College Football Player Props for This Week

Aidan Chiles Under 211.5 Passing Yards (-114)

Northwestern at Oregon — 3:30 p.m. ET

Aidan Chiles is coming off a strong performance, but this 211.5-yard line gives us an opportunity to back the under against the Oregon Ducks.

Chiles has thrown for 219 or fewer yards in four of his last five games, and his passing production has been somewhat volatile throughout the season. His ability as a runner also gives the Northwestern Wildcats another avenue for moving the football.

That rushing ability could actually work in our favor. Northwestern doesn't need Chiles to carry the offense exclusively through the air, and Oregon's defensive front should make it difficult to sustain an extremely efficient passing attack.

At 211.5 yards, I think we're getting enough cushion to side with the under.

Anthony Evans III Over 4.5 Receptions (-172)

Mississippi State at Texas — 7:30 p.m. ET

Anthony Evans III has been one of the most consistent pass-catchers for the Mississippi State Bulldogs this season, averaging 7.6 receptions and 92.4 receiving yards per game through seven outings.

Evans has recorded at least six receptions in all seven of his games this season, giving him an extremely high floor in the reception market. He has also seen double-digit targets in three games, so the volume is clearly there.

The matchup with the Texas Longhorns should create opportunities for another busy performance. Mississippi State enters as a significant underdog (+20.5), which could force the offense to throw frequently throughout the game. Evans' combination of target volume and catch rate makes 4.5 receptions an appealing threshold.

Jeremiah Smith Over 93.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

Ohio State at USC — 7:30 p.m. ET

Jeremiah Smith's 93.5-yard receiving line is high, but the Ohio State Buckeyes’ superstar has already shown that he can clear it against elite competition.

Smith enters this matchup with 984 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns through seven games. He has gone over 93.5 yards four times, including three games with at least 164 yards. His season average of 140.6 receiving yards is also well above this number.

Smith should remain the focal point of Ohio State's passing game against the USC Trojans. Even with a backup QB under center for the Buckeyes, Smith's combination of target volume and big-play ability gives him plenty of paths to another 100-yard performance.

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.
