Tennessee at Auburn prop bet predictions
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 2:20 a.m. ET.
1st half total OVER 24.5 points (-115)
In the past four games, Auburn’s offense has been on fire in the first 30 minutes. The Tigers piled up a 21-3 lead in a rout of LSU last time out, and they have posted at least 14 points in each of the past four while seeing an average of 28.5 total points during the span. In Tennessee’s six games, it has seen a total of 161 points in the first half, which is an average of 26.8 total points per game. Look for another first-half Over result for both of these teams.
Auburn -3.5 1st quarter line (-106)
The Tigers were blanked in last week’s first quarter before coming alive in the second and beyond against LSU. Over the past four outings Auburn has outscored the opposition 26-0 in the first quarter as the defense has been running hot early. On the flip side, Tennessee has been outscored 45-30 in the past three games in the first quarter. Look for the Vols to get off to another sluggish start here.

Tennessee UNDER 20.5 total points (-129)
The Volunteers started off well in their first two contests, averaging 33.0 PPG in a pair of wins over South Carolina and Missouri. But the Vols have had a power outage in the previous three outings, going for seven in a blowout loss at home against Kentucky (Oct. 17), just 17 in a rout at home against Alabama (Oct. 24) and just 13 points in a road setback at Arkansas last time out (Nov. 7). Until Tennessee can figure out where the gas pedal is again, keep thumping the Under on its team totals.
Auburn UNDER 29.5 total points (+110)
The Tigers at plus-money on this prop is a steal. Yes, they spanked LSU last week by a 48-11 score in a battle of the Tigers, and they have scored 30 or more points in three of the past four. However, overall the Tigers are averaging just 28.3 PPG this season.
Alternate parlay line: Auburn -7.5 and UNDER 55.5 points (+160)
Not quite sure I am feeling the Tigers to lay double digits, as I still don’t trust QB Bo Nix. In six games, he has completed just over 60 percent of his passes for 1,407 yards with 9 touchdowns against 4 interceptions. Those numbers are rather pedestrian. But I do like the Tigers to win by at least 8 on their home field. As mentioned, the Volunteers have been struggling offensively. Expect a quick start in the first half before the defenses show up and shut things down, too.
