    Saturday's Best College Football Player Prop Bets & Picks

    Let’s dive into our top college football Week 6 player prop bet picks on Saturday’s slate of games.

    Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss) Under 284.5 passing yards (-114)

    Kentucky's defense had its way with the Ole Miss offense last week, holding the Rebels to 17 points (38 below their previous season average). Because of Ole Miss' offensive inefficiency, it suffered its first loss in five seasons when allowing 20 or fewer points.

    Jaxson Dart had one completion of 20-plus air yards last week after entering the game with an FBS-high 15 such completions. Dart could not get into a rhythm as the Rebels offensive line allowed pressure on a season-high 36% of dropbacks last week, and he should be in for a similarly frustrating game going against a Gamecocks front that averages 3.5 sacks per game. 

    South Carolina's Kyle Kennard's 5.5 sacks are the most in the SEC, and the end on the other side, Dylan Stewart, has chipped in 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. 

    There is no doubt that Lane Kiffin’s offense is going to play fast and that Dart will still sling it a bunch in this game. But he will likely not have time to let things develop downfield or hit many explosive plays in the passing game, so I expect his number to be somewhat muted for a second consecutive week.

    Kaleb Johnson (Iowa) Under 85.5 rushing yards (-114)

    Kaleb Johnson is clearly the focal point of the Iowa running game, as he has accounted for 48.8% of the team's carries and 68.4% of its rushing yards. Johnson's 685 rushing yards rank second in the country, and his 8.4 yards per carry average ranks third among all running backs with a minimum of 45 rushes this season. However, he is about to face a Buckeyes defensive line that has allowed 1.9 yards per carry to this point, and ranks second in EPA/Rush Allowed.

    Despite Johnson's talents, Iowa's offense should not be able to sustain drives against an Ohio State defense that ranks in the top 12 in third-down conversion rates allowed.

    Under backers will find great value in making this wager at FanDuel, despite the steeper -114 odds, as other top sports betting sites like bet365 have Johnson's O/U set at 79.5.

    Nico Iamaleava (Tennessee) Under 28.5 rushing yards (-114)

    This O/U is right in line with Nico Iamaleava's season total, as he has averaged 29 rushing yards per game. However, Tennessee faces an Arkansas defense that is more susceptible to the pass, ranking 89th in passing yards per game allowed.

    Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel would likely be all for padding Iamaleava's statistics for his Heisman resume, and the Volunteers are the nation's highest-scoring team. But Tennessee's next two games are against arguably its biggest SEC rival (Florida) and a home game with No. 1 Alabama, and Heupel will likely run Iamaleava less to make sure he is fully healthy for that gauntlet.

    There are still recent memories of Tennessee losing starting quarterback and Heisman hopeful Hendon Hooker to a torn ACL two years ago, so it would not be surprising to see Iamaleava placed in bubble wrap metaphorically ahead of the team's toughest stretch of games.
