Today’s Best College Football Prop Bets

Anthony Colandrea Over 197.5 Passing Yards (-114)

Indiana vs. Nebraska (noon ET)

Anthony Colandrea has been one of the driving forces behind the Nebraska Cornhuskers‘ undefeated start, and I'm willing to back his passing volume against the Indiana Hoosiers.

Through five games, Colandrea has completed 94 of 143 passes for 1,142 yards and 13 touchdowns. That's good for 228.4 passing yards per game, and he's cleared 207 yards in four of his five starts.

His individual passing totals have been 275, 224, 195, 212, and 238 yards. Colandrea is also coming off one of his busiest games of the season, attempting 39 passes while throwing for 238 yards and three touchdowns against Maryland.

The game environment could work in our favor, too.

Indiana enters Saturday as a 7.5-point favorite. If Nebraska is playing from behind, Colandrea could be forced to lean more heavily on his arm than usual. The Cornhuskers have demonstrated that they're comfortable putting the offense in his hands, and his 39 attempts last week were easily a season high.

Indiana's defense is certainly a difficult matchup, so this isn't a pure matchup play. Instead, I'm betting on Colandrea's combination of efficiency and potential passing volume.

At a line of 197.5 yards, he doesn't need a monster performance to cash the over. He's already surpassed that number in 80% of his games this season, making the over my preferred side.

Arch Manning Under 210.5 Passing Yards (-114)

Texas vs. Oklahoma (3:30 p.m. ET)

The Red River Rivalry could be a difficult spot for Arch Manning through the air.

The Oklahoma Sooners‘ defense has been outstanding against opposing passing attacks this season. Through four games, the Sooners have surrendered only 122.5 passing yards per game while allowing opponents to complete just 51.9% of their attempts. They've given up only one passing touchdown all year.

That's an extremely tough matchup for Manning, whose passing production has been relatively modest this season.

Manning has thrown for 862 yards through four games, an average of 215.5 per contest, while completing 63.5% of his passes. His passing-yard prop of 210.5 is basically asking him to hit close to that average, which should be tough to do versus OU.

The overall game environment doesn't exactly scream shootout, either. The Texas-Oklahoma total is a lowly 38.5 points, a very low number for college football.

Considering Oklahoma's ability to limit explosive passes and Manning's current production, I'll take the under on 210.5 passing yards.

Gunner Stockton Under 206.5 Passing Yards (-114)

Georgia vs. Alabama (7:30 p.m. ET)

Gunner Stockton has been extremely efficient for the Georgia Bulldogs this season, but Saturday night's matchup with the Alabama Crimson Tide could make it difficult for him to pile up passing yards.

Through five games, Stockton has completed 77 of 102 passes for 1,049 yards and 13 touchdowns, averaging 209.8 passing yards per game.

That average sits just above this prop, but Stockton's game-by-game production makes the under more appealing. He's finished with 202, 234, 147, 171, and 295 passing yards, meaning he's stayed below 206.5 yards in three of five games — with the 295-yard day looking like an outlier.

Said 295-yard performance against Vanderbilt last week also came with a season-high 32 pass attempts. Prior to that game, Stockton had attempted 25 or fewer passes in every outing, and he's averaging just 20.4 attempts per game for the season.

That relatively modest passing volume is important against Alabama. Georgia has been comfortable playing a balanced style offensively, and Stockton hasn't regularly needed to carry the Bulldogs with his arm.

The matchup should also be far more challenging than last week's spot against Vanderbilt. If Alabama can limit explosive plays and force Georgia to sustain drives, Stockton may need unusually strong efficiency to clear this number without elevated volume.

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.
