Photo Credit: Darby Winter/Ducks Digest

As we dive into rivalry week, we’re here to give you another round of props to hopefully make your weekend a little better than it already is after stuffing your face for Thanksgiving. Last week, we went 10-5 for +5.56 units, helping out our total record of 66-50 for +29.83 units since Week 6. Let’s hope we can keep it going and continue on this streak.

DraftKings Player Props For Week 13

Kaytron Allen First TD Scorer (+360)

Penn State will take on Michigan State at Ford Field Friday night. Drew Allar has had trouble getting anything done in the air, and Michigan State plays a complete bend, don’t break style of defense. Look for Kaytron Allen to punch one in whenever Penn State gets down into the red zone.

Troy Franklin First TD Scorer (+600)

Oregon State doesn’t have the cornerbacks that it has had in years past, and if there wasn’t a monsoon in Corvallis last weekend, Washington probably would have had tons more yards through the air. Much like Rome Odunze was able to score first last week for Washington, Troy Franklin should be the top target on the first scoring drive for the Ducks.

TreVeyon Henderson Anytime TD Scorer (-120)

I don’t have much faith in Kyle McCord to be able to score more than once against this Michigan defense. If we do see a couple of touchdowns from him, I wouldn’t be surprised for TreVeyon Henderson to catch one. I’m assuming he’ll be able to get a touchdown on the ground regardless.

Jack Plummer u236.5 Passing Yards (-115)

Louisville doesn’t trust Jack Plummer, and we saw that firsthand last weekend against Miami. In a rivalry game where turnovers will likely be the big difference-maker, expect the Cards to keep the ball on the ground as much as possible and try to win with their defense. Kentucky does get to the quarterback at a pretty good rate, so don’t expect Plummer to be too composed in the Governor’s Cup.

Ja’Lynn Polk o65.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

It’s going to be shootout time in the Apple Cup and everyone is going to be feasting. The weather looks pretty good, and Cameron Ward has been throwing for major yards and getting points on the scoreboard for Washington State, so both teams will need to put up points. Expect Washington to have plenty of yards to spread around between its weapons and Ja’Lynn Polk to hit his over.

Bucky Irving u91.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

We saw last week that if you’re going to beat Oregon State, you’re going to have to do it through the air. Bo Nix is ending his Heisman Trophy campaign as well so the Ducks will try to pad his stats if they can. I’m not expecting the rushing attack from Oregon to be crazy so Bucky Irving is an under here.

Ray Davis o77.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Just like with what we said about Jack Plummer applies to Kentucky this weekend. Expect Kentucky to run clock and get Ray Davis as many carries as possible. Devin Leary has been a bit of a bummer this year, and the Wildcats won’t be able to win trying to force the ball through the air.

Payton Thorne u27.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Not making this one too complicated. Payton Thorne busted off a big run against Georgia, but when he plays a team that gets to the quarterback frequently, he hasn’t been able to rush consistently. Athleticism and a strong defense from Alabama should lead to some sacks to drive the rushing yards down here if he is rushing the ball a good amount.

FanDuel Player Props For Week 13

Tyler Warren o23.5 Receiving Yards (-114); Maliq Carr o21.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

Both Drew Allar and Katin Houser haven’t been able to get the ball to their playmakers out wide at a consistent level. Look for the two quarterbacks to get the ball to their tight ends a couple of times in this game to lead to this over. Tyler Warren and Maliq Carr feel pretty safe.

Adonai Mitchell o51.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

Texas Tech allows a lot of big plays, and Adonai Mitchell is maybe the biggest big-play receiver in all of college football. Texas will look to move the ball through the air in this game as CJ Baxter settles into his starting running back role.

Damien Martinez o87.5 Rushing Yards (-114)

If the Beavers want to win the game, they’re going to have to run the clock and move the ball on the ground. Damien Martinez is probably the best workhorse back in all of college football, so even if he doesn’t bust any huge runs, there will be a ton of carries for him.

Malik Nabers o116.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

Malik Nabers needs 144 yards this weekend to set the all-time receiving record for LSU. Even though it’s been a down season for LSU with three losses, the Tigers are looking to break every record they can. Look for a big day from Jayden Daniels as Nabers will be a big part of that.
