College Football Player Props – Best Bets for Week 13 (Saturday, Nov. 23)

• Week 13 College Football Player Props are live
• I’m fading Notre Dame QB Riley Leonard and buying Texas Tech RB Taj Brooks
• Read below for the best Week 13 college football player props to bet

College football continues to deliver the goods as we enter Week 13, with sportsbooks offering numerous player props for Saturday’s slate.

While several interesting matchups are on tap for Week 13, the Army-Notre Dame and Texas Tech-Oklahoma State games present particularly intriguing prop betting opportunities.

The table below displays several of the college football player props available for Week 13. Under the table, you’ll find my two favorite picks.

College Football Week 13 Player Props

In the Week 13 college football player props, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty has the highest prop numbers on the board. The Heisman odds candidate is -3000 to score a TD, with his over/under for rushing yards set at 192.5

In other Week 13 CFB props, Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders has a notably high passing yards total at 330.5, while his top target, Travis Hunter, has a 95.5 receiving yards prop line.

Riley Leonard Passing Yards

One player I’m looking to fade in the Week 13 college football player props is Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard. The transfer is only averaging 178.9 passing yards per game this season, and now he faces one of the country’s toughest secondaries.

The Black Knights boast an elite defensive profile that directly challenges Leonard’s passing capabilities. Army boasts the country’s stingiest defense, allowing the fewest points of any team while ranking sixth in total defense. Their secondary has been particularly lockdown.

Army possesses a unique defensive scheme – a blitzing 3-4 system similar to an NFL Big Nickel approach. This allows for aggressive play while maintaining disciplined coverage. The most yards they’ve given up to any opposing QB this season is 282.

The game total being set at 45.5 indicates oddsmakers don’t expect much scoring. I forecast both teams will heavily rely on their run games, as neither elite secondary is allowing over six yards per attempt through the air.

With Leonard averaging a 64.7% completion rate this season, he’ll likely struggle to consistently move the ball through the air against this stingy defense. I’m on the Under for his 196.5 passing yards prop on FanDuel.

• Props Picks: Riley Leonard Under 196.5 Passing Yards (-115 at DK)

Tahj Brooks Rushing + Receiving Yards

The second CFB player prop I’m hammering for Week 13 is the rushing + receiving yards total for Texas Tech running back Tahj Brooks. Sites like DraftKings and FanDuel didn’t have TTU-OSU player props available at time of publish, but you can find this at Bet365.

Brooks is primed to crush his 157.5 total yards prop against the Cowboys on Saturday. The senior running back has been absolutely dominant in 2024, entering the game as the only power conference rusher to hit 100 yards in every single game he’s played this season.

Brooks is currently sixth in the FBS with 131.6 rushing yards per game and eighth overall with 1,184 total rushing yards – and he’s achieved this despite missing one full game. Now, he lands arguably his best matchup of the season.

Oklahoma State’s defense has been miserable this season, ranking near the bottom of college football in multiple key metrics. Most notably, they’ve given up the third-most yards to the RB position this season. Five different FBS teams have run for 200+ yards on the Cowboys.

When you consider Brooks’ remarkable consistency — averaging 24.8 attempts for 135.8 yards — plus the fact he hauled in four receptions for 51 yards last game, his receiving + rushing props of 157.5 presents excellent value.

• Props Picks: Tajh Brooks Over 157.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards (-115 at Bet365)
