College Football Week 8 Anytime Touchdown Scorer Odds & Picks (2023)
Itâs pretty crazy that weâre entering the final five or six weeks of College Football before we get into bowl season and the College Football Playoff. That said, itâs time we put our best college football prop bets together and start cashing as many bet slips as possible. Looking at Week 8, there are many intriguing games to bet on.
For starters, Penn State-Ohio State should produce some scoring, but I believe that it will be a lower-scoring game than some expect. If I were to bet on anyone scoring in that game, Iâd go with Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. Other games worth looking into are Ole Miss/Auburn, Utah/USC and TCU/Kansas State.
That said, here are my top College Football anytime touchdown scorers for this weekend. And below is a closer look at GAME.

College Football Week 8 Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Baylor Bears @ Cincinnati Bearcats
Iâll be honest; I have no idea why I have an interest in this football game. While itâs two bad football teams, I think thereâs plenty to bet on in this game. For starters, Iâm intrigued with the total in this game. Currently, Vegas has the over/under at 49.5, and I wouldnât be surprised if the over hits in this game. Baylorâs defense is a shell of itself, as theyâve given up 181 total points so far this season (30.2 PPG). Meanwhile, they give up 389.8 total yards per game, and their 184.3 rushing yards allowed per game is one of the worst marks in the country.
Even though Baylor is coming off a bye week and could get right, I donât think theyâll be able to stop the run against a Cincinnati offense that averages 202.7 rushing yards per game. Much of their success comes from their running back Corey Kiner and quarterback Emory Jones. With that, the player I want to focus on is Jones. His decision-making might limit some drives in this game, as heâs thrown eight interceptions this season, but his ability to run should be enough to lead his team to victory.
In every game Baylor has played this year, theyâve allowed a rushing touchdown to a quarterback. Itâs pretty remarkable. With Jones being the best mobile quarterback theyâve faced so far this year, I expect him to find the end zone. He leads the Bearcats rushing attack with three rushing touchdowns this season, and he averages 14 carries per game. The game script and volume should lead to Jones getting touches near the end zone in this game. Take this plus money bet.
Bet: Cincinnati QB Emory Jones Over 0.5 Rushing Touchdowns (+135)
Michigan Wolverines @ Michigan State Spartans
Sure, this is a rivalry game, but I donât expect this game to be very close this year. Michigan State is just a bad football team still trying to figure out whoâs playing quarterback. Earlier this year, they gave Noah Kim a shot, and he just doesnât look the man for the job. This past week against Rutgers, the Spartans turned to Katin Houser. Donât get me wrong, the redshirt freshman operated the offense much more efficiently than Kim ever did this season, but itâs not enough for me to buy into the Spartans in this rivalry game, especially after only passing for 133 yards and giving up the game to Rutgers while having an 18-point lead.
Michigan is one of the best, if not the best team in the country. Their offense has been rolling through teams this year while averaging 413.7 yards per game on offense. Their 182 rushing yards per game is one of the better units in College Football, and itâs led by their running back, Blake Corum. Through seven games this year, Corum already has 12 rushing touchdowns, and Iâd expect him to have another big game against the Spartans.
In four of the Wolverinesâ seven games played, Corum has multiple rushing touchdowns scored. Itâs worth noting that Corum had 33 carries for 177 yards and a touchdown in this game last season. He could have had another rushing touchdown, but the Wolverines opted to pass from the two-yard line rather than run it in. Oddly enough, that pass was completed to Corum for a touchdown. Even though the Spartans have only given up five rushing touchdowns this season, I donât see them finding ways to slow Corum down.
Bet: Michigan RB Blake Corum Over 1.5 Rushing Touchdowns (+165)
