College Football Player Props for This Week

Dante Moore Over 269.5 Passing Yards (-114)

Oregon at Oklahoma State (12 p.m. ET)

Dante Moore couldn't have asked for a much better statistical start to his 2026 campaign.

The Oregon Ducks‘ quarterback completed 28 of 37 passes for 378 yards and three touchdowns against Boise State, averaging 10.2 yards per attempt. It was the highest single-game passing total of Moore's college career.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys‘ defense looks vulnerable enough for Moore to keep rolling. The Cowboys lost 24-10 to Tulsa in their opener, and while they held up reasonably well on third downs, Tulsa averaged 9.5 yards per completion. Oklahoma State also failed to record a sack.

There is some blowout risk with Oregon favored by more than three touchdowns, but the Ducks may do plenty of damage through the air before game script becomes an issue. Oregon threw 38 passes in its opener, and Moore has a deep collection of playmakers at his disposal.

Keelon Russell Over 49.5 Rushing Yards (-114)

Alabama at Kentucky (3:30 p.m. ET)

Keelon Russell's first game as the Alabama Crimson Tide starting quarterback showed us that his rushing ability should be a major component of the Tide's offense.

Russell ran 13 times for 86 yards and a touchdown in Alabama's 48-10 season-opening victory over East Carolina. That worked out to 6.6 yards per attempt, and he actually led Alabama in rushing despite the Tide playing from ahead throughout the afternoon and QB sacks counting as negative rushing yards.

The Kentucky Wildcats should provide a much tougher test, but that may actually be beneficial for this prop. Russell is unlikely to spend most of the second half handing the ball off while Alabama protects an enormous lead, and his scrambling ability could become especially important in his first SEC road start.

The potential for designed runs combined with scrambles gives Russell multiple paths to get beyond 50 yards. After seeing Russell handle 13 carries in his debut, I'm comfortable backing the over at this number.

DeSean Bishop Over 94.5 Rushing Yards (-114)

Tennessee at Georgia Tech (7:00 p.m. ET)

In the Tennessee Volunteers‘ opener, DeSean Bishop picked up right where he left off last season.

After rushing for 1,076 yards and 16 touchdowns while averaging 5.9 yards per carry in 2025, Bishop handled 14 carries for 97 yards and a score against Furman last week. He's now topped 1,000 rushing yards dating back to the start of last season while remaining the centerpiece of Tennessee's backfield.

Saturday should also provide a better environment for Bishop's workload. Tennessee cruised to a 56-9 win over Furman, which allowed the Vols to spread 47 rushing attempts across several players. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets should force Tennessee to keep its starters involved much deeper into this game.

The Vols are still 11.5-point favorites, so there is also a favorable potential second-half script for Bishop. He needed only 14 attempts to reach 97 yards last week, and a workload closer to the upper teens would give him a strong opportunity to surpass this number.

I'll back Bishop to get to at least 95 rushing yards.

Bo Jackson Over 56.5 Rushing Yards (-116)

Ohio State at Texas (7:30 p.m. ET)

The Ohio State Buckeyes-Texas Longhorns clash is one of the marquee regular-season contests of 2026, and Bo Jackson could play a major role in determining the outcome.

Jackson needed only nine carries to rack up 83 rushing yards in Ohio State's season opener, averaging a ridiculous 9.2 yards per attempt while scoring once versus Ball State. A 65-yard run inflated that average, but the performance reinforced the explosive ability Jackson showed throughout 2025.

The matchup with Texas is obviously a massive step up in competition compared to Ball State, so Jackson’s efficiency should come down. But that's partly accounted for by a rushing line sitting in the mid 50s.

The bigger selling point is potential volume. A close contest should keep Jackson involved for four quarters. He doesn't need anything close to last week's 9.2 yards per carry to clear this number if his workload climbs into the 12-to-15-carry range.

With Ohio State likely looking to take some pressure off Julian Sayin in a difficult road environment, Jackson's rushing volume makes the over appealing.

College Football Prop Betting FAQ

What are college football player props?

Player props are wagers based on an individual player's performance rather than the final score of the game. Common examples include passing yards, rushing yards, receiving yards, touchdowns, and completions.

What should you look for when betting college football player props?

Usage and matchup are two of the biggest factors. Bettors should consider snap share, carries, targets, quarterback tendencies, game script, opponent strength, and whether a player's recent production is supported by a consistent workload.

Are college football player props available for every game?

No. Sportsbooks typically offer more player props for nationally televised games and matchups involving major programs, while smaller games may have fewer markets available. Also, college player props are not allowed in some states where sports betting is legal.
