UMass vs. Ohio Player Props: Best Bets & TD Picks for Week 13

UMass looks to get off the schneid as the only winless FBS team remaining, and we're breaking down the school's chances in our UMass vs. Ohio player props. Ohio is a 32.5-point betting favorite, with kickoff from Peden Stadium in Athens, Ohio set for 7 p.m. ET as part of a Tuesday MACtion tripleheader (CBSSN).

UMass has allowed the third-most points per game of any FBS team (37.6), which is why my touchdown scorer bet backs a Bobcats skill-position player. It’s all part of our college football predictions for Week 13.

💰 Best UMass vs. Ohio player props

⬆️ Parker Navarro player prop: Over 202.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐

Ohio quarterback Parker Navarro was limited to a season-low 70 passing yards during last week’s loss to Western Michigan. But the Broncos' defense was a brutal matchup for the Bobcats in hindsight, as they entered ranked in the top 15 among FBS teams in EPA per pass allowed, and 12th nationally in third- and fourth-down defense. 

UMass is a sieve defensively, with its lack of secondary depth a significant reason the Minutemen entered last week’s loss to Northern Illinois ranked 136th in net yards per play. 

I expect the Bobcats' coaching staff will let Navarro air it out early and often to get his confidence back after last week’s poor showing. 

Navarro has thrown for 201-plus yards in five of the last seven games, so these -114 odds (53.27% implied probability) offer a great value for him to surpass this projected total. A $10 winning wager would net $8.77 in profit.

⬇️ Sieh Bangura player prop: Under 92.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐

Sieh Bangura was one of the only bright spots offensively for Ohio in the loss to Western Michigan. He ran for 97 yards and a touchdown while averaging 6.1 yards per carry, and Bangura is a major reason the Bobcats average almost as many rushing yards per game (202.7) as passing yards (207.6).

My main motivation for this three-star play is not expecting much volume for Bangura, especially in the second half if Ohio races out to a big lead as expected. Ohio was the first MAC team to become bowl eligible this season, and the coaching staff knows more important games are ahead. They won't want to get their star running back hurt in a blowout.

FanDuel’s -114 price to back the Under at 53.27% implied odds would net $8.77 in profit on a winning $10 wager if Bangura runs for 92 or fewer yards.

6️⃣ Best UMass vs. Ohio touchdown scorer bet

🔥 Chase Hendricks TD pick: Hendricks to score two-plus touchdowns (+350) ⭐⭐

Ohio’s Chase Hendricks has recorded six 100-plus yard games this year, two of which were against Power Four competition. Not only do his 858 receiving yards lead the MAC, but he's the No. 7 wide receiver in the country.

Hendricks’ six receiving touchdowns are triple the next closest teammate’s two scores, and he's already logged a two-touchdown game this year. While his -160 anytime touchdown odds at a 61.54% implied probability are too steep to back, I'm taking a flier on him scoring twice against a UMass defense that entered last week ranked 129th in points per drive allowed.

If Hendricks scores two-plus touchdowns, my $10 best UMass vs. Ohio touchdown scorer bet would net $35 in profits.
