💰 Best Tennessee vs. Alabama touchdown scorer bets

Our college football player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.

🔥 Isaiah Horton to score anytime TD (+145) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Horton doesn’t lead Alabama in any statistical category, but he’s tied for the second-most receptions (21), has the third-most receiving yards (270), and second-most touchdowns (4). While he doesn’t see the volume of Germie Bernard, Bernard’s price to score is -135, which is too expensive in this matchup.

Ty Simpson has thrown multiple touchdowns in every game this season. Horton has been the recipient of one of those passes in four contests. Yet, for as good as the Alabama passing attack has been, Tennessee is allowing just 1.5 passing touchdowns per game. Therefore, I want to go with value for this play, which is why I’m backing Horton for a much better price than Bernard, even if Bernard has scored one more touchdown.

A $10 bet at BetMGM would profit $14.50. The price of +145 implies a 40.82% chance that Horton scores.


🔥 DeSean Bishop to score anytime TD (+135) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tennessee is the top-scoring offense in the nation, averaging 2.7 passing touchdowns and 2.8 rushing touchdowns per game. While Alabama’s 22nd-ranked scoring defense should slow down Tennessee, this is still a good matchup for Bishop.

The easiest way to score on Alabama is by running, as the Crimson Tide are allowing 1.3 rushing touchdowns per game. Bishop is tied for the team lead in rushing touchdowns, but four of his scores have come in the last three weeks. During that span, he led the backfield with 34 carries, while Star Thomas had 29 and Peyton Lewis had 22. With Bishop averaging 7.6 yards per carry this season, I expect him to continue to get the majority of touches in a favorable matchup.

The price of +135 at BetMGM implies a 42,55% chance that Bichop scores. A $10 bet would profit $13.50.


🔥 Jam Miller to score 2+ touchdowns (+320) ⭐⭐⭐

Tennessee ranks 109th of 136 teams in scoring defense, allowing 29.3 points per game. The defense has been particularly weak against the run, allowing 2.2 rushing touchdowns per contest.

Miller has only scored once this season, but he’s rushed 58 times for 267 yards in three games. All of those performances were against ranked opponents, and yet, he still managed to average at least 4.3 yards per carry in two contests.

Miller is clearly the number-one back, as Kevin Riley, who has 44 carries this season, only has 21 in games in which Miller has played. In a great matchup, this multi-score bet is more valuable than other Tennessee vs. Alabama anytime touchdown scorer predictions.

A $10 bet at FanDuel would profit $32. +320 implies a 23.81% chance Miller scores twice.
