    Saturday College Football Player Props

    Will Howard Over 2.5 Passing TDs (+194)

    Ryan Day wants to break the Ohio State Buckeyes’ losing streak to the rival Michigan Wolverines, and if given the chance, he will run up the score. That means attacking Michigan’s biggest weakness, which is currently the secondary.

    It’s tough to predict which receivers will score, but I like Day to be aggressive, allowing Will Howard to throw even late in an already-decided blowout.

    LaNorris Sellers Over 197.5 Passing Yards

    While the South Carolina Gamecocks will attempt to control the clock and run the ball, don’t underestimate LaNorris Sellers’ ability to throw. He’s averaging over 11 yards per attempt in his last four games, and the South Carolina passing offense has explosive capabilities.

    Either the Gamecocks can run the ball effectively and mix in the pass to try to run up the score and impress the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, or the Gamecocks throw the ball more while playing from behind. Either way, Sellers can get to his total.

    Dylan Sampson Over 106.5 Rushing Yards

    While the Vanderbilt Commodores want to shorten the game and limit possessions, they also play primarily in a two-high shell. That forces offenses to take what the defense has given them, often four or five-yard runs. The Tennessee Volunteers and Dylan Sampson are probably okay playing this way.

    Typically, we like our running backs to have a couple of huge runs to get to their rushing total, but here, expect Sampson to get a bunch of carries with consistent success. That should be enough to put him over 106.5 yards.

    Bryson Washington Over 104.5 Rushing Yards

    The Baylor Bears have found consistent success in recent weeks as a run-first, multiple offense. We might have the rare run-heavy shootout on Saturday, meaning Bryson Washington should hit some big runs.

    Baylor has been stubborn in the running game, and that should serve the Bears well on Saturday. Expect Washington to break off a 20-yarder or two to eat into this number.

    Bryson Daily Under 80.5 Passing Yards

    The UTSA Roadrunners vs. Army Black Knights should be a proper “Service Academy Special.” Expect Army to run the clock down and try to sit in the ball the whole game.

    The last time the Black Knights faced a high-scoring AAC offense, Bryson Daily attempted four passes against the North Texas Mean Green. Expect a similar script in this one as Army tries to protect its defense. Unless the Black Knights hit a long touchdown pass or two, Daily’s passing under should hit.

    Behren Morton 300+ Passing Yards (+120)

    The West Virginia Mountaineers defense has struggled this season, and Behren Morton and the Texas Tech Red Raiders offense have the firepower to put up some big numbers Saturday.

    The sportsbooks have shorter odds on the touchdown props but are less bullish on Morton’s passing yardage. In what could be a shootout, back the Texas Tech quarterback.

    Tyler Shough Under 244.5 Passing Yards

    Either the Louisville Cardinals run through the Kentucky Wildcats’ front seven, or they struggle to move the ball and Tyler Shough doesn’t put up big numbers.

    Either way, I really like the under here. Nothing is a guarantee, but I don’t see many game-script options that involve Shough throwing enough and finding enough success to hit his number.

    Jayden Maiava Under 240.5 Passing Yards

    I think backup quarterback theory is at play here in that the sportsbooks still expect Jayden Maiava to perform to the level of his first start of the year, even against superior defenses. Maiava really struggled to get anything going last week against the UCLA Bruins.

    Now, he faces an even better defense in the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. I just don’t see him getting to this number against a much better team, even if the USC Trojans play from behind.

    Brady Cook 250+ Passing Yards (+142)

    I foresee the Arkansas Razorbacks’ defense having some success against the Missouri Tigers’ rushing attack. That will force the offense to pivot to Brady Cook’s arm, which isn’t a bad second option.

    Cook hasn’t had to be great recently, but he’s still been efficient. When forced to throw, I think he can have a huge game.

    Cam Coleman 90+ Receiving Yards (+310)

    The Auburn Tigers offense has finally found some rhythm by throwing to their all-world freshman. Yet, Cam Coleman’s standard receiving total is under 50 yards.

    I’m going with a riskier alternate over for Coleman against an Alabama Crimson Tide defense that struggles to cover the deep ball. He’s easily surpassed this mark in back-to-back weeks, and I like the extra juice.

    Noah Fifita Under 247.5 Passing Yards

    The Arizona State Sun Devils will do their best to control the clock and keep an explosive but inconsistent Arizona Wildcats offense off the field on Saturday.

    I also think the Sun Devils defense will play back and keep all of Noah Fifita’s damage to underneath throws. That should make it difficult for Fifita to hit his over.

    Drew Allar Under 241.5 Passing Yards

    Drew Allar only has big games if his rushing attack isn’t working. The Penn State Nittany Lions shouldn’t have any trouble running all over the Maryland Terrapins, so Allar won’t need to air it out much.

    Especially as the Nittany Lions gear up for a playoff game, don’t expect them to try to run up the score. They should instead prioritize winning and leaving Happy Valley completely healthy.

    Aidan Chiles Under 203.5 Passing Yards

    It will be 30 degrees and windy in East Lansing on Saturday. More than that, it’s not like Aidan Chiles has consistently hit this mark this season, surpassing this number just once in his last four games.

    This is likely a rushing-heavy possession-based game, and Chiles could find more success on the ground than through the air.

    Kyle McCord Over 324.5 Passing Yards

    Kyle McCord has the highest passing rate in the country and faces a poor passing defense while likely in a negative game script for most of the afternoon.

    The Syracuse Orange and Miami Hurricanes will play one of the higher-scoring games of the day, so there will be overs aplenty. I prefer McCord’s to Cam Ward’s here, but both should be aggressive as each is gunning for the regular season passing title.
