Tanner Morgan Under 1.5 Passing Touchdowns
We’re sure some yards will actually be put up against the Illinois defense, finally, but let’s face it, the last time we saw Tanner Morgan, he was confused and stymied at every turn against Purdue. That’s a Purdue defense that had looked like Swiss cheese against Syracuse and had plenty of not-to-like moments in the early stages of the season.
In fact, Morgan has only thrown multiple touchdown passes in two games this year and has gone as many games without a single touchdown pass. He’s been a revelation this season with Kirk Ciarrocca back as his offensive coordinator, but this Illinois defense is playing on a completely different level.
The Illini have allowed just two total passing touchdowns this season. The Illinois defense is for real and has the right scheme (3-4 shell, 3-3-5 coverage) to shut down the passing lanes for Morgan and Co.
Jaxson Dart Under 214.5 Passing Yards
Don’t touch the Jaxson Dart touchdown prop this time around, as the passing defense has been Auburn’s best facet so far this season. The naturally-gifted Dart should have plenty of throwing lanes within the confines of a clean pocket with his offensive line blocking the way they are, but can he get to 215 yards?

Auburn utilizes pressured situations to limit passing attacks in the air. And to be fair, they haven’t really played an offense known for their aerial assaults this season, as the best passing offense they’ve faced is Georgia’s. We all know how much of the Bulldogs’ passing offense is buoyed by their defense and rushing attack.
Dart is averaging 226 yards per game this year and leans heavily on his play-action passing to generate yards and favorable throwing lanes. Auburn hasn’t given up a play-action passing touchdown all season long and has played incredibly balanced in coverage. Dart may have looked impressive last week but should come back down to Earth today.
Jack Plummer Under 247.5 Passing Yards
This one is simple: Colorado’s run defense is so bad, the Cal Bears shouldn’t have to throw it at all in this game. Jack Plummer won’t have the opportunity to hit 248 yards. With this in mind, see below, as Jaydn Ott has player props for days in this incredibly favorable matchup.
Taulia Tagovailoa Over 305.5 Passing Yards
Indiana’s defense has been an incredibly disappointing unit this year. They’ve given up 16 touchdowns through the air, 12.4 yards per completion, and over 280 yards per game, a bottom-15 figure in the country. Tagovailoa has hit the 300-yard mark in every conference game this season except against Michigan.
He’s improved his mechanics, and his success downfield has also improved this year. He’s on a career-best pace for completion percentage and yards per attempt, while he’s shown the ability to light up the field against poor defenses. That’s Indiana alright.
Jaydn Ott Over 97.5 Rushing Yards
Colorado’s defense is giving up an incredible 294.2 rushing yards per game. That’s the most in the country by almost 50 yards. They’re allowing ball carriers to run for 6.7 yards per attempt.
Only three teams are giving up more than 6.0 yards per attempt and no other team allows more than 6.3. These are staggeringly bad figures for a Buffaloes team that has not had any success this season and is without a head coach.
Jaydn Ott should have a field day, as the true freshman is averaging 7.2 yards per attempt and showcased his athletic prowess against Arizona just three weeks ago. With a week off to get healthy, this Cal team will be ready to hand Colorado a thorough beating on the ground with Ott leading the charge.
Jahmyr Gibbs Over 25.5 Receiving Yards
Bryce Young or Jalen Milroe? It shouldn’t matter, as Jahmyr Gibbs is more than just a safety net out of the backfield in the passing game.
Gibbs is a focal point of the Alabama offense both on the ground and on wide screens in designed situations. Gibbs should be able to find space against an aggressive Tennessee defense, as the Vols’ weakest area on defense is their coverage in the flats.
Dontay Demus Jr. Over 32.5 Receiving Yards
As stated above, the Indiana defense is incredibly defeated on the backend in coverage. Dontay Demus Jr. has the ability to take games over and win downfield. His speed is unmatched, and he’s due for a big game.
In the pass-happy Maryland offense, Demus has seen his fair share of targets but hasn’t quite capitalized on them as much as we’d expect. Still, he’s coming off his best performance to date and should be thought of as a sleeper prop bet pick.
Jaydn Ott Over 0.5 Rushing Touchdowns
As stated, this Colorado defense is the nation’s worst run defense. Ott has scored five touchdowns on the ground including a three-touchdown performance in Week 5. He’s scored in two straight outings and will get the carries in the short-yardage situations and in the red zone. He’s almost a lock to score against the Buffs.
DJ Uiagalelei Over 0.5 Rushing Touchdowns
Florida State’s defense is notoriously known for being unable to stop scrambling quarterbacks. DJ Uiagalalei isn’t quite the usual scrambling quarterback, but his prowess on the ground this season is too much to overlook. He’s already scored three touchdowns on the ground in 2022 after scoring four in each of the past two seasons.
FSU allowed two rushing scores to Malik Cunningham earlier in the year, as they just narrowly escaped with a victory because of Cunningham’s ability on the ground. DJU has been much better throwing the ball this season, but with his massive 6’4″, 240-pound frame, he’ll be tough for a banged-up defensive front to stop on the ground.
