Carson Beck Passing Yards

Georgia is still a behemoth. Even after losing Ladd McConkey and Brock Bowers to the NFL, the former back-to-back National Champions are still a force to be reckoned with. However, their passing game efficiency has dipped significantly without those two weapons on the field. In fact, the Bulldogs PFF passing grade on non-play action plays has fallen all the way to 54.5, good for 113th in the nation. Most concerning, their EPA/play in this non-play action situations has dropped to 0.110, which sits 44th.

Additionally, Beck has tossed for more than his Week 5 college football player prop of 247.5 yards just once this season, against an overmatched Clemson side in Week 1. He’ll find an attacking Alabama’s stingy passing defense much tougher sledding.

— Touchdown Alabama (@TDAlabamaMag) September 25, 2024

After all, the Crimson Tide sit fifth in the nation in passing yards per game allowed at 115.7, and top the FBS in opponent yards per pass at 3.2. They’ve also allowed opponents to convert on just 16% of third downs and generated 38 quarterback hurries in just three games.

Without his top-two receiving threats from last year, Beck is in store for a rough night in Tuscaloosa. Bet on his under 247.5 passing yards prop with confidence.

• Pick: Carson Beck under 247.5 passing yards (-114)

 Ja’Corey Brooks Receiving Yards

Senior receiver Ja’Corey Brooks is off to a hot start for Louisville, racking up 17 catches for 297 yards and two touchdowns this season. However, the Notre Dame defense is a different beast.

Top tier cover men Benjamin Morrison and Xavier Watts patrol the back end of Marcus Freeman’s defense. They’re a huge reason why the Fighting Irish have been an elite passing defense this season, sitting third in EPA per play and second in PFF’s coverage grade in the FBS.

Moreover, only two players have exceeded Brooks’ 71.5 receiving yardage prop against Notre Dame across their last 10 games. Only Northern Illinois running back Antario Brown has gone over that total against the Fighting Irish this season. Back Notre Dame’s defense to hold Louisville’s passing attack in check on Saturday. Bet Ja’Corey Brooks under 71.5 receiving yards as one of our best college football week 5 player props.

Pick: Ja’Corey Brooks under 71.5 receiving yards (-114)

As we head into Week 5 of the college football season, there are plenty of exciting matchups to look forward to. And for those looking to add a little extra excitement to the games, player prop bets are a great way to do just that. Here are some top college football player prop bets to consider for Saturday, September 28th.

1. Jalen Hurts – Oklahoma QB
Jalen Hurts has been lighting up the college football world since transferring to Oklahoma from Alabama. In Week 5, he faces off against Texas Tech, a team that has struggled on defense this season. Look for Hurts to have a big game through the air and on the ground. Bet on him to throw for over 300 yards and rush for over 100 yards.

2. Jonathan Taylor – Wisconsin RB
Jonathan Taylor is one of the top running backs in college football and he has a favorable matchup against Northwestern in Week 5. Taylor has been putting up big numbers all season and should continue that trend on Saturday. Bet on him to rush for over 150 yards and score at least two touchdowns.

3. Justin Herbert – Oregon QB
Justin Herbert is another quarterback to keep an eye on in Week 5. He faces off against Stanford, a team that has struggled on defense this season. Herbert has been efficient and effective all season and should have a big game against the Cardinal. Bet on him to throw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns.

4. Jerry Jeudy – Alabama WR
Jerry Jeudy is one of the top wide receivers in college football and he has a favorable matchup against Ole Miss in Week 5. Jeudy has been a big-play threat all season and should continue that trend on Saturday. Bet on him to have over 100 receiving yards and score at least one touchdown.

5. Chase Young – Ohio State DE
Chase Young is one of the top defensive players in college football and he has a favorable matchup against Nebraska in Week 5. Young has been wreaking havoc on opposing offenses all season and should continue that trend on Saturday. Bet on him to record at least two sacks and force a turnover.

These are just a few of the top college football player prop bets to consider for Week 5. Remember to do your research and consider factors such as matchups, injuries, and recent performance when placing your bets. Good luck!
