31 points to the Texas State Bobcats, Troy Trojans and Appalachian State Mountaineers while giving up 41 points to the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks. As a result, UT is going to score at will on them.
At the same time, South Alabama has the best offense the Vols have faced, so you have to think they’re capable of a couple of touchdowns given the tempo Josh Heupel is going to run. One of them could even be in garbage time, but it’ll happen.
As a result, the over is a pretty safe bet in this game. Tennessee football is going to make sure this game hits the over almost on its own, but South Alabama will play its part. Both of these teams are turnover prone, but those turnovers could lead to points on their own. That’s enough to say this is a safe bet.
