Miami vs. Ole Miss Player Props for Fiesta Bowl Tonight: Best Prop Bets & TD Picks
Last Updated: January 8, 2026 5:30 PM EST • 3 minute read X Social Google News Link
My best Miami vs. Ole Miss player props for the Fiesta Bowl focus on Mark Fletcher Jr., De’Zhaun Stribling, and Malachi Toney. No. 10 Miami is a 3.5-point betting favorite over No. 6 Ole Miss ahead of kickoff for the College Football Playoff semifinal from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN).
Below, I highlight why Fletcher should rack up plenty of yards and why Toney will finally show up after a lackluster performance against Ohio State. My College Football Playoff predictions also explain why Stribling is key piece to the Ole Miss offense.

Mark Fletcher Jr. Over 88.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fletcher averaged 4.7 yards per carry in the Cotton Bowl, racking up 90 yards against the country’s seventh-ranked rush defense. Ole Miss is allowing 146.1 rushing yards per game and 4.2 yards per carry.
Fletcher has totaled 262 yards on 36 carries in the College Football Playoff. He now has four 100-yard games. This would be a five-star play if Fletcher didn’t also have four games with 40 or fewer yards.
🔥 More Miami vs. Ole Miss prop picks: Fiesta Bowl
De’Zhaun Stribling Over 52.5 receiving yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Stribling may be second on the team in receptions and receiving yards, but he has been the Rebels’ most consistent receiver of late. He has at least four receptions in five consecutive games, racking up at least 66 yards in four straight.
Miami has the fifth-best rush defense in the nation, but the pass defense is allowing 201.1 yards per game. The unit just allowed Jeremiah Smith to catch seven passes for 157 yards and a touchdown. Our Mike Spector targets Stribling to score in his Miami vs. Ole Miss anytime touchdown scorer predictions, while Rob Paul targets Ole Miss to cover the spread in his Miami vs. Ole Miss predictions.
Malachi Toney to score a touchdown (+100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ohio State held Toney in check, as he recorded just five receptions for 16 yards. However, he’s scored nine touchdowns this season, and he has scored in four of his last five games.
Miami faced ranked opponents six times this season. Toney scored in four of those six games, producing five touchdowns.
FanDuel’s price of +100 implies a 50% chance that Toney scores.
