It’s a new era of sports betting and we’re here to give you the best player props across the nation for Week 6 in college football. There’s money to be had, let’s get after it.
Absolute Best Player Props for College Football Week 6
Jalen Milroe Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-205)
No, last week was no fluke for this Alabama offense. Jalen Milroe has been steadily increasing his passing abilities in front of our eyes and he’s taken that proverbial next step in his game. He has arguably the strongest arm in the country and the Vanderbilt secondary has been suspect this season since their hot start.
Georgia State’s Christian Veilleux threw for 3 scores and over 250 yards, while Missouri’s Brady Cook tossed two touchdowns and over 225 yards. The yards may not come because Alabama may take the air out of the ball early in this one, but Milroe will be given ample opportunities to find the air with his arm.
Ollie Gordon II Over 80 Rushing Yards (-135)
We know what you’re thinking — Ollie Gordon has had a disappointing season to date in 2024. So why bet the over for his rushing yards now? The reason is two-fold.
Despite his tremendous success last year from Week 4 onward, Gordon’s national breakout game didn’t come until Week 8. The matchup in that team? West Virginia. The stat line in that game? 282 yards and 4 TD.
It’s not as easy as saying ‘Gordon ran for this many yards against WVU last year, so he’ll repeat that this year’ in college football, so you have to also compare what the Mountaineers have done defensively this season.
In every game against FBS competition this season, WVU has allowed at least 4.5 yards per carry. And star rushers have gashed the West Virginia defense to the tune of Devin Neal going for 110 and Nicholas Singleton going for 114.
Gordon’s get-right game is now.
Kurtis Rourke Over 232 Passing Yards (-120)
It’s been a revelation of a season for the Indiana Hoosiers and QB Kurtis Rourke. The former Ohio signal-caller has had a tremendous season and ever since the season-opener, has totaled at least 250 passing yards in each game.
Northwestern has given up its fair share of chunk plays and has been susceptible to plays over the middle of the field, where Rourke thrives. The short, intermediate and quick passing game employed by the Hoosiers’ offense opens up single coverage opportunities on the outside, but Rourke has been on time and on schedule over the middle on in-breaking routes all season long.
In fact, of Rourke’s passing yards this season, 830 or 60.5% of his yards have come on throws over the middle. Northwestern has allowed 154 yards (Washington), 198 yards (Duke), and 111 yards (Miami-OH) over the middle this season against Power competition.
Rourke keeps it rolling over the middle for the Hoosiers.
Rocco Becht Over 1.5 passing touchdowns (+120)
Iowa State QB Rocco Becht has thrown for two touchdowns in all but one outing this season, a slight hiccup against Houston a week prior. However, after Houston’s defensive beatdown of TCU on Friday night, that Becht performance looks a lot better on paper.
Becht’s opponent in Week 6 has allowed multiple touchdowns to every FBS team they’ve played (save for Air Force, but that doesn’t count in this scenario). Baylor allowed Shedeur Sanders to throw for 341 and 2 TDs, Cam Rising to throw for 92 yards and 2 TD despite an injury, and most recently allowed BYU QB Jake Retzlaff to throw for 216 and 2 TD.
The Cyclones are ready for a national statement game, and this includes Becht airing it out against a talented secondary.
Alex Orji Anytime Touchdown (+230)
If the Michigan Wolverines want to pull off the ‘upset’ against Washington, you better believe it will be Alex Orji’s legs that help propel them in Week 6. In a later window, single-game parlay this with the Michigan moneyline to juice it even further if you want as the CFN Football Playoff Meter actually gives the Wolverines a 3-point advantage to win outright.
Orji has struggled to throw the ball consistently and though he hasn’t scored on the ground this season, he’s still averaging 10 carries a game in his two starts, most of which have been designed touches to get him in space and use his legs.
Rewind back to the Apple Cup, against a true dual-threat but specifically talented with his legs, Washington State QB John Mateer ran for 68 yards and 2 TDs against Washington for an example of what Orji could do on the ground.
Kyle Monangai Under 88.5 Rush Yards (-105)
In all but one game this year, the Nebraska defense has allowed fewer than 3.7 yards per carry. The game they allowed more than that came against Illinois, and even then, they held Kaden Feagin to under 70 yards on the ground.

Kyle Monangai and the Rutgers offensive line is the best unit that the Nebraska defensive front will face this season, but that can be said the opposite way, as the Nebraska defensive line is a different kind of unit than the Scarlet Knights have seen. It’s always a sweat to back an under, but if the math has proven anything this year, it’s that the Cornhuskers have been dominant up front.
