There are a lot of college football players set up for big performances in Week 3. Here is how to bet on these player props on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Alabama vs. Wisconsin: Jalen Milroe o44.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
Jalen Milroe and the Crimson Tide are taking on Wisconsin in a cross-conference battle this week. Wisconsin is really solid at the linebacker position and in the secondary, but not as strong on the defensive line. Alabama also has some injuries at the tackle positions which could allow for some pass rush despite that not being a strong suit for Wisconsin. That should lead to a big Jalen Milroe rushing performance. Milroe had 79 rushing yards in Week 1 and should get back to that game against this Wisconsin defense.
South Carolina vs. LSU: Raheim Sanders o63.5 Rushing Yards (-125)
Sanders went for 88 yards in Week 1 but just 54 last week. That number has provided some value in the Sanders rushing prop because it doesn’t tell the full story. South Carolina was constantly getting prime field position because of Kentucky’s turnovers and poor offensive play so he didn’t have much field to work with.
This will be a much different story against a good LSU offense and South Carolina should heavily lean on Sanders to grind out possessions and run the clock. A rainy forecast could also give South Carolina an even more run-heavy approach. Sanders leads all of college football in broken tackles so far this season and should be able to grind out some good runs against an undisciplined LSU defense missing their star defensive tackle.
Michigan vs. Arkansas State: Colston Loveland Anytime TD (+110)
Loveland had eight catches in both of Michigan’s first two games. Their passing game looks really shaky and Loveland seems like the only target that Davis Warren is comfortable throwing to. Michigan was outmatched by Texas overall but Loveland did score a touchdown in Michigan’s first game against Fresno State. They are big favorites this week and should be able to get the offense going a bit better, giving Loveland more red zone chances.
Tulsa vs. Oklahoma State: Kamdyn Benjamin o51.5 Receiving Yards (-125)
Kamdyn Benjamin is a rising star in college football that the casual fan may not know about yet because he plays at Tulsa. Benjamin is a big play machine with 11 catches for 196 yards (17.8 YPC) and two touchdowns through two games this season. He now steps up a level in competition against a Big 12 opponent, but Oklahoma State is terrible against the pass. The Cowboys rank dead last in passing defense this season and Benjamin would love to announce himself to the nation with a huge game on this stage.
South Dakota State’s star WR went for 150 yards in Week 1 against Oklahoma State and Arkansas’ star wide receiver went for 164 yards last week. Benjamin could fly over this number against a terrible secondary.
Washington vs. Washington State: Giles Jackson Anytime TD (+135)
This game should be a shootout between two explosive offenses. These are two of the top 15 passing offenses in the country when it comes to EPA/pass. Giles Jackson has been the go-to guy for Will Rogers in this Washington offense so far this season. Washington has played two significantly inferior opponents so far and come with relatively conservative game plans so far, and Jackson has still put up big numbers. He has 16 catches for 164 yards across the two games and they have even given him a carry out of the backfield. This is a close spread against their rival and with a new head coach in town, Washington should make a statement in this game and get Jackson in the end zone.
