CJ Daniels, WR, Miami (+159) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Entering Monday, CJ Daniels to go Over his projected total of 36.5 receiving yards was the third-most popular prop wager for the CFP Semifinal at BetMGM.

Daniels has fewer than half of the receptions of fellow wideout Malachi Toney on the season. He has still turned seven of his 42 receptions into touchdowns, and is one off the team lead for touchdown grabs. 

Miami’s Carson Beck may not have the most gaudy passing totals through two playoff wins. But he was efficient with 13 straight completions in the first half against Ohio State, making this a great value play.

De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss (+210) ⭐⭐⭐

De’Zhaun Stribling is coming off a game against Georgia where he had a season-high in catches, targets, and receiving yards. 

Miami’s run defense has been impenetrable, ranking in the top nine in rushing success rate allowed and yards before contact average.

With running back Kewan Lacy still nursing an injured shoulder, I expect more quick passing from Ole Miss in an attempt to expose Miami’s 116th rank in tackling efficiency. Stribling is the only wideout on the team with more than four receiving scores, and he entered the Georgia game with four touchdowns in his previous three games played.

Our Philip Wood targets Stribling to go Over his receiving yardage total as part of his Miami vs. Ole Miss player props.

Trinidad Chambliss, QB, Ole Miss (+240) ⭐⭐

Miami’s defense entered last week ranked sixth in pressure rate, but only converted 17% of its pressures into sacks (73rd). That bodes well for Trinidad Chambliss’ chances of scrambling and escaping pressure. 

Chambliss leads an offense that is second in total yards per game and third in points per drive. He has eight of the team’s 38 rushing touchdowns, including two in the team’s first playoff win over Tulane. 

Miami hasn’t faced a team all year that plays with Ole Miss’ pace (11th-fastest tempo), and I am banking on Chambliss eventually taking advantage of a worn-down Hurricanes defensive line. Our Rob Paul targets a close Fiesta Bowl in which the underdog Rebels cover the spread in his Miami vs. Ole Miss predictions.
