College Football Betting Sites
Betting on player props is always a great option when it comes to college football, especially in bowl games. Here are the five best NCAAF player prop picks to make this Saturday.
Jawhar Jordan Under 91.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
Cincinnati vs. Louisville Picks
The first match-up of the day on Saturday will feature the Cincinnati Bearcats facing off against the Louisville Cardinals. There are plenty of storylines surrounding this game, but you will also find some great prop betting opportunities.
Jawhar Jordan leads the Cardinals in rushing with 700 total yards, but he won’t find a ton of running lanes in this game. Bet on the under 91.5 rushing yards as Cincinnati comes up with some big stops on defense.
Jack Miller Under 189.5 Passing Yards (-115)
Florida vs. Oregon State Picks
The Florida Gators are set to meet up with the Oregon State Beavers in Las Vegas and this game has some hype surrounding it. One thing that does take away some steam is the fact that Florida will be using backup quarterback Jack Miller.
Miller is replacing Anthony Richardson who is sitting out to prepare for the NFL Draft and that’s a big loss for Florida. Look for the Gators to try to run the football a ton and that will keep the passing total for Miller under 189.5 yards in this game.
Frank Gore Jr. Over 88.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
The Rice Owls and the Southern Miss Golden Eagles meet in the LendingTree Bowl. This is a match-up that won’t generate a ton of interest. These two teams have both struggled of late and neither of them has been dominant this season.
Frank Gore Jr. has had an impressive season for USM running the football and he should get plenty of carries in this game. Bet on the Golden Eagles running back to have at least 89 yards on Saturday.
Austin Aune Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-115)
North Texas vs. Boise State Picks
North Texas and Boise State are set to meet up in the Frisco Bowl on Saturday night for the last game of the day. If you are a fan of offense then this is going to be the game that you are going to want to focus on.
Austin Aune had a huge season for the Mean Green during the regular season as he threw for 32 touchdowns. North Texas will be trying to keep pace with a good Boise State team and Aune is going to throw for at least two touchdowns in this game.
Cameron Ward Anytime TD Scorer (+120)
Washington State vs. Fresno State Picks
Washington State quarterback Cameron Ward threw for 23 touchdowns this season and he should have a big game against Fresno State. The Cougars don’t score a ton of points, but Ward is usually in the mix every time that they do find the endzone.
You should expect to see the Cougars in the red zone plenty of times in this game and that means that Ward will have the ball in his hands a ton. Bet on Ward to score a touchdown at some point in this game.
