#19 Miami vs Florida Must Bet Player Props
Must Bet Player Props: Graham Mertz (FLA) Over 237.5 Passing Yards (-112) BetOnline
Graham Mertz is back at the helm of the Florida Gators offense, and hosting Miami will be no easy task. The Hurricanes have a very solid defense, but after losing both safeties, they are lacking depth in the secondary. The Gators lost Trevor Etienne to Georgia in the transfer portal, who contributed just under 50% of the team’s rushing yards last year, which should translate to Mertz letting it fly.
Now, he is a very conservative QB, and only cleared this line in 7/11 games last season, but I think going forward Mertz will have more of a green light to air it out. Last season, he threw just 3 interceptions in 11 games, and has yet to throw an interception in the Swamp as a Gator. Mertz started off the year last season posting 333 yards in a loss to Utah, putting up 300 yards against against South Carolina and LSU. If he throws the ball at least 24 times, he is going to go over this number, and with the loss at RB, I see the Gators letting Mertz show his stuff at home.

Fresno State vs #9 Michigan Must Bet Player Props
Must Bet Player Props: Mikey Keene (Fresno) Over 225.5 Passing Yards (-115) BetOnline
This might be my favorite prop on the board this weekend as Keene and the Bulldogs roll into the Big House to take on Michigan. Fresno returns tons of starters on both sides of the ball, and this offense started off 7-1 last season under Keene. If they are playing from behind, he will certainly be airing it out as he did early last year, giving him tons of opportunities to go over this number.

#23 USC vs #13 LSU Must Bet Player Props
Must Bet Player Props: Jo’Quavious “Woody” Marks (USC) Over 59.5 Rushing Yards (-114) BetOnline
Woody Marks is a Mississippi State transfer who will be getting nearly every carry for the Trojans. He is going up against an LSU Tigers defense that allowed 160 yards on the ground last year, without seeing much offseason improvement. Last year, Marks had 75 yards on just 8 touches against the Tigers, plus we are getting a number 6-10 yards below the rest of the market.
I’ve also got a play on the total, so read more on this game below!
