⬆️ Brendan Sorsby Over 238.5 passing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Don't let Brendan Sorsby's poor showing in a Week 1 loss to Nebraska cloud your judgment; he's one of the most underrated QBs in the country this season. The Indiana transfer might singlehandedly save Scott Satterfield's job with the way he's elevated his game.

Sorsby just led Cincinnati to an upset win on the road over Kansas by throwing for 388 yards, his third straight game going Over 238.5 passing yards.

While Iowa State poses the toughest matchup for the Bearcats since playing the Cornhuskers in August, the Cyclones will also be down their top two starting cornerbacks - Jontez Williams and Jeremiah Cooper. Without those two, Iowa State's defense, which already ranks outside the top 35 in EPA per pass, could be in trouble. 

Sorsby is a legit NFL talent and ranks No. 6 in QBR (87.6), No. 30 in big-time throw rate (6.1%), No. 26 in average depth of target (10.4), and has the Bearcats offense sitting No. 5 in EPA per pass. If he can keep up his play and hit the Over, a $10 bet pays an $8.70 profit.

This same prop is set as high as 243.5 at our other best college football betting sites.

⬇️ DJ Lagway Under 189.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

As a true freshman, DJ Lagway played up to his five-star billing and managed to save Billy Napier's job in Gainesville. He entered his sophomore season viewed as a potential Heisman Trophy odds contender.

Instead, after an offseason full of injury buzz, Lagway has played so poorly that Napier's firing seems inevitable, and there were even rumors that Lagway might opt out midseason. Now, he's set to take the field against an elite Texas defense that ranks first in SP+ and No. 14 in EPA per pass.

The Longhorns have future NFL starters at every level, led by Anthony Hill Jr., Colin Simmons, and Michael Taaffe. Those three spearhead a Texas defense allowing the 16th-fewest passing yards per game in the country (151.3) and the fifth-lowest average yards per attempt (4.9).

With Lagway ranked 92nd in QBR (46.9) and having a higher turnover-worthy play rate (4.7%) than big-time throw rate (3.1%), this matchup doesn't bode well for him. In his last outing, Lagway threw for just 61 yards against Miami - if he goes Under 189.5 passing yards again, a $10 bet pays an $8.77 profit.

⬆️ Ty Simpson Over 2.5 passing touchdowns (-105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My favorite player prop of the season was betting Ty Simpson to throw for Over 1.5 touchdowns against Georgia last week. This week, I'm going back to the well with the Heisman contender, who needs to throw three or more TDs to cash this prop against a Vanderbilt defense that's struggled against the pass.

Simpson is one of the best QBs in the country and the only player I'd consider betting to win the Heisman, other than Oregon's Dante Moore. The former blue-chip recruit sits eighth in touchdown passes (11), 12th in QBR (84.2), and has the Crimson Tide offense ranked 10th in EPA per pass.

Simpson has thrown at least three touchdowns in both his games against defenses that rank outside the top 28 in SP+ this season; Vanderbilt is No. 29.

The Commodores only rank that high because of their run defense (No. 6 in EPA per rush), while their pass defense has been an issue (No. 88 in EPA per pass) and has allowed the 17th-most touchdown passes in the country and most in the SEC (9).

If Simpson can keep playing like a future first-round pick and throw for Over 2.5 touchdowns against Vandy, a $10 bet pays a $9.52 profit.

⬆️ Chris Bell Over 80.5 receiving yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The top two wide receivers in the 2026 NFL Draft will likely be Arizona State's Jordyn Tyson and USC's Makai Lemon, but dynasty fantasy players will want to familiarize themselves with Louisville's Chris Bell, too. Bell has a chance to be a top-50 pick in April and is coming off the best game of his career: 10 receptions for 135 yards and a score against Pittsburgh.

I took the Over on his receiving yards last week when the line was set at just 68.5 against the Panthers, but I'm not shying away this week just because it's 80.5 against a top-25 team. Virginia is ranked No. 24 in the country, but the Cardinals are the better football team, and I expect the Cavaliers to have a hangover after last week's upset of Florida State.

Bell is a tough matchup for Virginia's defense - which sits just No. 87 in EPA per pass and No. 65 in SP+ - with two of the Cavaliers' top three cornerbacks allowing an NFL QBR above 130 when targeted.

The Cardinals' star receiver has gone Over this number in two of his last three games, and if he does so again, a $10 bet pays an $8.77 profit.

⬆️ Mario Craver Over 83.5 receiving yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Revenge game? Well, not really, because Mississippi State would have loved it if Mario Craver had never left for Aggieland via the transfer portal in the offseason. However, it's always fun when a player faces his former team, especially when said player is far more dynamic in his new threads.

That begs the question: why didn't the Bulldogs get more out of Super Mario as a freshman?

In eight games with Mississippi State last season, Craver had 368 receiving yards on 17 catches - pretty impressive for an 18-year-old. But in Collin Klein's offense, he's already topped those numbers with 24 receptions for 477 yards in just four games.

Craver has become one of the country's scariest weapons, especially after the catch - he leads the nation in YAC (312) and ranks in the top 20 in YAC per reception (13) and yards per route run (5.02).

Thanks to Craver's quiet outing last week against an Auburn defense that sits No. 15 in SP+ (Mississippi State ranks No. 38), this line is lower than it should be - he's gone Over 83.5 receiving yards in his three other games this season. With the Bulldogs sitting outside the top 60 in EPA per pass on defense, I love the Over here, which would turn a $10 bet into a $8.77 profit if it hits.
