 College Football Week 11 Player Props

LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier’s passing yardage prop is set at 286.5 for their monumental showdown with Alabama. The Tigers are 2.5-point underdogs in the latest CFB odds. Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith’s receiving yardage prop sits at 88.5 yards.

Caden Durham Rushing Yards

While Garrett Nussmeier is thriving under center for LSU, the Tigers rushing attack has been less than impressive. LSU ranks 83rd in PFF’s run blocking grade (60.2), and have averaged just 122 rushing yards per game – 103rd in the FBS. Brian Kelly’s offensive line has been awful at opening up lanes for their ground game, and even star tackles Will Campbell and Emory Jones have failed to move the needle.

On the other side of the field, Alabama have been excellent against the run. The Crimson Tide rank seventh in the country in PFF’s run-defense grade, and surrender just 3.7 yards per carry. Plus, Alabama’s defense have allowed only 4.5 yards per play this season, and 17th in the nation in EPA allowed per rush. Explosive plays have been hard to come by against a notoriously stout Alabama defensive front.

Additionally, Caden Durham has failed to live up to expectations against ranked opponents this season. In fact, the freshman back has rushed for just 52 yards on 23 carries against Ole Miss and Texas A&M. Remember, LSU running backs gained just 43 yards on 13 carries in last year’s “First Saturday in November” matchup. Don’t expect to see a ton of Durham in Week 11 as the Crimson Tide force Nussmeier to move the football through the air on Saturday night. Bet Caden Durham under 48.5 rushing yards as our favorite college football week 11 player prop.

Pick: Caden Durham under 48.5 rushing yards (-114)

Kurtis Rourke Passing Touchdowns

Indiana’s perfect start has been the story of the 2024 college football season. The Hoosiers are 9-0 for the first time in program history, after they destroyed Michigan State 47-10 last Saturday. A stiffer test in last year’s National Champion Michigan Wolverines awaits in Week 11.

However, Michigan’s defense isn’t the same unit in 2024. The Wolverines rank 90th in PFF coverage grade (74.6). Importantly, their back seven (linebackers and defensive backs) rank just 66th in total PFF grade. Sherrone Moore’s stop unit will have a tough time shutting down the Hoosiers top-tier passing attack.

After all, Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke boasts a 90+ passing grade in every possible metric this season. He’s also tossed for multiple touchdowns three of his past four games, with a total of 19 and only three interceptions. Expect Rourke to have a big game against an overmatched Michigan secondary.

Pick: Kurtis Rourke over 1.5 passing touchdowns (-174)

As we head into Week 11 of the college football season, there are plenty of exciting matchups on the schedule for Saturday, November 9th. While fans are eagerly anticipating these games, bettors are also looking for opportunities to cash in on player props. Here are some top picks for Saturday’s games:

1. Jalen Hurts, QB, Oklahoma – Hurts has been putting up impressive numbers all season long and is facing a tough matchup against Iowa State this week. Look for Hurts to continue his stellar play and put up big numbers in both passing and rushing yards.

2. Chuba Hubbard, RB, Oklahoma State – Hubbard has been one of the most productive running backs in the country this season and is facing a weak Kansas defense this week. Expect Hubbard to have a big game and put up some gaudy rushing numbers.

3. Justin Fields, QB, Ohio State – Fields has been a revelation for the Buckeyes this season and is facing a tough test against Maryland this week. However, Fields has shown that he can put up big numbers against any defense and should have a big game on Saturday.

4. Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin – Taylor is one of the best running backs in the country and is facing a tough matchup against Iowa this week. However, Taylor has shown that he can produce against any defense and should have a big game on Saturday.

5. Joe Burrow, QB, LSU – Burrow has been lighting up the scoreboard all season long and is facing a tough Alabama defense this week. However, Burrow has shown that he can put up big numbers against any defense and should have a big game on Saturday.

When placing bets on player props for college football games, it’s important to consider factors such as the strength of the opposing defense, the player’s recent performance, and any injuries that may impact their performance. By keeping these factors in mind and making informed decisions, bettors can increase their chances of success when wagering on college football player props.
