College Football Week 5 Player Prop Bets Odds, Picks & Predictions: Illinois vs. Wisconsin
Wisconsin RB Braelon Allen OVER 0.5 receiving touchdowns at Illinois (+950)
Am I crazy? I could be but when I saw this number I had to share it and tell everyone to take a flier on it. Don’t bet the house, but a $10 bet reaps a nice little reward here if it happens. Allen has only caught 13 passes in his young career and none for a score but can you think of a better play call inside the 5-yard-line that no one would expect. Illinois plays a brand of defense where they fly to the football so play action could keep them off balance and Allen is a big target. Plus it’s fun to see a rare +950 out there.
Illinois QB Tommy DeVito UNDER 199.5 passing yards at Wisconsin (-115)
This struck me as high in a game I feel will be slow paced with little passing. If Illinois falls behind they will need to throw but I see a whole lot of RB Chase Brown here and not a big Devito game. The Wisconsin defense is good against teams not named Ohio State and he’s not an accomplished passer.
What are Player Props?
Player props refer to wagers that bettors can make based on player performance in a specific game. The majority of player props are built around the most common statistical benchmarks for a specific sport such as yards and touchdowns in football. Most player props are straight over/under plays that open at or near -110 and are adjusted based on where the money lands. Examples of baseball player prop bets include over/under 4.5 strikeouts for a starting pitcher or over/under 1.5 total bases for a hitter.
