Tennessee -7.5 first quarter

No bet is easier than this one. The first prop bet mentioned how Tennessee football has the best first quarter offense. Well, the Vols are the best first quarter team. Despite being offensive-focused, their first quarter defense is ranked No. 38, allowing 4.9 points a game. That makes for a margin of plus-10 in the first quarter for them.

Meanwhile, South Alabama is horrendous in the first quarter. Their defense is ranked No. 95, giving up 7.4 points per game, as mentioned earlier, and their offense is ranked No. 95, scoring just 4.2 points per game. Now, they are much better in the second quarter, but the fact of the matter is they are horrendous in the first quarter.

The Vols led both the Georgia Bulldogs and the Alabama Crimson Tide at the end of the first quarter. Regardless of their issues the rest of the game, it’s impossible to ignore how elite they are during those 15 minutes.

This team has also scored 28 points in the first quarter in back to back weeks, taking a 28-0 lead over the Missouri Tigers in the first and a 28-0 lead over the South Carolina Gamecocks in the first the next week. Simply put, they are elite in the first quarter, so they’ll cover here.
