Spotlight on Miller Moss Passing Yards
One of the most intriguing player props this week is for USC’s junior quarterback, Miller Moss, whose passing yards prop is set at 269.5. Moss has had a promising start to his season, throwing for 378 yards against LSU and 229 yards against Utah State. However, this week he faces a formidable Michigan Wolverines defense, which poses a significant challenge.
The Wolverines, last season’s National Champions, have a reputation for stifling opposing offenses. They allowed over 269 passing yards only once last year, and while they have lost some talent to the NFL and transfer portal, they still boast elite players like cornerback Will Johnson and defensive linemen Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant. Johnson, in particular, has not allowed a touchdown in over two years, making him a daunting matchup for any quarterback.
Moreover, Michigan’s defense has been effective this season, allowing only 234.3 passing yards per game at an average of 6.1 yards per pass attempt. With four sacks already recorded this season, expect Michigan to apply pressure on Moss, potentially leading to mistakes that could keep him under his passing yardage prop.
Pick: Miller Moss UNDER 269.5 Passing Yards (-114)
Emeka Egbuka Receiving Yards
Another player prop worth considering is for Ohio State’s receiver Emeka Egbuka, whose receiving yards prop is set at 67.5. Historically, fading Ohio State receivers has proven to be a profitable strategy, especially when they face teams they are heavily favored against.
This week, the Buckeyes take on the Marshall Thundering Herd, with a staggering spread of 39.5 points. Such a lopsided matchup typically results in fewer opportunities for the team’s top receivers, and Egbuka has already seen his role diminish with the emergence of freshman Jeremiah Smith as the primary target.
Egbuka has managed only nine catches for 149 yards this season, and with Ohio State’s running game averaging 6.2 yards per carry, they are likely to lean heavily on their ground attack against Marshall. The Buckeyes’ dynamic duo of Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson has been effective, combining for 294 yards on just 40 carries. This trend suggests that Egbuka may struggle to exceed his receiving yards prop.
Pick: Emeka Egbuka UNDER 67.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

With Week 4 of college football upon us, the player prop landscape is filled with exciting opportunities. Whether you’re looking to back or fade certain players, understanding the matchups and recent performances is crucial.
