College Football Playoff Prop Bets: Texas vs. Arizona State (Peach Bowl)
The Texas Longhorns will play the Arizona State Sun Devils in the College Football Playoff (CFP) quarter-finals in the Peach Bowl.
Once Texas dipped from the Big 12 and landed in the SEC, the Arizona State Sun Devils took advantage and left the Pac-12 for the Big 12. It was a great move for both squads.
Texas reached the SEC Championship game and is currently the best team in the playoff pool of teams that didn’t win a Conference Championship. Meanwhile, Arizona State, picked last by many in the Big 12, won the conference in its first season.
Arizona State has been the underdog all year. After this quarter-final matchup, will the underdog story add another chapter?

Texas vs. Arizona State Best College Football Player Prop Bets & Picks
Let’s dive into our top college football prop bet picks for the Peach Bowl.
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Quinn Ewers Under 251.5 Passing Yards (-114)
In the first College Football Playoff game, Quinn Ewers added just 202 passing yards against Clemson. Texas took control of the game early but ultimately cruised throughout and won by multiple scores.
That’s been a theme for Texas. But even when Ewers throws for 32+ passing attempts, he still struggles to reach a high amount of passing yards.
For example, he threw 32 times against Arkansas and only gained 176 passing yards. Against Kentucky, he added 31 passing attempts but only gained 191 passing yards. Thus, Ewers has thrown below eight yards per pass attempt.
Take his passing yards under.
Cam Skattebo Over 99.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Cam Skattebo has recorded at least 147 yards rushing in six of his last eight games. He’s got a difficult matchup against Texas, but if Arizona State wants a chance, Skattebo will have to break out to gain some big gains against Texas.
In the Big 12 Championship, Skattebo ran for 10.6 yards a carry but only recorded 16 attempts. Typically, he’ll get about 22 rushing attempts per game. In addition, he’s averaging a long rush of 27.7 yards through his last 10 games.
The senior leader thought he should’ve been a Heisman Trophy finalist, but he was left out. He’ll want to prove himself on the big stage. Take Skattebo to go over his rushing yards prop line.
Xavier Guillory Under 34.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Xavier Guillory has added at least 35 receiving yards in only 27% of his games this season. He most recently recorded just 29 receiving yards against Iowa State last time out.
Guillory hasn’t had a game with more than two receptions in seven straight games. He’s ultimately known for making big plays down the field, averaging 16.8 yards a catch. But we’re talking about Texas’ secondary here. I don’t think Sam Leavitt will take chances down the field against this defense.
Instead, the Arizona State offense will want to be slow and methodical. Give it to Skattebo and complete over 70% of passes with Leavitt. Therefore, take the under on Guillory’s receiving yards prop.
