Alabama vs Tennessee Prop Bets & Touchdown Picks for the Third Saturday in October

• Alabama vs Tennessee props headline the Third Saturday in October at Neyland Stadium.
• A quarterback milestone, a touchdown scorer and a big-play receiver make the card.
• Read below for our Alabama vs Tennessee player prop picks and odds.

The Alabama Crimson Tide travel to Knoxville to face the Tennessee Volunteers at Neyland Stadium on October 17 at 3:30 p.m. ET. Both teams come in at 5-1, and this Third Saturday in October matchup has plenty to offer on the Alabama vs Tennessee props board.

Alabama is looking to bounce back from a 20-17 loss to Georgia. Tennessee is coming off a 24-17 road win over Arkansas, a game where running back DeSean Bishop carried a big share of the load.

These two offenses win in very different ways, and that shapes where I’m looking in the player prop market. Here are my three Alabama vs Tennessee player props, along with the odds and the numbers behind each one.

Alabama vs Tennessee Player Prop Picks

1. Keelon Russell 250+ Passing Yards

• Keelon Russell 250+ passing yards (-161) at BetMGM

Russell has been the engine of the Alabama offense this season. He’s averaging 266.5 passing yards per game with 1,599 yards through six games, and he’s taken care of the football, throwing 12 touchdown passes against just two interceptions.

This is a strength-on-strength spot, because Tennessee has held opponents to 161.3 passing yards per game. That number will test Russell’s floor. Still, he’s averaging more than this line, and Alabama’s offense runs through his arm. At -161, I’m comfortable backing his volume to get him to 250 yards in this Alabama vs Tennessee prop.

2. DeSean Bishop Anytime Touchdown

• DeSean Bishop anytime touchdown (-182) at BetMGM

Bishop is the centerpiece of the Tennessee offense. He has 678 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 107 carries this season, which works out to 6.3 yards per carry. When the Volunteers get close to the end zone, he’s been the player finishing drives.

Alabama’s defense has allowed 336.3 total yards per game, so Tennessee should find chances to move the ball at home. The -182 price isn’t cheap, but with eight scores already on his resume, Bishop is the Tennessee player I trust most to find the end zone. He’s a solid anchor for an Alabama vs Tennessee touchdown card.

3. Lotzeir Brooks 100+ Receiving Yards

• Lotzeir Brooks 100+ receiving yards (+160) at BetMGM

Brooks is my higher-payout Alabama vs Tennessee prop. He has 389 receiving yards and one touchdown on 23 catches, averaging 16.9 yards per reception. That big-play ability is what makes this plus-money milestone interesting.

Reaching 100 yards is a high bar, and Tennessee’s pass defense won’t make it easy. But Brooks doesn’t need a huge target count to get there, since a couple of long gains could do most of the work. If Russell is moving the ball through the air, +160 is a fair price for a smaller bet.

Alabama vs Tennessee Props Betting Analysis

Alabama’s offense leans on its passing game, with Russell’s 266.5 yards per game doing most of the heavy lifting. On the other side, the Crimson Tide defense has given up 336.3 total yards per game, which leaves room for Tennessee to have some success.

Tennessee’s approach is built around Bishop and the run game, backed by a pass defense allowing just 161.3 yards per game. For Alabama vs Tennessee player props, that combination points me toward Bishop’s touchdown market and Alabama’s top passing options, while staying away from forcing the Volunteers’ passing numbers.

Each of these three Alabama vs Tennessee props stands on its own, so they can be played separately rather than tied together. If you’re looking for another way to get involved in this matchup, check out our Novig promo code page.
