Five straight days of College Football Week 1 action get underway with a four-game FBS appetizer on Thursday night.
This also means that Action PRO's proprietary college football player prop projections, which are powered by the extremely talented folks at RotoGrinders, are up and running for tonight's slate (as well as the entire Week 1 schedule).

Thursday's top player prop edges come via the same game, Colorado vs. Georgia Tech (8 p.m. ET, ESPN), inspiring us not only to bet each of them outright, but also to package into a tight, three-leg +975 parlay pick.
Let's party.
+975 College Football Parlay Pick
*Odds as of Thursday afternoon
The first pick, and tonight's largest player prop edge, centers around Colorado wide receiver Danny Scudero.
Danny Scudero Under 49.5 (-115) Receiving Yards — bet365
Scudero is currently priced at over/under 49.5 receiving yards, a line that Action PRO projects is significantly higher than it should be.
Specifically, PRO projects Scudero at 22.58 yards, which translates to a 41% under edge.
Kam Perry Under 1.5 (+145) Receptions — bet365
The vig suggests Perry will ultimately finish with two or more catches tonight, though Action PRO's projection is still quite low at 0.95, providing a 34.6% under edge for bettors.
The plus money here not only provides a nice payout should the prop ultimately hit, but also help pump up the odds of the SGP.
Alberto Mendoza Under 8.5 (+110) Rush Attempts — bet365
Our third and final prop is once again playing an under, this time for Georgia Tech quarterback Alberto Mendoza.
Action PRO sets Mendoza's rushing attempts at 6.1, well below the current over/under of 8.5.
After factoring in the vig, the difference between these two results in a 27.2% edge.
+975 Parlay Pick
Parlaying each of these three legs forms a +750 SGP at bet365 — a parlay that can be pushed out to +975 using the 30% college football SGP boost.
