Picks are opinions, not guarantees. Odds may have moved since publishing.
Saturday's college football slate is loaded, and the marquee games are Ohio State at USC, Florida against Georgia in Atlanta, Northwestern at Oregon and South Carolina at Oklahoma. I went through each one looking for the player props where the numbers and the matchup line up best.
My picks come from PF Rating, which blends the game environment, the defensive matchup, recent hit rates and scoring averages into one score. Lines move and sample sizes are small in college, so treat these as opinions and shop for the best price before you bet.
Ohio State Buckeyes at USC Trojans
Ohio State is 6-1 and first in PropFinder's power ratings, and the Buckeyes visit a USC team that is 6-2 and 23rd. Kickoff at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC. Both programs play in the Big Ten, and both props below lean on a game total in the low 50s that should give each offense room to work.
Ja'Kobi Jackson Over 0.5 Touchdowns (+110, theScore)
Ja'Kobi Jackson
Over 0.5 Touchdowns
Ja'Kobi Jackson carries a PF Rating of 87.3 for a touchdown over 0.5, and the best price is +110 at theScore. He has scored in 4 of his last 5 games and 5 of 6 this season, averaging 1.0 touchdowns over his last five. Over his last 10 the rate drops to 5 of 10, so the recent run matters.
The matchup helps. USC ranks 89th against running backs, and Ohio State is projected to score 35.1 points in this game. That is plenty of scoring chances for a back who is already finding the end zone regularly.
Kayden Dixon-Wyatt Over 3.5 Receptions (+100, Bally Bet)
Kayden Dixon-Wyatt
Over 3.5 Receptions
Kayden Dixon-Wyatt has a PF Rating of 86.7 on receptions over 3.5, with the best price at +100 at Bally Bet. The sample is tiny: he has one game on the books this season and caught 5 passes in it. Treat the 1 of 1 hit rate as a starting point, not a trend.
The matchup is the better argument. Ohio State ranks 201st against wide receivers, and USC is projected to score 22.8 points, which points to a game where the Trojans are chasing and throwing.
Florida Gators vs. Georgia Bulldogs
Florida is 5-2 and 19th in PropFinder's power ratings, and Georgia is 6-1 and third. They meet at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, a neutral site, at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC. The total is in the mid-50s, and both props below lean on a game environment that points to plenty of scoring and a few field goal chances.
Craig Dandridge Over 3.5 Receptions (+132, DraftKings)
Craig Dandridge
Over 3.5 Receptions
Craig Dandridge has a PF Rating of 96.9 on receptions over 3.5, and DraftKings has the best price at +132. He has one game of data this season and caught 4 passes, so the 1 of 1 hit rate says little on its own. What stands out is the plus-money price on a line below his 4.0 average.
Florida ranks 49th against wide receivers, and Georgia is projected to score 31.8 points. If the Bulldogs build a lead there are plenty of targets to go around, and Dandridge needs only four catches to cash.
Patrick Durkin Over 1.5 Field Goals Made (+160, DraftKings)
Patrick Durkin
Over 1.5 Field Goals Made
Patrick Durkin is Florida's kicker, and his PF Rating of 86.9 backs the over on 1.5 field goals made at +160 at DraftKings. He made 2 in his one game this season, so the sample is as small as it gets. This is a bet on game script more than on a track record.
Georgia ranks 208th against kickers, and Florida is projected to score 21.3 points. If the Gators move the ball between the 20s but have a hard time finishing drives against Georgia, field goals could make up a big share of their scoring.
Northwestern Wildcats at Oregon Ducks
Northwestern is 6-1 and 20th in PropFinder's power ratings, and Oregon is 4-3 and 15th. They play at Autzen Stadium at 3:30 p.m. ET, with the game streaming on Peacock. The market total is 48, and both props below come from players who have been clearing their numbers consistently.
Evan Stewart Over 54.5 Receiving Yards (-110, Bally Bet)
Evan Stewart
Over 54.5 Receiving Yards
Evan Stewart has cleared this number in all 5 of his games this season, and he averages 70.4 receiving yards against a line of 54.5. That cushion of almost 16 yards is why his PF Rating is 83.5. The best price on the over is -110 at Bally Bet.
Northwestern ranks 173rd against wide receivers, and Oregon is projected to score 28.5 points at home. A sample of five games is still small, but the gap over the line is real.
Aidan Chiles Over 0.5 Touchdowns (+150, Fanatics)
Aidan Chiles
Over 0.5 Touchdowns
Aidan Chiles has a PF Rating of 79.2 on touchdowns over 0.5, and Fanatics has the best price at +150. He has scored in each of his last 5 games and 9 of his last 10, averaging 1.2 touchdowns over the last five. That is a generous number for someone producing this regularly.
One note of caution: he missed in his one previous meeting with Oregon. The Ducks rank 152nd against quarterbacks, and Northwestern is projected to score 21.3 points, so the Wildcats will need him to keep producing as the underdog.
South Carolina Gamecocks at Oklahoma Sooners
South Carolina is 4-3 and 22nd in PropFinder's power ratings, and Oklahoma is 4-3 and 17th. The SEC matchup kicks off at 4:15 p.m. ET at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on the SEC Network. The market total is 44.5, a modest number that shapes both props below.
John Mateer Under 14.5 Longest Rush (-105, theScore)
John Mateer
Under 14.5 Longest Rush
John Mateer has stayed under 14.5 yards on his longest rush in each of his last 5 games and 8 of his last 10, averaging 8.8 yards on his longest carry over the last five. His PF Rating is 81, and the best price on the under is -105 at theScore.
He also stayed under in his one meeting with South Carolina. The Gamecocks rank 224th against quarterbacks, but this pick leans more on how Oklahoma has used him recently than on the matchup, and the modest total points to a game without many big plays.
Malik Orsan Over 1.5 Field Goals Made (+155, DraftKings)
Malik Orsan
Over 1.5 Field Goals Made
Malik Orsan is South Carolina's kicker, and the over on 1.5 field goals made is +155 at DraftKings with a PF Rating of 79.9. He made 2 in his one game of data this season, so this is a thin sample.
Oklahoma ranks 170th against kickers. South Carolina is projected to score 21.5 points in a game with a total of 44.5, where field goals could decide a lot of the scoring.
