- Alabama freshman receiver Ryan Williams is a top ReliaQuest Bowl prop pick.
- Check out our top prop picks you should bet at BetUS Sportsbook.
Neither Alabama nor Michigan had their sights set on playing in the ReliaQuest Bowl at the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There will be some key players opting out of Tuesday’s bowl game. The college football odds list the Crimson Tide as the betting favorite as the first season with Kalen DeBoer as the Alabama head coach comes to an end.

The Wolverines and the Crimson Tide haven’t met in the regular season since 2012. However, this is the third time the teams square off in a bowl game in the last six seasons. Three of the last four games between Alabama and Michigan went over the total. That could bode well for those considering the Alabama vs Michigan player prop options.
Alabama is favored by 14 points with -575 odds to win outright compared to +440 odds for the Wolverines to win for the second time in a row as a double-digit underdog.
Let’s break down some props to consider when making college football predictions between two teams that fell short of returning to the College Football Playoffs.

3 Alabama vs Michigan Prop Picks to Bet
1. Ryan Williams to Be Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+110)
Alabama’s Ryan Williams had left quite the first impression with two catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns in his first collegiate game. In a win over Georgia, he showed that he can play his best when the lights are the brightest with six catches for 177 yards.
Per Alabama vs Michigan stats, he hasn’t had a 100-yard game since but he will be facing a secondary that won’t have shutdown cornerback Will Johnson so perhaps he can finish his freshman season with an impressive showing against the reigning national champions.

Williams doesn’t figure to be at Alabama for too long with a career in the NFL waiting. This could be a showcase for the Alabama native to show the country how special he is. Don’t be surprised to see Williams find his way into the end zone when making ReliaQuest Bowl picks.

2. Davis Warren Over 131+ Passing Yards (-113)
Without Colston Loveland and Tyler Morris to throw the ball to, good luck figuring out which of the Michigan pass catchers will emerge in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
Top running backs Kalel Mullings and Donovan Edwards will also be sitting this one out as well.

Michigan used three different quarterbacks this season but it is the Davis Warren show now. He is not much of a threat in the running game so take a look at the passing yards and touchdown options for your online bets.

3. Jalen Milroe Anytime TD Scorer (-251)
While the ratio of 15 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions is not very impressive, there were plenty of other strong numbers for Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe.
He completed 66% of his passes even though the top three pass catchers off last year’s team headed elsewhere. Jermaine Burton landed with the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals while receiver Isaiah Bond and tight end Amari Niblack transferred to Texas.
He also ran for 20 touchdowns and Army’s Bryson Daily was the only quarterback at the Football Bowl Subdivision to have more. We like Milroe to be the first touchdown scorer so include that along with anytime scorer as Alabama vs Michigan best bets to consider.
It remains to be seen how many snaps Alabama will give to its star quarterback so going with an early touchdown could be a smart play.
