The first round of the College Football Playoff continues with three great games on Saturday.
These are the best player prop bets to consider on DraftKings Sportsbook for today’s action.
College Football Playoff Prop Bets
Miami vs. Texas A&M: Gerard Pringle Jr. 40+ Rushing Yards (-102)
Gerard Pringle Jr. had a fantastic second half of the season for the Hurricanes. Pringle was the third-string running back for the Hurricanes for the first half of the season. However, he led Miami in rushing yards in each of its final four games. The freshman rushed for at least 49 yards in each of those final four games. Miami should lean on Pringle in this massive game against Texas A&M. They will be facing a hostile road environment, and the best thing the Hurricanes can do to make life easy on Carson Beck is running the ball, slowing the game down, and taking the crowd out of it. Texas A&M ranks 84th in the nation in defensive EPA/rush. The Hurricanes will lean on the freshman early in the game, and Pringle should be able to break a few of those runs for decent gains to get to at least 40 rushing yards.
Tulane vs. Ole Miss: Kewan Lacy 2+ TDs (-105)
Kewan Lacy has been one of the best running backs in the country this season. He finished ninth in the nation with over 1,200 rushing yards. Lacy also rushed for 20 touchdowns, the second-most of any player in the country. My best prop bet for this game is for Lacy to score at least two touchdowns against Tulane. These two teams faced off in the regular season, and Ole Miss gashed them on the ground. The Rebels ran for 241 yards in that game, and Lacy rushed for two scores. Lacy ended the season on fire, rushing for at least two scores in four of his final six games. Ole Miss should grind it on the ground and fully control this game, which should lead to Lacy finding the end zone at least twice.
Oregon vs. James Madison: Jordon Davison 50+ Rushing Yards (-105)
Jordon Davison has spent this season in the backup role in the Ducks’ backfield. Noah Whittington has been the clear lead back, but Davison has been fantastic in his own right. The freshman didn’t play much of a role early in the season, but ever since the Ducks’ big game against Indiana, he has been consistently solid. Davison rushed for at least 50 yards in six of the Ducks’ final seven games, including two 100+-yard performances. Davison should be relied upon against James Madison. The Dukes have an elite defense, but they have been stronger against the pass than the rush. James Madison is sharp on the back end, but Oregon’s offensive line has the chance to control the James Madison defensive line, despite the latter’s quality. Davison provides a good change of pace and could break a couple of explosive runs in this game. He should keep his hot streak going and rush for at least 50 yards once again.
