⬇️ Tinidad Chambliss, QB, Ole Miss: Under 35.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

With rumors swirling that Lane Kiffin could exit Oxford for Gainesville (he's the favorite by the Florida next coach odds) Ole Miss could be in trouble on the road against an Oklahoma team that has one of the nation's best defenses. Last week, I took the Under on Trinidad Chambliss' rushing yards against Georgia, and it cashed, so I'm going back to the well with the Rebels taking on an even better run defense.

For as special as Chambliss has been, the Division II transfer has struggled in his last two games, a loss to the Bulldogs and a near-upset loss to Washington State. Chambliss totaled just 57 rushing yards on 20 carries in those two games, and now takes on an Oklahoma defense that's No. 10 in EPA per rush, allows the third fewest rushing yards in the country (80.4), and leads the nation in sacks (28) - remember, sacks count against QB rushing yards in college football.

With pass rushing savant R Mason Thomas leading Brent Venables' defense, the Sooners have held similarly explosive running threats like LaNorris Sellers (-9), Bryce Underwood (-1), Jackson Arnold (-11), and Arch Manning (34) below this number. If Oklahoma can hold Chambliss to fewer than 36 rushing yards, a $10 bet pays an $8.77 profit.

⬆️ Taylen Green, QB, Arkansas: Over 235.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If Arkansas didn't have one of the worst defenses in the country, Taylen Green might be in the Heisman Trophy odds convo. The senior has been one of the most statistically impressive QBs in college football, and he's been at his best against SEC opponents, especially since Sam Pittman was fired and Bobby Petrino was named interim head coach. Now, Green has a chance to take down Auburn and have the enigmatic Hugh Freeze forced to follow in Pittman and Billy Napier's footsteps as SEC coaches who have had to update their LinkedIn profiles in recent weeks.

The former Boise State star has been putting up video game numbers this season. He's No. 3 in the country in QBR (90.9), No. 4 in rushing yards among QBs (589), No. 13 in passing yards (1,910), and has 22 total TDs. And for as good as Auburn's defense has looked at times, it's struggled to stop the pass - the Tigers are No. 106 in EPA per pass on defense and allow the third-most passing yards per game in the SEC (229.6). 

Green, who's topped 235.5 passing yards in six of seven games this season, is averaging 272.3 passing yards per game against SEC opponents. If he can torch Auburn's secondary the same way he did Texas A&M's last week, a $10 bet pays an $8.77 profit.

⬇️ LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina: Under 171.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

After opening among the favorites to be the No. 1 pick at our best college football betting sites, LaNorris Sellers' redshirt sophomore season has not gone as planned. It's hard to blame South Carolina's QB1, though, with how poor the talent around him is on this Gamecocks roster. Bad offensive line play and a lack of weapons have led Sellers to be a buzzy name for a potential transfer this offseason, and who could blame him after he's failed to throw for more than 153 yards for three straight games.

Sellers is the seventh-most pressured QB in the country this season (92) and the second-most sacked (25), despite taking just 191 dropbacks - every other QB who's been pressured at least 78 times has taken a minimum of 214 dropbacks. It won't get any easier this week for Sellers either against an Alabama defense that's allowing the second-fewest passing yards per game in the SEC (154.6). 

Against a Crimson Tide defense with NFL-level talent at every position, Sellers isn't going to be able to carry this offense by himself. In the six games he's taken 20-plus dropbacks this season, he's averaging 173.3 passing yards per game and has gone Over 171.5 just twice. If he fails to hit 172 passing yards for the fourth straight game, a $10 bet pays an $8.77 profit.

⬆️ Kevin Coleman Jr., WR, Missouri: Over 53.5 receiving yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

College GameDay is in Nashville on Saturday for a top 15 matchup between Missouri and Vanderbilt, with the winner putting themselves in a position to make the College Football Playoff. Stakes are high, and if the Tigers are going to win on the road against Diego Pavia and Co., Eliah Drinkwitz will need his passing game to shine against a Commodores defense that's No. 113 in EPA per pass.

While QB Beau Pribula and running back Ahmad Hardy have been the transfers that have gotten the most attention for Missouri, Kevin Coleman Jr. has been nearly as impressive. Coleman, who once won SWAC Freshman of the Year at Jackson State over Travis Hunter, has found his home in Columbia after stints with Jackson State, Louisville, and Mississippi State. 

Coleman is top five in the SEC in YAC (272), contested catches (6), forced missed tackles on receptions (11), and first down catches (25). He's the focal point of Missouri's passing attack and can pressure a Vanderbilt defense that's allowed the most passing TDs in the SEC (13). If Coleman tops this number for the fifth time in seven games, a $10 bet pays an $8.77 profit.

⬇️ KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M: Under 58.5 receiving yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐

It is Saturday night in Death Valley, which means Texas A&M is going to have to deal with the most raucous atmosphere in college football. Though I'm taking the Aggies in my college football picks against the spread this week, this is a potential upset spot for Mike Elko's undefeated program, especially if QB Marcel Reed struggles. 

If Reed wants to avoid putting the ball in conflict, he's going to want to avoid throwing at LSU star cornerback Mansoor Delane, who's the biggest reason why the Tigers are allowing just 189.6 passing yards per game and the third-lowest QB rating in the SEC (109.0). That could mean Reed not looking KC Concepcion's way too often, with Delane playing 85.3% of his snaps at outside cornerback (Concepcion plays 67.2% of his snaps outside). 

Delane has allowed just six receptions for 77 yards on 23 targets this season, so if he's covering Concepcion for the bulk of the game, it could be a quiet night for the Texas A&M star. If Concepcion goes Under 58.5 receiving yards for a third straight game, a $10 bet pays an $8.77 profit.
