Stanford vs. Hawaii Player Props: Week 0 Odds, Best Bets & Expert Picks for Saturday

My best Stanford vs. Hawaii player props for college football Week 0 expect the Stanford passing game to be limited for another year as interim head coach Frank Reich’s run-heavy mentality takes hold.

As part of our college football Week 0 predictions, I’m fading multiple pieces of the Stanford passing offense - including new quarterback Ben Gulbranson, despite his success in limited duties last year with Oregon State.

The action between Stanford and Hawaii kicks off from Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex in Honolulu on Saturday, Aug. 23 at 7:30 p.m. ET (CBS). Hawaii is a 2.5-point betting favorite.

⬇️ Ben Gulbranson Under 217.5 passing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

While Ben Gulbranson cleared this prop total in three of his four appearances last year with Oregon State, the passing environment that he’s inheriting at Stanford isn’t a very productive one. The Cardinal averaged just 179.7 passing yards per game a year ago, ranking 111th in FBS.

As of this writing, bet365 lists this prop at 217.5 yards (-115), which makes it a better option for Under bettors compared to the rest of our best sports betting sites listing the total at 210.5 yards. The implied probability of Gulbranson going Under this total at bet365 is 53.49% with a winning $10 wager returning a $8.70 profit.

The Stanford passing struggles is a key reason why I'm backing the home favorites in my Stanford vs. Hawaii prediction.

⬇️ Sam Roush Under 35.5 receiving yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Roush returns to the Cardinal offense after serving as an ancillary piece to the underwhelming passing game last year. Leading receiver Elic Ayomanor has moved on to the NFL, but I’m not convinced Roush will automatically assume a robust role in this offense after averaging just 27.8 receiving yards per game.

FanDuel offers the most favorable line-plus-odds combo for Under bettors on this prop. Bettors should stay away from the bet365 line (32.5 yards). The implied probability of Under 35.5 receiving yards at these -114 odds for Roush sits at 53.27% with a winning $10 wager on this prop returning a $8.77 profit.

🔥 Nick Cenacle anytime TD scorer (-118) ⭐⭐⭐

Nick Cenacle tied for the team lead in touchdowns among skill players for the Rainbow Warriors last season, scoring six times as the team’s leading receiving threat.

I have this pick listed as only a three-star recommendation due to the general belief in a low-scoring affair on Saturday. With the implied probability of Cenacle finding the end zone at 54.13% based on the most favorable odds from Caesars (-118), these odds aren’t quite as juicy as we’d like them to be relative to Cenacle somewhat limited scoring profile last year.

But if this is going to be the year that Timmy Chang’s pass-heavy scheme finally clicks, Cenacle figures to be a prime beneficiary - so through that lens, there’s a chance his odds don’t get any more favorable than this for the rest of the year. A winning $10 wager on this prop would profit $8.47 at Caesars.

❓College football betting FAQs

What are the best Stanford vs. Hawaii player props?

I like the Under on the yardage props for both QB Ben Gulbranson and tight end Sam Roush - I'm fading the Stanford passing attack after last year’s scheme just didn’t seem to provide much value through the air.

How do college football player props work?

Player props are wagers on individual performances rather than the outcome of the game. Common props include a quarterback’s passing yards, a running back’s rushing yards, or a receivers receiving yards. For example, if a QB’s passing yards line is set at 250.5, you can bet the Over (251-plus yards) or Under (250 or fewer yards). You can also bet on if a specific player will score a touchdown.
