Our Week 9 college football predictions and player props for Shedeur Sanders anticipate a challenging evening ahead for the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback during primetime. The UCLA Bruins host the Buffaloes at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, and all our college football picks are based on the NCAAF odds from our best sports betting apps.

In Week 7, Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders showcased an impressive performance, throwing for 400 yards and five touchdowns during an overtime loss to the Stanford Cardinal. This game marked a season-high in touchdowns and the first time Sanders reached the 400-yard milestone since Week 1.

This week, Sanders faces a  strong UCLA defense that’s allowing just 214 passing yards per game. Can he ace the road test, or are his Unders the smart bet this week?

To accompany our college football Week 9 predictions and college football best bets, here are our best Shedeur Sanders college football player props and predictions for the Colorado vs. UCLA Week 9 matchup (odds via our best college football betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Shedeur Sanders Under 316.5 passing yards (-115 via bet365) ⭐⭐⭐

The Bruins haven’t allowed a single 300-yard passer this season. Back in Week 1, Coastal Carolina’s Grayson McCall threw for 271 yards, and that remains the most passing yards by a quarterback against the Bruins this season.

Over the last two weeks, the Bruins have allowed 266 and 268 passing yards from opposing quarterbacks, but it seems like it’s going to take something really special for someone to go Over 300 against them.

Sanders does have five 300-yard passing games this season, but he’s also thrown for less than 250 in two of his last four games. This may be the best pass defense Sanders has seen all season.

Even with his team likely playing from behind all game, we still find it hard to believe that he’s going to set a new season-best mark against the Bruins’ defense.

However, our Mike Spector believes Sanders will clear 300 with his Colorado vs. UCLA player props. Which side are you on?

Shedeur Sanders Under 1.5 passing touchdowns (+140 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐

This is a tricky play. Our other four best sports betting apps are only offering this total at 2.5. The best price for the Under is -175 at bet365. That’s a very steep price, especially when you consider that Sanders has four games with four or more touchdown passes this season.

Therefore, we recommend playing the Under at FanDuel. Even though you’re taking a risk, the value is so much better than betting Under 2.5 anywhere else. Against the two best Pac-12 defenses that Sanders has faced this season, he’s thrown just one touchdown pass. Those two defenses are just third and seventh in points allowed per game. The Bruins are first.

The Buffaloes could struggle to get on the board at all in this game. Even if they do score, Sanders could steal a passing touchdown from himself with his legs. No matter how you slice it, this is the most valuable passing touchdown prop available for this game.

Shedeur Sanders anytime touchdown (+440 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐

Sanders has three rushing touchdowns this season, including two in his last three games. While he didn’t manage to score a rushing touchdown against the Cardinal his last time out, he did record his second-most rushing yards on the season.

This is far from a sure thing, but the value offered at FanDuel is really good. Sanders has been looking to run more in the red zone in recent weeks, which bodes well for his chances of getting in again this week against a stingy defense.

Make sure you shop around. This prop is being offered for a price as low as +300 at some of our best sports betting sites. This is just a two-star play, so getting the best price is imperative.
