Carson Beck player prop: Over 1.5 passing TDs (-118) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Over his final three games, Miami quarterback Carson Beck completed 80% of his passes (71-for-88) for 878 yards with 10 touchdowns and one interception. He threw for three scores against both North Carolina State (home) and Pitt (road), and sandwiched in between was a four-touchdown performance at Virginia Tech.

Toss in four TD passes in a Week 6 win at Florida State and two in a Week 10 loss at SMU, and Beck had multiple scoring passes in all four road games. Granted, Texas A&M’s defense is terrific — the best Beck has seen since the Hurricanes’ season-opening loss to Notre Dame. But the Aggies allowed 16 TD passes, with four of their last five SEC foes tossing two scores.

Beck's passing TDs aren't the only prop for the signal caller to target today, his passing yard total rounds out our Miami vs. Texas A&M same-game parlay.

Marcel Reed player prop: Over 224.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐

Miami faced three quarterbacks who ranked in the top 40 in passing yards in the regular season: SMU’s Kevin Jennings (11th), South Florida’s Byrum Brown (tied-15th) and North Carolina State’s CJ Bailey (tied-34th). Among that group, Bailey (120 yards) failed to produce, but Brown (274 yards) and Jennings (365) shredded the Hurricanes.

That brings me to Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed, who is 33rd in passing yards. He lit up South Carolina for 439 and Notre Dame for 360 — two teams that respectively only allowed 22 and 25 more passing yards per game than Miami.

I also highlight Reed as one of my top Miami vs. Texas A&M anytime touchdown scorer predictions.

Malachi Toney: Anytime touchdown scorer (+105) ⭐⭐

Beck connected with freshman wide receiver Malachi Toney four times in the last three games. For the season, Toney has eight TDs, and the ACC Freshman of the Year hit pay dirt in five of the Hurricanes’ last eight contests.

Of course, it’s important to focus on usage and production before wagering on a touchdown prop. Well, in his last two games, Toney caught 12 of 15 targets for 146 yards at Virginia Tech, and 13 of 16 targets for 126 yards at Pitt. He scored in both of those road games and also had two TDs at Florida State.

And, I'm not the only guy on our crew backing Toney to score: he also features in our Miami vs. Texas A&M predictions.
