Best College Football Player Props for Week 7
| Player | Matchup | Player Prop Pick |
|---|---|---|
| Nick Marsh (Indiana) | Ohio State vs Indiana | Over 75.5 Receiving Yards |
| Anthony Colandrea (Nebraska) | Nebraska vs Oregon | Over 208.5 Passing Yards |
Nick Marsh Player Prop Pick: Over 75.5 Receiving Yards vs Ohio State
Why We’re Betting Nick Marsh Over 75.5 Receiving Yards
With all the hype surrounding Jeremiah Smith entering Saturday’s Ohio State vs Indiana matchup, we’re going to look the other way and take Hoosiers transfer wide receiver Nick Marsh to go over 75.5 receiving yards on Saturday.
If Indiana wants a shot at winning this game then Marsh is going to have to play a big factor averaging 88 receiving yards per game so far this season.
His last two games he has totaled 307 receiving yards on 13 catches at Rutgers and Nebraska and is the primary threat through the air for Indiana alongside receiver Charlie Becker.
Marsh and Becker have combined for 59 catches this season with no other pass catcher on Indiana notching double digit receptions in total on the season.
Sure, Ohio State allows just 150 passing yards per game, but they haven’t exactly gone against many top passing offenses in the nation including the likes of Ball State, Kent State, Iowa and Maryland.
It was actually Becker in the Big Ten Championship last season who lit the Ohio State secondary up notching 126 receiving yards so it should be interesting to see how the Buckeyes adjust now having to worry about Marsh as well.
Marsh is averaging 18.2 yards per catch this season so he should need just 4-5 receptions to clear 75.5 receiving yards in a critical game against Ohio State at home.
It’s also worth noting that Marsh has a touchdown catch in every game this season for Indiana except one so a sprinkle on his touchdown prop at +120 is worth it as well. Regardless we think Marsh will be utilized enough on Saturday to go over 75.5 receiving yards against the Buckeyes.
College Football Player Prop Pick: Nick Marsh Over 75.5 Receiving Yards
Anthony Colandrea Player Prop Pick: Over 208.5 Passing Yards vs Penn State
Why We’re Betting Anthony Colandrea Over 208.5 Passing Yards
The Cornhuskers had Indiana where they wanted them last week up 11 in the fourth quarter but eventually blew that lead later in the fourth quarter eventually losing the game 20-17.
Nebraska quarterback Anthony Colandrea had 264 yards passing in that game as we’ll look for him to go over 208.5 passing yards in Saturday night’s tilt at Oregon.
It’s been an up and down season for the Ducks who lost Dante Moore three weeks ago at USC but won that game 41-27 however they dropped their game last week at home to UCLA 17-15.
Oregon’s passing defense has been mediocre at best this season allowing 226 passing yards per game which ranks 14th of 18 Big Ten teams.
Colandrea is averaging 234 passing yards per game and has surpassed 208.5 passing yards in all but one game this season. Colandrea is averaging 11.8 yards per completion so he’ll need 18 completions to get there while averaging 20 completions per game so far this season.
With Oregon having trouble moving the ball at home last week against UCLA we expect the Cornhuskers to have tons of opportunities to control the clock through Colandrea’s legs and arm. Take him to go over 208.5 passing yards in what will be the final game on the card in college football Week 7.
