Another week has come and gone, which means we’ve arrived at another college football Saturday! The season is already flying by, and we couldn’t be happier to talk about this week’s action. Crazy that it’s already October, right?
This week’s slate doesn’t necessarily have a ton of great matchups, as there is just one game between two ranked opponents. No. 9 Mizzou faces off against No. 25 Texas A&M, a contest many are buzzing about.
We did find a few other matchups that could be intriguing and put together our favorite player props from those games! Let’s dive into what Underdog has for us on this fine Saturday.
Missouri at Texas A&M - Noon EDT
Don’t fall into the trap of taking the over on Nate Noel’s rushing yards total this week! He went over 100 yards against Vanderbilt and Boston College, which might indicate that he’s going to have another century game.
However, Noel and Mizzou are facing off a staunch Texas A&M defense that only allows 109.8 rushing yards per game.
Noel might break off a big run at some point, but we’re still confident that A&M will hold him to less than 80 yards in this hard-nosed battle.
Iowa at Ohio State - 3:30 PM EDT
Sometimes, you just have to ride with the stars. We took Emeka Egbuka’s over in Week 1 of the College Football Season, and of course, he didn’t hit it.
However, we’ve learned our lesson after the past three weeks of 90+ yard performances, and can’t stay away from him this week. Egbuka is going to be an NFL receiver, and his connection with Will Howard is undeniable.
We love his odds of going over 62 yards this week, especially since Iowa’s passing defense is not what it used to be. Look for Egbuka to crush this line with ease this week!
USC at Minnesota - 7:30 PM EDT
We were pretty surprised to see how high Underdog had Miller Moss’s passing yardage total. Yes, the Minnesota Gophers aren’t necessarily a great team, but they do have a spectacular passing defense.
They allow the lowest amount of passing yards in college football this year, not even letting opposing teams gain 100 yards through the air, on average.
Moss can still have a good day, throwing for over 200 yards, but there’s just no way that the Gophers falter enough for him to pass for nearly 300.
