4 Best Player Props For Tennessee vs Oklahoma: Sampson, Burks, Tatum, Bauer

• Dylan Sampson’s rushing yards prop of 85.5 looks like a great bet, as he’s cleared this number in every game this season.
• Deion Burks’ receiving yards prop of 60.5 is an undervalued pick, with his high involvement in Oklahoma’s passing game making the over appealing.
• Taylor Tatum’s rushing yards prop is set at 23.5, but betting the under is a smart move given his limited touches against stronger defenses.
• Bauer Sharp’s receiving yards prop of 25.5 is a strong pick, as he’s consistently gaining 7-15 yards per catch and can hit the over with just a few looks.

NORMAN, Okla. – In a game with an over-under at 57 points and a spread of a touchdown, Tennessee is expected to beat Oklahoma 33-24 and cover the spread.

But the player props look nice for the picking in the Tennessee vs Oklahoma game, where seven touchdowns and five field goals could be the end result. While the CFB odds won’t be perfect, it can still give us a way to handicap the player props.

Dylan Sampson Prop Bets

When it comes to Tennessee, Dylan Sampson is the go-to guy. The TD with 9 rushing TDs on the year, he’s helped Tennessee put up at least 50 in every game.

But their weak schedule (Chattanooga, NC State, and Kent State) may have influenced his odds slightly.

• Sampson had seven touches (and a target) against Chattanooga on the first drive but didn’t see much action for the rest of the game.
  For Week 2 (NC State), Sampson earned six touches (and a TD) on the first two drives of the game. Coming out of halftime, he ran five teams on the team’s 10-play scoring drive.
• Against Kent State, another six touches went his way on the first two drives. A five-rush scoring drive on the fourth possession, Sampson barely saw the field again as the Volunteers went up 65-0 at halftime.

In every situation, Sampson has been the bell cow where Tennessee lets him dominate drives. With -330 odds to score a touchdown, the odds on Sampson for this prop are a little expensive. But, you can find a better option taking over his 85.5 rushing yards prop.

Clearing this number in every game this year (while playing in half of the drives or less), is a clear indication he should manage just fine. Those nervous about the cake schedule or tougher defense in Oklahoma can refer back to the 2023 Citrus Bowl vs Iowa where Sampson recorded 133 yards on 20 carries.

Deion Burks Player Props

The star of the show for Oklahoma, Deion Burks is heavily involved. Projected at 61 receiving yards, this accounts for only 25% of Jackson Arnold’s expected passing yardage (234 yards).

Catching about 35% of Arnold’s yards on the season (169 of 484), this number is too low to pass up.

Deion Burks Props – Receiving Yards

• Over 60.5 -110
• Under 60.5 -110

Keep in mind that he’s only broken this mark once this season, but did so another four times with Purdue last year. Still, with his high involvement (at least four catches in 11 of his 15 games), you have to expect Burks to get multiple looks.

With even odds to score a touchdown, the player props for Deion Burks at legal sports betting sites give you a few ways to get in on the action.

Best Player Prop For Taylor Tatum Vs Tennessee

Despite a box score that isn’t too shabby for a freshman, betting the unders of Taylor Tatum is the move for Saturday. At 23.5 yards projected of rushing, take the under here.

Against Temple, Tatum recorded one touch for four yards. His only touch of the game early on, Tatum accrued another four touches for 65 yards on the last drive of the game to make it 51-3.

Despite breaking off runs of 19 and 35 on this drive, it was a garbage time drive – something Oklahoma doesn’t seem to have in their fortune as touchdown underdogs.

Likewise, Tatum recorded another solo touch late in the third quarter against Houston – his only of the game. As for Tulane, Tatum held up 10 touches (9 rushes) and a touchdown throughout the game. But, Tatum was unable to break away, with eight of those touches going for four yards or less.

Against Tennessee’s rush defense, there is no point in hoping for the underdog’s backup running back to have a game.

Best Bauer Sharp Player Prop Vs Tennessee

The 6-foot-four TE target for Jackson Arnold is certainly undervalued at legal CFB sportsbooks. Able to get anywhere from 7-15 yards a play, all it takes is two or three looks for Sharp to hit the over.

Bauer Sharp Receiving Prop

• Over 25.5 yards -110
• Under 25.5 yards -110

While isn’t the first option, the Sooners seem to want to get Sharp an early touch, as he recorded a catch on the first drive of the Houston game and Temple game.

Those feeling a bit more risk can look at the odds for Bauer Sharp to score a TD (+290). While he only has one TD on the season, he was the first TD scorer of the Temple game, just four minutes into it.
