College football Saturday is here! Week 13 brings us a Big Ten clash with title game implications as the Ohio State Buckeyes battle the Indiana Hoosiers, while it truly does “Just Mean More” as the race to the SEC title game plays out with several marquee matchups taking place throughout the day.
Looking to cash in on a hectic Saturday of action but unsure of where to direct your hard-earned dollars? Step this way for the best college football player props today, starting with one for every available game in the Noon ET window.
Saturday College Football Player Props
Quentin Skinner 50+ Receiving Yards (+110)
I think Quentin Skinner may be suffering too much from the Travis Hunter effect with his receiving prop. The Kansas Jayhawks wide receiver has gone over 50 yards in his last three games, all against teams statistically much better against the pass than the Colorado Buffaloes.
However, Skinner’s traditional receiving total is just 45.5. I like him to go a bit above that and I’m willing to risk a loss for the better odds.
Colston Loveland Anytime Touchdown (+170)
The Northwestern Wildcats aren’t very good. Of course, the same could be said about the Michigan Wolverines, but Colston Loveland has at least put up some good numbers. The Wildcats are decent against the run in the red zone, so back Michigan’s only decent pass-catcher to score at strong plus odds.
Josh Kattus Anytime Touchdown (+1400)
How about a touchdown scorer with extremely lengthy odds to mix in with your less risky bets for the afternoon? Josh Kattus is a regular starter who has become a bigger part of the passing game in recent weeks on a struggling red zone offense.
I’m not here to tell you he’s going to score, but I am here to tell you that FanDuel’s odds are nearly double what you’ll find elsewhere in the market.
Dante Dowdell Anytime Touchdown (-120)
There’s not much to like from this game, but I do like Dante Dowdell to score for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and the odds aren’t bad at all. It’s not my favorite of the college football player props today, but if you want a rooting interest, here’s an easy way to do that.
Nyziah Hunter Over 40.5 Receiving Yards
This is a low number for a guy who’s put up at least 42 receiving yards in three straight games. Nyziah Hunter also has a favorable matchup against a struggling Stanford Cardinal defense. I like his over here, as I think the California Golden Bears will throw early and often.
Jake Retzlaff 25+ Rushing Yards
The BYU Cougars offense has struggled in recent weeks, and I think it’s because Jake Retzlaff hasn’t used his legs enough. He’s being too patient in the pocket and isn’t running when there’s a crease. He should be more aggressive this week, and I like him to his rushing total, perhaps only on a few carries.
Drew Allar Under 1.5 Passing Touchdowns
The Minnesota Golden Gophers are going to muddy this game up and really take away all of the easy yardage for the Penn State Nittany Lions. I expect either Kaytron Allen or Nicholas Singleton to benefit when the Nittany Lions get close to the goal line.
Allar might throw the ball between the 20s, but as Penn State gets closer to the end zone, I think the play-calling will get more conservative, pushing Allar under on his touchdown prop.
Garrett Greene Over 60.5 Rushing Yards
Garrett Greene is just coming back from injury, but that didn’t stop him from rushing for over 125 yards last week. I think Greene tries to get going again by keeping the ball on the ground against a questionable UCF Knights front.
Desmond Reid Under 71.5 Rushing Yards
The Louisville Cardinals’ front is excellent, and the Cardinals might be looking to get out to an early lead after squandering the game against Stanford. If the Pittsburgh Panthers’ offensive line struggles early, I’m not sure Desmond Reid gets going at all.
Brady Cook 250+ Passing Yards (+150)
I like mixing in Brady Cook’s alternate over as a higher odds offering in the afternoon slate. Cook was excellent against South Carolina last week, even if the stat sheet doesn’t necessarily show it.
This week, he has a much more favorable matchup, and the Missouri Tigers’ offense should be able to do whatever it wants. That probably involves a bit more in the passing game than we’ve seen.
Emeka Egbuka 50+ Receiving Yards
Indiana has excelled defensively by removing opponents’ top options. Unfortunately for the Hoosiers, the Buckeyes have more than one option, and Emeka Egbuka could benefit from extra eyes on Jeremiah Smith.
The Hoosiers keep everything in front of them, meaning Egbuka could get a bunch of targets underneath, which he should convert into decent yardage.
Jaxson Dart 325+ Passing Yards (+170)
While I’ve grown to appreciate the Florida Gators against the backdrop of a brutal schedule, the secondary still isn’t great, and Jaxson Dart is still elite.

I love the high odds for Dart’s alternate over, but his standard total is set at 297.5, a number I obviously like him to clear. Here’s your chance to take a slightly riskier shot in the early slate.
Brashard Smith 99+ Rushing Yards
The SMU Mustangs have really hit their stride, with Kevin Jennings as the quarterback and Brashsard Smith as the main rusher. Smith has eclipsed 100 yards in his last three games and has a very favorable matchup against the Virginia Cavaliers.
Jacolby Criswell Under 217.5 Passing Yards
It will be cold, wet, and windy in Chestnut Hill on Saturday. The sportsbooks seem to understand this when it comes to Omarion Hampton’s rushing totals, as those are extremely high, but there’s still value in Jacolby Criswell’s passing under.
I don’t think the North Carolina Tar Heels will fall far behind in this game, so I don’t think they will be forced to pass in the elements. Accordingly, take Criswell to go under a fairly high number, given the weather.
Taylor Morin Over 50+ Receiving Yards
The college football player prop markets continue to treat the Miami Hurricanes’ defense as if it’s good. The Miami offensive players are appropriately given large prop totals, but a few Wake Forest Demon Deacons have lower prop totals.
Taylor Morin should go over 50 yards as the Demon Deacons attempt to win in a shootout, so I love this number.
Oronde Gadsden 55+ Receiving Yards
Kyle McCord’s passing prop is extremely high, as oddsmakers expect him to throw the ball a lot, while LeQuint Allen’s rushing prop is the highest it’s been all season.

But Oronde Gadsden’s receiving prop isn’t a huge number and I think that’s the weakness in the market here. Expect the big tight end-receiver hybrid to have a big game.
Luke Altmyer Anytime Touchdown (+180)
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have struggled in recent weeks but the defense still doesn’t give up a lot of big plays. Accordingly, when teams score against them, it’s usually from the red zone.
Luke Altmyer doesn’t use his legs often, but when he does, it’s usually strategically near the end zone. I don’t love much from this game, but I wouldn’t mind sprinkling Altmyer’s touchdown prop.
Kaleb Johnson 120+ Rushing Yards
When the Iowa Hawkeyes and Maryland Terrapins meet, I think it could be one of those frustrating, low-scoring games for the Maryland offense. The best defense against a team that can sling it around is to control the clock with the ground game when on offense.
Because of this, I think Kaleb Johnson could get 20-plus carries for the Hawkeyes and can break off a few longer runs to hit his over, which is moving up.
Quali Conley Over 61.5 Rushing Yards
I will continue to take running back overs against the TCU Horned Frogs’ awful rush defense. Quali Conley has gone far over this number against every below-average defense he’s faced and should do it again on Saturday.
