Auburn Tigers vs. #9 Texas A&M Aggies NCAA Football Player Props
Mario Craver leads Texas A&M with four receiving touchdowns this season
Best Bet: Mario Craver (A&M) Anytime Touchdown (+145) BetOnline
Mario Craver has certified himself as the Aggies’ number one pass catching option, even with the addition of KC Concepcion. Through three games, Craver leads Texas A&M with 20 receptions, accounting for over 34% of Marcel Reed’s completions. He also has 40% of the team’s receiving touchdowns (4/10), and has over 45.7% of their receiving yards, leading the Aggies with 443. Clearly, he is the go-to guy for Texas A&M.
The Aggies’ receiver has had a minimum of five catches for 114 yards and a touchdown in every game, and is coming off a huge performance in South Bend. Craver had seven receptions for over 200 receiving yards and found the end zone against Notre Dame, and I bet he keeps it up against a bad Auburn secondary.
The Tigers’ have gotten torched so far this year by top receivers, letting the Baylor Bears and Oklahoma Sooners pass catchers go for at least eight receptions and 127 yards per contest. Auburn ranks No. 72 in opponent completion percentage (62.7%) and No. 77 in opponent yards per pass attempt (7.4). Marcel Reed is playing as good as any quarterback in the country right now, and I definitely see him connecting with his favorite target for another TD this weekend.
Also worth noting, six of the seven touchdowns allowed by Auburn’s defense have been through the air. Craver will add to that total this Saturday.
#25 BYU Cougars vs. Colorado Buffaloes NCAA Football Player Props
LJ Martin has ran for triple digits in every game so far this season
Best Bet: LJ Martin (BYU) Over 96.5 Rushing Yards (-114) BetOnline
LJ Martin is one of the most underrated running backs so far this season. He is not getting as much attention as some other rushers, given the fact that BYU plays in the Big 12 and isn’t necessarily a marquee program in college football. But that shouldn’t take away from this guy’s performance so far this season.
Last year, LJ Martin had 16 carries for 88 yards and two touchdowns against the Buffs in the Alamo Bowl, and despite only clearing this line twice last season, things are much different. Last year, BYU had Jake Retzlaff at quarterback, who is plenty of a rushing threat. Now, they trot out Bear Bachmeier, who is much less mobile and relies on his backs to establish the running game. I expect BYU to be leading in this contest, making me believe they will feed their running back and pound the ball down Colorado’s throats.
Plus, Colorado’s rushing defense is horrendous. They gave up 112 rushing yards on 23 carries to Georgia Tech running backs, and also let Haynes King (QB) run for 156 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns. Against Houston, the Cougar’s backs went for 124 yards on 31 carries, and Connor Weigman (QB) had 22 rushes for 89 yards and a touchdown. I am not worried about Bachmeier poaching any yards from his stud running back.
Martin is a work horse going for triple digit rushing yards in every contest, doing so in as little as eight carries, and averaging 8.6 yards per rush. I expect him to see plenty of touches, certainly enough to get over this number and likely run for over 100 yards again.
