Top 4 Prop Bets: Alabama vs. Tennessee
The SEC spotlight shifts to Saturday night as the
Alabama Crimson Tide
host the
Tennessee Volunteers
in a rivalry that always delivers fireworks. Alabama is 6-1 and rolling under Ty Simpson’s command, while Tennessee enters desperate to stay alive in the SEC East race. Both offenses can score in bunches, setting up an intriguing prop-betting slate.
Here are four bets that stand out ahead of kickoff.
Ty Simpson Over 278.5 Passing Yards
Alabama’s offense has evolved under Ty Simpson — more rhythm, more play-action, and a willingness to attack vertically. Simpson has topped 275 yards in three straight games, including efficient outings against top-25 defenses.
Tennessee’s front seven is aggressive, but their secondary has allowed chunk plays when blitzes don’t land. With weapons like Germie Bernard and Kobe Prentice thriving on intermediate routes, Simpson should have plenty of clean looks off quick reads and RPOs.
Expect Alabama to let Simpson take command early, using tempo and early-down passing to set the tone in a matchup that could become a shootout.
Tip: Ty Simpson over 278.5 passing yards
- Alabama leaning pass-heavy
-
Tennessee blitz leaves openings
-
Simpson in rhythm

Joey Aguilar Over 237.5 Passing Yards
Tennessee’s quarterback Joey Aguilar will need to shoulder the load if the Vols are going to keep pace. He’s averaging over 250 yards per game and has developed chemistry with receivers Bru McCoy and Squirrel White, especially on deep crossers and seam routes.
Alabama’s secondary, while talented, has given up big-yardage totals to efficient passers this year. If the Tide get an early lead — as oddsmakers expect — Aguilar will be throwing in volume during the second half.
The combination of Tennessee’s tempo and Aguilar’s accuracy makes the Over a strong lean.
Tip: Joey Aguilar over 237.5 passing yards
- Tennessee may trail early
-
Vols’ offense fast-paced
-
Aguilar efficient under pressure

DeSean Bishop Over 82.5 Rushing Yards
While Tennessee loves to throw,
DeSean Bishop
has become their steady engine on the ground. He’s topped 80 rushing yards in four of his last five games and remains the Vols’ best shot at keeping Alabama’s defense honest.
Alabama’s front can be dominant, but they’ve shown some vulnerability against cutback runners — exactly Bishop’s specialty. Expect Tennessee to test the edges and use misdirection to create rushing lanes, particularly if the passing game softens up Alabama’s linebackers.
If the Vols commit to balance, Bishop should surpass this total with volume alone.
Tip: DeSean Bishop over 82.5 rushing yards
- Bishop steady volume
-
Alabama vulnerable to edge runs
-

Germie Bernard Anytime Touchdown (+150)
Bernard has emerged as Alabama’s most trusted red-zone target. His route-running and body control give Simpson a reliable option inside the 20, and he’s scored in three of Alabama’s past four games.
Tennessee’s defense has surrendered seven passing touchdowns over its last three contests, often losing leverage in man coverage. Bernard’s knack for finding soft spots in the zone or winning one-on-one jump balls makes him a solid bet to find pay dirt again.
Tip: Germie Bernard anytime touchdown (+150)
- Bernard red-zone weapon
-
Tennessee secondary struggling
-
Simpson trusts him near goal line

Conclusion
Saturday’s rivalry clash should feature plenty of fireworks through the air. Ty Simpson and Joey Aguilar are both capable of pushing the pace, while DeSean Bishop’s ground presence keeps Tennessee balanced. Alabama’s offense has found its identity — efficient, explosive, and opportunistic — which opens doors for passing and touchdown props.
Expect a game script that leans on quarterback production, big-play potential, and red-zone precision — the perfect recipe for these four prop bets to deliver value.
