Carson Beck and the Hurricanes snuck their way into the College Football Playoff - College Football Playoff Preview

Player Props! Get your NCAA Football Player Props! Despite having our best college football betting week last Saturday, we unfortunately missed both of our player props. Time to regroup and get back after it with some more player performance wagers this weekend. Historically speaking, we have had success each season with these bets, going 24-23 for +2.65u in 2023, and 32-30 +0.81u last year on college football player props. Let’s see if we can keep it up!

So far this season we’ve had a little bit of success, but let’s try to build on it.

  • NCAA Football Player Prop YTD
  • 9-8 (56.3%)
  • +0.26u

Wisconsin Badgers vs. #20 Michigan Wolverines NCAA Football Player Props

Bryce Underwood has shown he can make plays with his legs - NCAA Football Player Props

Bryce Underwood has shown he can make plays with his legs

Best Bet: Bryce Underwood (MICH) Over 33.5 Rushing Yards (-114) BetOnline

Bryce Underwood is due for a breakout game offensively, and against Wisconsin, this could be it. He’s cleared this line in his past two games, only taking one sack and carrying the ball at least eight times in both contests. Over the last two games, Underwood has had a total of 17 rush attempts for 175 yards, averaging over 10 yards per carry.

A true dual threat, Underwood finally showed he can make some plays with his legs, and I think he keeps it up against the Badgers. He’s only been sacked four times this season, giving me confidence that he’ll escape if the pocket collapses.

The Badgers have given up at least a nine yard rush to three of the four quarterbacks they’ve faced, including a 19 yarder to Ty Simpson (who is nowhere near as mobile as Underwood). I have faith in the Michigan offensive line to protect Underwood from being brought down in the backfield, and with plenty of clock to chew (assuming they build a lead), the QB should have tons of chances to clear this line for us.

#14 Iowa State Cyclones vs. Cincinnati Bearcats NCAA Football Player Props

Brett Eskildsen is a deep ball threat for the Cyclones this season - NCAA Football Player Props

Brett Eskildsen is a deep ball threat for the Cyclones this season

Best Bet: Brett Eskildsen (ISU) Over 26.5 Receiving Yards (-115) BetOnline

This guy has proven to be the Cyclones top receiver so far this season, and we are getting a discount because Chase Sowell is finally fully healthy. But don’t be fooled, I think Eskildsen can still get his.

He is Iowa State’s top deep ball threat and he’s shown out in every contest. He is one of four Cyclone pass catchers with double digit receptions this year and he leads the team with 216 receiving yards so far this season. The sophomore wide out has caught at least two passes in all four matchups this year, clearing this line in all four games with ease. Eskildsen has had 46, 77, 39 and 54 receiving yards in each game this year, clearing our 26.5 number on his longest reception in 3/4 games as well.

Switching gears to the Cincinnati defensive side of things, their secondary is horrendous. They are the second worst team in the country in opponent completion percentage, ranking No. 135 out of 136 teams, letting opposing quarterbacks complete over 75% of their passes. They are also bottom 15 in yards per pass allowed (9.0), bottom six in passing yards allowed per game (320.7), and bottom 25 in opponent pass play percentage (because teams are well aware they can have success through the air).

All we are asking is for a deep ball threat to do much less than he already has this season (in every game) against the worst secondary he’s seen so far, and a bottom 10 secondary overall (probably).

#3 Miami Hurricanes vs. #18 Florida State Seminoles NCAA Football Player Props

Can Carson Beck lead the Hurricanes to another dominating win? NCAA Football Player Props

Can Carson Beck lead the Hurricanes to another dominating win?

Best Bet: Carson Beck (MIA) Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-155) BetOnline

Carson Beck is going to show out for the Hurricanes. They are well rested, coming off a bye, and I am convinced they are the real deal. I’ll admit, I certainly had my doubts, but from what I’ve seen so far out of Miami, they are well on their way to an ACC Championship and a College Football Playoff appearance. But, they still gotta win this game.

If this is too juicy for you, see if you can find him around -145 (like I did in my Same Game Parlay), or just pair him with Miami’s ML. They know how much is at stake in this contest, as the rest of the season could be a walk in the park.

Beck cleared this line in three games prior to facing Florida, and the Seminole’s secondary hasn’t been all that great. Even though they beat Alabama, Ty Simpson still has 254 passing yards and two touchdowns without throwing a pick. Sure, Chandler Morris threw three picks in the Cavaliers’ victory, but he still completed over 74% of his passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns as well.
