Mike Farrell’s College Football Week 1 Player Prop Bets Odds, Picks & Predictions (2022)

I love prop bets, and each week I’m going to give you my five favorite player props from DraftKings, even if player props in college football are scarce.

Texas QB Quinn Ewers UNDER 238.5 yards passing against Louisiana-Monroe (-115)

The hype around Quinn Ewers is real, and Steve Sarkisian will want to showcase his gunslinger QB in a game against a ULM team that gave up more than 300 yards passing last season to Will Levis (Kentucky) and Max Johnson (LSU).

So why the UNDER? Malik Willis (Liberty) struggled badly against this up-and-down defense, while others like Grayson McCall (Coastal Carolina) and Chase Brice (App State) weren’t needed for monster numbers in blowout wins. So I’m hedging a bit here. With Sark wanting to keep backup Hudson Card happy with playing time or lose him to the transfer portal and Texas expected to rout ULM, I think Ewers falls just short of this number and is sitting comfortably on the sideline by the third quarter.
