Each week I share my favorite college player props as part of our DFS College Football series.
We'll find our edge with the RotoWire's Picks & Props tool. Multiple prediction factors help decide if we should lean "higher" or "lower" on all of the player props available across multiple DFS sites and sportsbooks. I use the tool as a starting point to highlight props that I might otherwise miss and to narrow down my options before doing a deeper dive into matchups and trends.
Below are some of the best picks you can make on Underdog this week.
QB Beau Pribula, Missouri 
Although Diego Pavia fell just short of this number last week against Alabama, I still like the reasoning that I laid out, and I'm sticking with the same conclusion this week in a similar spot.
Like Pavia, Pribula comes into the matchup averaging over 240 passing yards per game this season while leading a 5-0 SEC team. Like I suggested in my analysis of Pavia last week, I expect higher passing volume in games against Alabama, as teams try to keep up. In the three games in which Pribula had 28 or more pass attempts this season, he averaged 286 passing yards.
Unlike Pavia, Pribula will have both a rest advantage, as Missouri was on bye last week, and home field advantage.
One concern to consider is that Missouri does have a strong run game that may be able to exploit Alabama's middle-of-the-pack run defense. If the Tigers lean heavily on the run game, that could have us sweating this pick all game long. However, I'm going to look at the strong run game as a positive. Missouri can use the run to open up the passing game.
CFB Underdog Pick: Beau Pribula, HIGHER than 199.5 pass yards
QB Sam Leavitt, Arizona State 
Leavitt will face Utah and its top 20 passing defense that's allowing 159.6 passing yards per game. I think that number is deceiving, considering the competition Utah has faced so far. In Utah's toughest matchup, Texas Tech starter Behren Morton threw for 142 yards before an injury forced Will Hammond into relief, where the backup added 169 yards.
Leavitt has topped this number in nine of the past 10 games. Plus, reinforcements are coming! Jalen Moss, the Fresno State transfer who accumulated over 1,200 yards and 10 TDs in the two previous seasons, is expected to play for the first time since Week 1.
CFB Underdog Pick: Sam Leavitt, HIGHER than 182.5 pass yards
RB Ca'Lil Valentine, Illinois 
Last week, Valentine tallied a career high 22 carries and 95 rushing yards. But Kaden Feagin is still getting double-digit carries each game, and Aidan Laughery is probable to play after missing last week's game. What will the workload split look like?
With that uncertainty, along with no. 1 Ohio State coming to town, I'll lean to the under on the sophomore running back's total. The Buckeyes are allowing just 91.4 rushing yards per game, ranking them in the top 25 in the country. When Illinois faced an equally strong run defense (Indiana) three weeks ago, Feagan led the team with 18 rush yards, while Valentine finished with 11 and Laughery was out with an undisclosed injury.
CFB Underdog Pick: Ca'Lil Valentine LOWER than 44.5 rushing yards
WR Ryan Davis, Utah 
Utah has one of the more run-heavy offenses, running the ball on over 56% of plays so far this season. But when the Utes do throw the ball, those targets are mostly funneled to just two players: tight end Dallen Bentley and wider receiver Ryan Davis.
Over the past four games, Davis has seen 38 targets, resulting in 33 receptions for 326 yards. This is nothing new for Davis and QB Devon Dampier. Both players transferred to Utah from New Mexico and have had a strong connection at both schools. Davis saw more than nine targets per game over the last five games at New Mexico last season.
A matchup against Arizona State shouldn't scare you away from backing Utah's top receiver. The Sun Devils have allowed at least one 70-yard receiver in every game this season. In total, seven players have exceeded 70 yards in five games against ASU.
CFB Underdog Pick: Ryan Davis HIGHER than 67.5 receiving yards
