College Football Player Prop Bets for Tuesday’s Bowl Games (12/31)
We’ve got a fun build-up to Tuesday’s first College Football Playoff (CFP) quarter-final game.
Alabama will play Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl, followed by Louisville’s match against Washington in the Sun Bowl. During that game, South Carolina and Illinois will kick off in the Citrus Bowl, and Baylor will battle LSU in the Texas Bowl at the same time.
It’ll be Penn State-Boise State by nighttime in the first quarter-final matchup. However, we’ve got articles specifically for that game. I’ll add player props for the four bowl games before the CFP matchup.

Tuesday’s Best College Football Player Prop Bets & Picks
Let’s dive into our top college football player prop bet picks for Tuesday’s college football bowl games.
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Jonah Coleman Over 63.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Jonah Coleman has added at least 64 rushing yards in 83% of games this season. He’s also hit this line in eight of his last 10 games and 75% of his previous 20 games.
He’ll take on a Louisville defense that is typically great against the run. However, the Cardinals allowed 135.42 yards per game on the ground this season. Some of that had to do with poor tackling. Ultimately, in most games, a play or two broke out against the Cardinals in the run game.
Jonah Coleman can do just that. Coleman added nearly five yards per rush over his last 10 games. He also averaged a long rush of 23.2 yards per game over the same 10 games. I’m confident Coleman can have a big day against Louisville.
LaNorris Sellers Over 49.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers added 166 rushing yards against Clemson his last time out. He ultimately added at least 50 rushing yards in 50% of games this season and is on a current two-game streak with at least 50.
Don’t overlook Sellers running all over Clemson. Not many teams or players are capable of doing such a thing. That said, Sellers has added at least 13 rushing attempts in eight consecutive games and has averaged a long rush of 23.9 yards per game. He’s also earned at least 4.1 yards per carry in three of his last five matchups.
If there’s anything Illinois lacks defensively, it’s a good defensive line. Look for Sellers to toy around with this group and add extra yards with his feet.
Bryson Washington Over 102.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Baylor is on a six-game winning streak and Bryson Washington’s running plays a big role in that. Washington has accumulated at least 113 rushing yards in five of the last six games. He still rushed for 78 yards in the game he didn’t reach 113 rushing yards during that span.
Washington has averaged 5.8 yards a carry and has totaled at least 26 rushing attempts in three of his last four games.
Meanwhile, LSU’s defense is depleted. They’re working hard in the transfer portal, and many players have decided to transfer elsewhere. Washington is in line for a huge day.
