College Football Props of the Week: Week 11

Week 11 brings us lots of intriguing college football games, but there are two prop bets in particular that I feel extremely confident about. The Colorado-Texas Tech matchup may resemble an old game of Tecmo Bowl so that’s where we are headed for one of our picks. I’m also looking at the Ohio State Buckeyes to kick-start their offense after stalling out the last few weeks, and there is a window trip in our future with a player prop from their team. Let’s get into it.

Shedeur Sanders (Colorado) 400+ Passing Yards

(+400, FanDuel Sportsbook)

This is an alt line prop, but I absolutely love it. Colorado is facing a Texas Tech defense that is surrendering over 300 YPG through the air. Multiple quarterbacks have burned them for 300-plus yards, but the reason I’m going with such a big number here with Sanders is, because they have a dynamic offense capable of taking full advantage of the Red Raiders deficiencies. 

Sanders has thrown for over 2,500 yards this season with a completion rate of 73.3%. The game is projected to be close, and it has a total over 60 points so we know there will be plenty of offense. The key to getting to this number will be the Red Raiders offense keeping up and they can do that with their all-world RB Tahj Brooks. Tech was taken to OT in Week 1 against Abilene Christian and the Wildcats QB threw for 506 yards on 51 attempts in that one. Sanders throwing for 400 or more yards has a very real chance of happening. These odds make it well worth taking a shot.

Quinshon Judkins (Ohio State) 100+ Rushing Yards

(+125, DraftKings Sportsbook)

This is a get right spot for the Buckeyes offense. They’ve still been winning games, but it’s hard to feel good about the team with the way their offense has played. They’ll be facing off against a poor Purdue defense and I believe we are going to see a vintage Quinshon Judkins performance. The Boilermakers are giving up 203.3 YPG on the ground, and they’re certainly going to have their work cut out for them with Judkins and Tre Henderson.

One thing to point out is that Henderson doesn’t look healthy, and it’s affected his play. Judkins should see somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 touches, which is more than enough for him to fly past the century mark as he has done so many times in his career.
