It’s college football season, y’all! A few games have already gone down, but we’re excited for tonight and the rest of the weekend, as there will be some awesome matchups.
While the Saturday slate might have the most marquee games, tonight’s games still have plenty of fun associated with them. There might only be four games happening tonight, but we’ve still found several great props on Underdog.
We went 3/3 on our plays from last week’s action, so let’s get into it, hoping to sweep the board again!

This might seem like a high passing yardage benchmark to hit in Week 1, but we’re confident in Grayson McCall’s ability to have a big night. NC State is taking on Western Carolina, a school that isn’t necessarily known for great football prowess.
This game might get ugly quickly, which is why we think McCall could easily have 300 yards in this one. He mostly performed well against poor opponents last year, so we’ll bet that McCall starts the year off with a bang.
Our analysis with Shedeur Sanders is similar to that of Grayson McCall. Colorado is taking on North Dakota State tonight, who play well against FCS teams, but not so much against FBS teams. NDSU does have some talented players on their roster, and they’ve produced great NFL talent over the past decade.
However, we expect the Sanders family to be the reigning force in this one, and considering that Shedeur is viewed as a contender for the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, we think he’s due for a massive game. Look for Sanders and his teammates to keep their foot on the gas for the entire game, putting up some eye-popping passing numbers.
Omarion Hampton might be a beast, but we don’t like his chances of rushing for 99+ yards tonight. The Minnesota Gophers don’t have a great secondary, but as a general rule, they can stop the run pretty well.
Hampton only had 46 yards against them last year in Week 3 of the season, averaging just 3.5 yards per carry. That might be a decent average in the NFL, but it’s subpar at the collegiate level. With that in mind, expect Hampton to get stifled in this matchup and not achieve 99 rushing yards.
