🔥 Dylan Edwards to score a touchdown (-118) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Though both teams possess experienced quarterbacks, they each feature plus-money odds to throw multiple touchdowns - which suggests this game should have more of an old school ground-and-pound feel.

Dylan Edwards was the team’s workhorse running back in its bowl win against Rutgers last season. He averaged 7.4 yards per carry and ran for 196 yards in that game, and his biggest competition for rushing yards early in the season should be from his own quarterback.

The Wildcats threw for three touchdowns in last year’s loss to the Cyclones, but I expect them to lean on Edwards in this matchup after he ran for five touchdowns a year ago - two of which came in the only game he had more than eight carries.

If he scores again on Saturday, a $10 bet at Caesars would return an $8.47 profit. His play is a key reason why our Rob Paul is backing the Wildcats in his college football Week 0 picks against the spread.

⬇️ Rocco Becht Under 40.5 yards longest pass completion (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rocco Becht begins the season against arguably the Big 12’s most talented defense, and he does so without his top two wide receivers from a year ago (Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel) after they left for the NFL.

Higgins and Noel were the team’s two biggest downfield threats. And with the Cyclones boasting an enormous offensive line - their six returnees with starting experience average 6-foot-6 and 322 pounds - running the football behind heavy formations should be Iowa State’s biggest priority.

That leaves some value on the Under via bet365, where a winning $10 bet would return an $8.70 profit.

⬆️ Avery Johnson Over 255.5 passing + rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐

Kansas State ranks 14th among FBS teams in returning production, which includes 71% on offense alone. Therefore, Avery Johnson should have the Wildcats offense humming early without too many transfers to get acclimated to.

This is a revenge game for Johnson, as Iowa State was the only team last year to hold him under a 50% completion rate (12-of-28). Johnson still showed some flashes of brilliance with three TDs and zero interceptions in that game, one of his seven games with 220-plus yards in his final eight starts.

I am targeting the Over on Johnson’s passing and rushing yards combined, as the Wildcats coaching staff clearly identified something they liked in the run game with him against Iowa State. It was one of three games where Johnson had 13-plus carries.

If he clears this mark in this rematch with Iowa State, a $10 bet at FanDuel would profit $8.77.

What are the best Iowa State vs. Kansas State player props?

My best Iowa State vs. Kansas State player props feature Dylan Edwards, Avery Johnson, and Rocco Becht ahead of Saturday's matchup.

How do college football player props work?

Player props are wagers on individual performances rather than the outcome of the game. Common props include a quarterback’s passing yards, a running back’s rushing yards, or a receivers receiving yards. 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.
