Top 10 CFB Player Props For Rivalry Weekend

Rivalry Weekend: CFB Player Props Predictions

With Rivalry Weekend in full swing, here’s an in-depth analysis of some of the top college football player props for Saturday, based on FanDuel odds:


The Game: Michigan vs. Ohio State

TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
O/U 49.5 rushing yards: Take the OVER (-114)
Henderson is poised for a standout performance. Michigan’s defense, despite being strong, is likely to wear down due to prolonged time on the field. As a senior, Henderson has added motivation and could capitalize on tired defenders in the second half. Expect him to surpass this modest total, especially with the possibility of garbage-time carries.

Will Howard, QB, Ohio State
O/U 251.5 passing yards: Take the UNDER (-114)
Ohio State’s potent offense hasn’t required Howard to air it out for massive yardage in recent games. Given Michigan’s ability to limit big plays and the Buckeyes’ tendency to capitalize on short scoring drives, Howard likely stays below this mark.


Palmetto Bowl: South Carolina vs. Clemson

Lanorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina
O/U 198.5 passing yards: Take the OVER (-114)
Sellers has been a revelation in the latter half of the season, exceeding this total in five of his last six outings. Against Clemson’s solid but not elite pass defense, expect Sellers to find his rhythm and clear 200 yards by the fourth quarter.

Lanorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina
O/U 37.5 rushing yards: Take the OVER (-114)
Sellers’ dual-threat ability and consistent workload (14 carries per game) position him well to surpass this total. Clemson’s defense allows nearly 4.6 yards per carry, providing ample opportunities for Sellers to rack up rushing yards.

Phil Mafah, RB, Clemson
O/U 96.5 rushing yards: Take the UNDER (-114)
Mafah has been dependable, but South Carolina’s top-tier run defense is likely to limit his impact. With the Gamecocks allowing just over 100 rushing yards per game as a unit, Mafah may struggle to reach triple digits despite a heavy workload.


Battle for the Jeweled Shillelagh: Southern California vs. Notre Dame

Jayden Maiava, QB, USC
O/U 235.5 passing yards: Take the UNDER (-114)
Maiava faces the toughest test of his young career against Notre Dame’s No. 1 pass defense. While Maiava has shown promise, expect the Fighting Irish to stifle his production and keep him well below this total.


Lonestar Showdown: Texas vs. Texas A&M

Marcel Reed, QB, Texas A&M
O/U 180.5 passing yards: Take the OVER (-114)
Reed’s dynamic dual-threat skill set makes him a constant threat, even against a solid Texas defense. His recent performances suggest he can eclipse this total, especially if the Aggies rely on his arm to stay competitive.

Marcel Reed, QB, Texas A&M
O/U 0.5 passing touchdowns: Take the OVER (-220)
Reed’s ability to extend plays and make things happen in the red zone gives him a good chance to throw at least one touchdown. Even in a game where Texas is expected to control the tempo, Reed’s talent shines through.

Jaydon Blue, RB, Texas
O/U 45.5 rushing yards: Take the OVER (-114)
Blue has a favorable matchup against an A&M defense that often struggles early against the run. Splitting carries shouldn’t hinder his chances of hitting this total, as he could exceed it in the first half alone.


Final Thoughts

Rivalry Weekend is brimming with intense matchups and opportunities to cash in on player props. Whether it’s TreVeyon Henderson’s rushing yards or Lanorris Sellers showcasing his dual-threat abilities, these picks offer a solid foundation for an exciting day of college football action. Good luck!
