💰 Houston vs. Oregon State prop bets
Our college football player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.
⬆️ Dean Connors Over 72.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
While Oregon State’s defense is beatable on the ground or through the air, Houston’s preferred tendency has been to leave Conner Weigman in more of a game-manager role as the rushing attack for the Cougars paces the offense.
Houston (-13.5) averages 206.5 rushing yards per game and should pair well against a Beavers defense allowing 167 yards per game on the ground (83rd in FBS). Senior RB Dean Connors has rumbled for 132 and 89 yards, respectively, across Houston’s two games against FBS competition.
The best odds on Connors Over 72.5 rushing yards come from FanDuel (-114). The implied probability is 53.27%, and a winning $10 wager on this prop would profit $8.77.

⬆️ Maalik Murphy Over 227.5 passing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Maalik Murphy has thrown for 244-plus passing yards in three of four games, and when he fell short of the mark, it came against Oregon’s top-five pass defense.
Statistically, it’s another top-five pass defense in the nation on tap for Friday as Murphy faces a Houston unit that has allowed just 127.5 passing yards per game. But Houston’s only opponent of note was Colorado, and the Buffaloes started a backup who still managed 204 yards against the Cougars' secondary.
At home, in a projected negative game script, this line feels light for Murphy, considering the volume of attempts per game (35.75) that he averages. BetMGM offers the best line at Over 227.5 yards (-115). That comes with an implied probability of 53.49%. A winning $10 wager on this prop would profit $8.70.

🔥 Conner Weigman anytime TD scorer (-124) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Conner Weigman has scored three rushing touchdowns across three games this season and faces a Beavers defense that has allowed chunk yardage on the ground to several quarterbacks already this year.
Aside from facing pocket passer Behren Morton, Oregon State has allowed 12 quarterback carries for 140 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown across three games.
The best odds for a Conner Weigman anytime TD score come from Caesars at -124. The implied probability at those odds is 55.36%, and a winning $10 wager on this prop would profit $8.06.

How do college football player props work?
Player props are wagers on individual performances rather than the outcome of the game. Common props include passing yards, rushing yards, receiving yards, and touchdown scorers. For example, if a QB’s passing yards line is set at 250.5, you can bet the Over (251-plus yards) or Under (250 or fewer yards). You can also bet on if a specific player will score a touchdown in the entire game, the first or last touchdown, and more college football odds markets.
