College Football Week 8 Player Prop Picks: Best Picks for Saturday
Our college football Week 8 prop picks will be looking for a bounce-back showing.
Week 7 marked the first losing card in over a month, with Cade Klubnik’s passing yards prop being the lone winner on a 1-2 day. But we can’t spend too much time worrying about what went wrong.
We went 1-1 on Friday and offer another two picks for Saturday's slate.
Read on for my favorite player props this weekend as part of our Week 8 college football predictions.

Best player prop bets for Saturday
Isaiah Horton Over 40.5 receiving yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Miami and Louisville could be in a bit of a shootout Saturday, so there are plenty of player prop markets worth monitoring in this game. My favorite is Over 40.5 receiving yards for Miami receiver Isaiah Horton.
Horton has established himself as the No. 2 receiver in recent weeks. He caught nine passes for 83 yards in a road win over California two weeks ago. He has earned 24 targets over the last three games, turning that into 20 catches for 225 yards.
Bettors have pushed this total from 37.5 to 45.5 at FanDuel, which is a good sign that the Over is the right side. I project more than 50 yards for Horton, so I’m comfortable betting this up to 44.5.
We broke down this game from every angle in our Miami vs. Louisville prediction.
Best odds: -115 via bet365 | Implied probability: 53.49%

Jalon Daniels Over 1.5 passing touchdowns (+110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
No team needed a bye week more than Kansas, and no player needed it more than Daniels. I expect both to rebound at home this weekend in a game where the Jayhawks are 5-point favorites against Houston.
Daniels has thrown seven touchdowns and eight interceptions through six games to start the season. The Jayhawks have lost five in a row.
But things started to look better against Arizona State right before the bye. That was the first game that Daniels didn’t throw an interception all year, and just the second time he tossed multiple passing touchdowns.
Our best sportsbooks offer an attractive +110 price for Daniels to throw two-plus touchdowns, and I’m scooping it up since I project 2.2 passing scores for the KU signal-caller.
Best odds: +110 via Caesars | Implied probability: 47.62%

Best player prop bets for Friday
Maalik Murphy Under 217.5 passing yards (-117) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ✅
Let’s start our best player props for Week 8 off with a nice winner on Friday night, shall we?
I think the best sports betting apps are being too optimistic about Murphy when his Duke squad squares off with Florida State. He hasn’t cleared this mark in three straight games despite completing passes of 65 and 71 yards over that span.
Murphy isn’t a volume passer, averaging 15.66 completions per contest over the last three games. He needs the big play to reach 200-plus yards, but his longest completion is trading at 40.5 as of this writing.
With a projection below 200 yards, I believe this Under has plenty of value and would play it at 214.5 or better.
Mike Spector is also fading the passer on the other side in his Florida State vs. Duke prediction.
Best odds: -117 via Caesars | Implied probability: 53.92%
Dillon Gabriel Under 0.5 interceptions (-139) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ❌
Fresh off a signature win over Ohio State, the Oregon Ducks won’t have to do too much as four-touchdown favorites against Purdue on Friday. That’s especially true for Gabriel.
Gabriel has averaged 35.66 attempts per contest in Big Ten play. He only had one game where he attempted more than 24 passes against inferior competition in his first three weeks.
I expect the latter when it comes to Friday’s potential game script. There is no reason for the Ducks to lean on Gabriel’s arm, which is why his passing yards prop has dropped to 292.5 after throwing for 341 yards last weekend.
Because I don’t see value in Gabriel’s passing yards line, I prefer betting on him not to throw an interception. He’s only thrown three interceptions this year, with two of them coming in one game two weeks ago. This Under is playable at -140 or better.
Rob Paul also has faith in the Ducks and their run game in his Oregon vs. Purdue prediction.
Best odds: -139 via Caesars | Implied probability: 58.16%
