Each week I share my favorite player props as part of our DFS College Football series.
We've now reached four straight winning weeks, going 2-1 or 3-0 every week! As the season goes on, the prop lines get sharper, but we can still find an edge with the RotoWire's Picks & Props tool, which uses multiple prediction factors to help decide if we should lean "more" or "less" on all of the player props available across multiple DFS sites and sportsbooks.
I've identified some of the best picks you can make on Underdog this week.
QB John Mateer, Oklahoma 
Miami's Carson Beck and Mateer have pulled ahead as the Heisman favorites. Oklahoma is ranked 11th in the AP Top 25 Rankings, and while winning games is the top priority, don't you think the coaching staff will gameplan to get Mateer over 250 yards every game and keep him in the Heisman race?
Mateer has at least 270 passing yards in each game this season, including a showdown with Michigan in Week 2. Now the Sooners will face another ranked team, as Auburn comes to Norman. In Auburn's one tough matchup this season, the Tigers allowed Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson to throw for 419 yards and three touchdowns. I won't predict that Mateer matches that performance, but I will take the over even if the line moves as high as 264.5.
CFB Underdog Pick: John Mateer MORE than 253.5 pass yards
RB Quinton Jackson, Rice 
Nearly every week, the Picks & Props tool reveals a play that I would've never identified on my own. This week, we highlight Rice's starting running back, as the Owls will face Charlotte in the standalone Thursday night game on ESPN.
If you don't know much about Rice's offense, I understand. Let me get you up to speed. New Head Coach Scott Abell and Offensive Coordinator Vince Munch bring their run-heavy approach from FCS Davidson. Only Army and Navy run the ball more than the Owls. That might lead you to taking the over here, but the way Rice has been splitting carries is leading me the other way.
Jackson started the season with a 22-carry, 119-yard performance, but since then he had a combined 24 carries for 94 yards in two games. Fellow running back Daelan Alexander had 17 carries for 75 yards in those games, while quarterback Chase Jenkins had 35 carries for 157 yards. Charlotte has had a decent run defense so far, allowing 4.02 yards per carry. I'm going to trust the 49ers to hold Jackson to five yards per carry or less, which means our pick is safe as long as Jackson doesn't get more than 17 carries.
CFB Underdog Pick: Quinton Jackson LESS than 85.5 rushing yards
WR Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State 
QB Sam Leavitt has just 527 passing yards in three games. Nearly 60% of that production has gone to Tyson. It may seem crazy to count on a receiver to approach 100 yards in a low volume pass offense, but Leavitt to Tyson is the exception to the rule.
Tyson has registered at least 99 receiving yards in six of his past seven games dating back to last season. My main concern in this matchup is that Arizona State could find a lot of success in the run game and not have to go to the pass. But I'll bet that the stars will be out Saturday night on FOX, and we'll get another Baylor game shootout.
This line has already moved up 6 yards from Tuesday night to Wednesday afternoon. If it grows to 103.5 or higher, it becomes a stay away for me.
CFB Underdog Pick: Jordyn Tyson MORE than 98.5 receiving yards
