NFL Week 9 FTN Staff Bets
FTN Staff
It’s crazy to think we are already into Week 10 of the college football season. Things have flown by, and we are just about ready to jump into college basketball as well. But first, we have some advantageous props that are going to help us get to the window this weekend.
Let’s get into it.
Rocco Becht (Iowa State) 250+ Passing Yards
(-135, DraftKings Sportsbook)
The Cyclones are coming off a bye after a thrilling 38-35 Week 8 win over UCF. In that game, Rocco Becht was sensational and led the game-winning drive that gave Iowa State their seventh win. He has thrown for over 250 yards in five of his seven games played this year and gets an extremely favorable matchup against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
Tech is giving up 308.3 YPG through the air, and there is no reason to think they’ll suddenly start clamping down especially with a tough road matchup against Iowa State on tap. Each of the last four QBs they’ve faced have gone above the 250-yard mark as well, which includes TCU’s Josh Hoover (344 yards), Baylor’s Sawyer Robertson (274 yards), Arizona’s Noah Fifita (301 yards) and Cincy’s Brendan Sorsby (426 yards). Ironically, they somehow contained Chandler Morris and North Texas, which is an offense that normally scored 35-plus points with ease. Rocco Becht to the moon.
DJ Giddens (Kansas State) 100+ Rushing Yards
(-115, DraftKings Sportsbook)
Giddens has been one of the most consistent backs in the Big 12 and continues to produce at a high level despite playing behind a mobile quarterback. He has rushed for over 100 yards in five of eight games this year and three of his last four.
The Houston Cougars have looked far better lately than they did early in the year, but they’re still nothing more than a bottom of the conference team. Giddens combination of efficiency and opportunity should push him above the century mark for a sixth time.
