College Football Best Bets Week 9: Advice, picks, odds, player props
Clemson RB Will Shipley OVER 88.5 rushing yards (-115)
Shipley is in line for a big game on the ground against an exploitable Notre Dame rush defense. The sophomore running back is the focal point of Clemson’s offense and will likely garner a big workload with Clemson pegged as 3.5-point road favorites. A positive game script throughout the contest can lead to Shipley seeing 20-plus carries. Shipley’s eclipsed 88.5 rushing yards in all three games where he’s received 20 or more carries. Additionally, given DJ Uiagalelei’s inconsistencies as a passer, offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter could lean heavily on the Tigers’ rushing attack.
Florida State WR Johnny Wilson OVER 64.5 receiving yards (-115)
Wilson, Florida State’s leading receiver (603 yards), has a shot to put up a respectable receiving output Saturday night against Miami. He’s seen 55 targets this season, which is 18 more than the ‘Noles next most targeted receiver, Mycah Pittman. Wilson also sports a high 15.0 aDOT and is always a threat to pop off with an explosive play. Look for Wilson to have another solid performance against a susceptible Miami secondary.

Purdue WR Charlie Jones UNDER 91.5 receiving yards (-115)
Jones, the ex-Iowa Hawkeye, has been a revelation for the Boilermakers’ offense in a year where they needed to replace their top-three receiving options from a season ago. Jones enters Week 10 racking up the sixth-most receiving yards among WRs (840) and fourth-most TDs (9) but draws a tough matchup against a sound Iowa secondary that sports PFF’s top coverage grade (94.1). Jones could very well have another solid game against his former school, but a 91.5-yard total next to his prop is a bit too high of a number in his toughest matchup of the season to date.
Maryland RB Roman Hemby OVER 0.5 rushing TDs (+115)
Hemby’s scored seven TDs so far this season, most recently reaching paydirt three times in Maryland’s Week 8 win over Northwestern. While it’s unlikely he scores three TDs this week, Wisconsin’s run defense isn’t nearly as stout as seasons past, and starting QB Taulia Tagovailoa makes his return from injury. That should result in Maryland’s offense getting to the red zone a handful of times, giving Hemby the chance to punch one in on the ground. Hemby’s been one of the better backs in college football this season, entering Week 10 with a solid 84.2 run grade per PFF.
Arizona WR Jacob Cowing UNDER 79.5 receiving yards (-115)
Cowing may be in for a rough night against a Utah defense that’s solid on the backend. While a negative game script is likely going to force Arizona to throw at a high rate, baking in 79.5 receiving yards for Cowing is a solid assessment of his potential receiving output. That being said, there’s not much value in betting him to record OVER 79.5 receiving yards, with the value actually arising on his UNDER. Arizona’s offense isn’t expected to do much as 17.5-point underdogs, and a Utah defense sporting PFF’s 28th-best coverage grade (88.7) is capable of holding Cowing in check over four quarters.
