Mark Fletcher Jr., RB, Miami (+175) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mark Fletcher Jr. didn’t run away from a lot of defenders in the regular season. In fact, Miami’s junior running back failed to top 40 rushing yards in four of 10 starts. Fletcher did, however, have a nose for the goal line, scoring 10 times on the ground and once through the air. The only teams to hold Fletcher out of the end zone: Notre Dame in Week 1, Florida State in Week 6 and SMU in Week 10.

Yes, Texas A&M has only surrendered 13 rushing scores. But eight of those were scored in the Aggies’ last five SEC contests. Another reason to tail this Miami vs. Texas A&M TD pick: Fletcher has scored at least once in 16 of the last 23 games in which he had at least five carries. That's why I'm taking this price at FanDuel as one of my college bowl game prediction best bets.

Marcel Reed, QB, Texas A&M (+210) ⭐⭐⭐

Miami’s defense surrendered only 19 touchdowns in 12 regular-season games (eight on the ground and 11 through the air). However, one area where the Hurricanes did struggle was when the opposing quarterback held onto the pigskin near the goal line. 

Five QBs scored touchdowns versus Miami: Notre Dame’s CJ Carr, North Carolina State’s CJ Bailey, SMU’s Kevin Jennings, Louisville’s Miller Moss, and Virginia Tech’s Pop Watson III (a backup). So let’s bet on Marcel Reed to hit pay dirt, something the Texas A&M quarterback did six times in the regular season (tying for the team lead). Once again, FanDuel is the best side of the market on this play.

I also highlight Reed in my Miami vs. Texas A&M player prop bets.

Keelan Marion, WR, Miami (+320) ⭐

Keelan Marion’s 41 receptions and 557 yards rank second on the Hurricanes behind true freshman Malachi Toney (84 catches, 970 yards). But while Toney has a team-best seven touchdown catches, Marion only has one: a 61-yarder against Syracuse in Week 11.

So why make this bet - especially since Marion has just three touchdowns in 44 games over the last four seasons? For starters, the price at DraftKings is nice. More importantly, he’s running hot, catching 23 of 26 targets for 378 yards in the last five games. In other words, Marion will have the ball in his hands multiple times Saturday, and when you’ve got the rock in your hands, you’ve got a chance to score.

Our Rob Paul also breaks down a teammate of Marion's to find pay dirt in his Miami vs. Texas A&M predictions.
