⬇️ Avery Johnson Under 40.5 rushing yards (-120) ⭐⭐⭐

It’s been a shaky start to the season for K-State. The Wildcats were once favorites to win the Big 12, but after losses to Iowa State and Army – and a narrow win over FCS North Dakota State – it’s hard to see a path for them. Quarterback Avery Johnson has been a large part of the team’s struggles.

While Johnson’s passing efficiency has ticked up this year, it’s come at the expense of his rushing production. Johnson averaged 7.3 yards per pass attempt a year ago. That’s now up to 7.8. However, he averaged 5.4 yards per rush and 46.5 rushing yards per game, which are now down to 4.3 and 26, respectively.

Johnson is rushing less (8.7 attempts per game down to six), which magnifies the significance of negative sack yardage that more passing plays can cause. Back him to stay Under 40.5 rushing yards for the third time this season against an Arizona defense that generated plenty of havoc versus Hawaii and FCS Weber State. The -120 odds (54.6% implied probability) will earn you an $8.33 profit on a $10 bet.

Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita absolutely stomped FCS Weber State in his last time out. He threw for a whopping 373 yards! However, that performance came after a 161-yard showing versus Hawaii, an FBS opponent, which should be much more predictive of his output this season. 

One big offseason departure has me worried about Fifita. He averaged 246.5 passing yards per game a year ago while throwing to star wideout Tetairoa McMillan, who is now in the NFL. No one on the roster has close to McMillan’s talent, and it showed in Week 1, with Fifita completing just 56.5% of his throws.

The best sports betting sites should probably be hanging a lower number for Fifita this week, especially with Kansas State holding Iowa State’s Rocco Becht to 183 yards on 28 attempts in Week 0 and North Dakota’s Jerry Kaminski to 231 on 38 attempts in Week 1. Bet Fifita to stay Under 249.5 for -115 (53.5%) at BetMGM for an $8.70 profit on a $10 bet.


⬆️ Jayce Brown Over 69.5 receiving yards (-114) ⭐⭐

As wide receiver Jayce Brown goes, so goes the K-State offense. The talented slot wideout is averaging 72 yards per game this season on a total of 19 receptions, good for 6.3 per contest. As one of K-State’s returning talents in the receiver room, he has a leg up over most of his competition for chemistry with Johnson, which he has parlayed into some early success.

Brown didn’t see this kind of volume last year, as he averaged 3.6 receptions per game – but that was still good enough for him to average 63.3 receiving yards per game. With him now averaging 6.3 receptions per contest through three games, it’s easy to project him for an increase in receiving yardage – but not all of the best sports betting apps appear as excited about his potential as others.

You’ll find the Over 69.5 trading at -114 (53.3%) at FanDuel, which is a solid deal relative to the mid-to-high 70s you’ll find this line at elsewhere. Lock this one in at the current price to score an $8.77 profit on a $10 bet.

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.
