Week 14 of the college football season continues with a great Saturday slate.
These are the best player prop bets to consider on DraftKings Sportsbook for today’s action.
Week 14 Prop Bets
Washington vs. Oregon: Jonah Coleman Anytime TD (-140)
Jonah Coleman has been sensational for Washington all season. He is tied for the Big Ten lead in rushing touchdowns on the season with 14, good enough to rank seventh nationally. On top of that, Coleman has two receiving touchdowns, giving him an average of 1.6 touchdowns scored per game this season. Coleman has only failed to score in two games this season, against Ohio State, where Washington didn’t score a touchdown as a team, and against Wisconsin, where he left with an injury after five carries.
Coleman returned from injury for a small role in last week’s win over UCLA. Jedd Fisch didn’t want to overwork Coleman in his return, saving him for this game. However, Fisch knows this is a historic season for Coleman and made sure to give him a few goal-line carries so that he could score a touchdown. That emphasis from Fisch shows that they will try to get Coleman another touchdown or two by any means necessary. Oregon has a top-five pass defense by EPA/play, but ranks 25th in EPA/rush. The Ducks also rank 29th in defensive rushing success rate, compared to eighth in defensive dropback success rate. Washington should find success on the ground with their star back, resulting in him adding another touchdown to his season total.
Alabama vs. Auburn: Germie Bernard 66+ Receiving Yards (-115)
Germie Bernard is having a special season in Tuscaloosa. Bernard has been with Kalen DeBoer since his days at Washington, and DeBoer trusts Bernard implicitly. Ty Simpson has also formed a great connection with Bernard this season, getting him the ball in the red zone and on key third downs when Simpson needs a completion. Bernard leads the team in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns this season. The Crimson Tide needs one more big regular-season game out of Bernard to secure a College Football Playoff spot. Alabama takes on Auburn in the Iron Bowl on Saturday night, one of the best games in college football.
Auburn has one of the best run defenses in the nation, ranking seventh in defensive EPA/rush. Alabama doesn’t have much interest in running the ball anyway, but that ensures that it should be a pass-heavy attack from Alabama. The defensive success rate split is even more staggering, ranking second in the nation against the rush and 90th against the pass. Ty Simpson should look to his top target early and often in this game. Bernard has had at least 70 receiving yards in each of his past two games and should clear this number on Saturday night against Auburn.
