Tennessee football vs. South Alabama: Best prop bets to make
Bet to avoid: Tennessee -17 first half
Although it’s fair to think Tennessee football will cover the overall four-touchdown spread, that depends on what happens in the second half. The second half is more of a wildcard for both teams given their trends this year.

What’s clear is that the first half will at least allow things to be interesting. Despite the Vols being elite in the first quarter, they are the worst second quarter team out there, and South Alabama is one of the best second quarter teams. As a result, regardless of the lead they take in the first, South Alabama will cut it close in the second quarter.
Will they cut it to within three scores in the second quarter, though? That’s impossible to know. If the Vols have one of their 28-point first quarter performances, it’s hard to see that happening. However, while it’s easy to see them covering that first quarter spread, it’s also hard to see them matching what they did against South Carolina and Missouri.

As a result, stay away from this bet. While Tennessee football should win in a blowout, that blowout won’t be assured until the second half. This first half spread depends on how much they dominate in the first quarter, and you can’t bet on them scoring 28 points again.
