Best Bets for Week 3 of the College Football Season

College Football Player Props

•Marvin Mims Anytime TD (-150)

Nebraska is kicking off the post-Scott Frost Era by hosting the Oklahoma Sooners this weekend. I have a feeling that Marvin Mims, one of the top college football prospects, is in line for a monster game against the Cornhuskers.

Oklahoma scored 78 points in their first two games and Mims played a key role in their success through the air by recording 10 catches, 244 yards, and two touchdowns in that span.

The Cornhuskers are coming off of their disastrous 45-42 loss to Georgia Southern. They’ve allowed a receiving touchdown in each of their first three games and are averaging over 35 points per game given up on defense, meaning that a lot of scoring should take place Saturday.

The best player on the Sooner offense is Marvin Mims, and quarterback Dillon Gabriel has been among the most efficient signal-callers in the country so far in 2022. Place this bet with confidence.

•Jaren Hall Anytime TD (+210)

I explained earlier that Jaren Hall is the most glaring reason that BYU is a college football team I’m betting on heavily this weekend.

Hall doesn’t run as much as he could given how gifted of an athlete he is, but I expect head coach Kalani Sitake to pull out all the stops when his team travels to the Pacific Northwest Saturday.

BYU may not feature the talent across the board that Georgia does, but the Cougars have one of the best offensive lines in the country and a productive ground game led by Christopher Smith, proving there’s more than enough firepower to take down Oregon.

I brought up Georgia because the Ducks allowed four rushing touchdowns against the Bulldogs in week one, one of which came when quarterback Stetson Bennett scurried in from one yard out.

Hall is a better athlete than Bennett, so the stars align for an anytime touchdown, especially at such great odds.

•Kendall Milton 2+ TDs (+320)

Speaking of Georgia and Oregon, running back Kendall Milton went off for two touchdowns against the Ducks. He ran one in from 12 yards out and then housed an 18-yard touchdown through the air later on.

This marked the first time in his career that he accounted for two touchdowns in the same game. So why do I feel good about Milton doing it again in the third week of the season?

Georgia is slated to take on South Carolina, a team that has struggled to keep running backs from finding the end zone in 2022. In their first game against Georgia State, the Gamecocks allowed running back Darren Grainger to score twice.

Last week against the Arkansas Razorbacks, Raheim “Rocket” Sanders took over the game and ran like a man possessed. Sanders tallied 186 all-purpose yards and scored two touchdowns on the ground, marking the second week in a row that South Carolina allowed a running back to reach pay dirt twice.

Milton has already recorded multiple touchdowns in a game and South Carolina has yet to go without allowing multiple touchdowns to a running back in 2022. The +320 is begging to be hammered.
