College Football Player Props for Week 3: Best Prop Bets This Week

Twenty-one of the AP top 25 teams are in action on a loaded Saturday slate, and my college football player props for Week 3 have identified three such players with appealing value.

No. 25 Virginia quarterback Beau Pribula hasn’t been asked to do much in the passing game, but more volume in what could be a track meet means I’m targeting his passing touchdowns prop. I’m not as high on a fellow ACC quarterback, so I’m adding the Under on a play involving No. 16 SMU’s Kevin Jennings, while also advising my best anytime touchdown scorer play as part of my college football Week 3 predictions.

Ryan Coleman-Williams anytime touchdown scorer (+105 via DraftKings)

Ryan Coleman-Williams is Alabama’s leader in receptions (nine), receiving yards (173), and longest reception (58 yards) through two games this season. At some point, that volume has to pay off in his first touchdown grab of the season, and this is a great opponent for it to happen against.

Alabama ranked 15th in the SEC with 104.1 rushing yards per game last year. Though early returns from four new starters on the offensive line and a new offensive line coach look promising, this will be a truer test against a Mike Norvell-led Florida State defense that has had 11 days to prepare. I look for the Crimson Tide to air it out more than it has in either of the first two games.

Kevin Jennings Under 282.5 passing yards (-115 via Caesars)

I already mentioned Kevin Jennings’ career-high 430 passing yards against Florida State, but the more impressive part was his four completions of 30-plus yards, and three completions of 50 or more yards in that game. That explosive passing game should be mitigated by a Louisville defense that had better preseason SP+ projections on defense (No. 26) than on offense (No. 36).

Jennings entered this season in the top 10 of FBS quarterbacks in passing yards (6,886) and passing touchdowns (49) since 2024, and ranks second in SMU history in pass yards. He even torched Louisville for 303 yards and a 94.6 QBR in last year’s 38-6 victory. But I expect the Cardinals to rely more on the running back duo of Isaac Brown and Keyjuan Brown (who combined averaged 8.1 yards per carry last season) to shorten the game and keep Jennings off the field. 

Beau Pribula Over 1.5 passing touchdowns (+100 via bet365)

Missouri transfer Beau Pribula hasn’t done much more than hand the ball off through two easy victories thus far, but he has been efficient with what pass attempts he’s been given. Pribula has five passing touchdowns on just 25 attempts (two-plus in each game), and he should have much more volume in a game that figures to be much more highly contested than the wins over NC State and Norfolk State.

Pribula looks comfortable in Virginia’s offense after he had eight big-time throws compared to 12 turnover-worthy plays (per PFF) in his first year as Missouri’s starting quarterback. His running ability (four carries of 10-plus yards, three designed runs of at least 15 yards in the win over NC State) is always going to be a weapon in the red zone, but should also open up more options for him in the passing game.
