Florida State vs. Louisville Pick

An Action PRO subscription unlocks a unique, untapped market: College football player props.

Our college football player prop projections cover nearly every FBS game across passing yards, rushing attempts, receptions, and more. Friday’s card offers a pair of quarterback props featuring lines way off PRO Projections.

In Florida State vs. Louisville, Florida State quarterback Ashton Daniels is one of the best bets on the board.

His passing yards line sits at 214.5, but PRO Projections predict a performance closer to 248.5.

Louisville’s pass defense has been vulnerable all season, allowing 289 passing yards per game, which ranks near the bottom of the country.

Take the over on Daniels' passing yards.

Washington State vs. Utah State Pick

Another projection edge pops up in Washington State vs. Utah State.

Even though Utah State is a consensus favorite of 5.5 points, PRO Projections lean to Washington State +5.5, with the game power-rated closer to Utah State -3.4.

That creates a solid B-grade value play on the Cougars to cover the spread.

Iowa vs. Washington Pick

In Iowa vs. Washington, a backtested system that's 17-6-1 this season recommends taking Washington to cover the first-half spread of -1.5.

The approach suggests fading certain ranked teams in first-half spots, when ticket volume spikes above the daily average.

Iowa, currently ranked No. 20, fits the fade profile well, especially in a tricky travel spot after consecutive big games against Michigan and Ohio State.

Wyoming vs. San Jose State Pick

For a super creative angle in Wyoming vs. San Jose State, we're back with another player prop.

Wyoming quarterback Tyler Hughes is a strong candidate to finish over his rushing yards, according to PRO-powered forecasts.

Hughes' rushing line is 30.5 yards, but projections push that number closer to 46, making the over an appealing play for a dual-threat quarterback.

Iowa State vs. BYU Pick

Finally, Iowa State vs. BYU is the best blend of signals on the board. PRO Report — which sorts by strongest edge — shows Iowa State +10.5 drawing support from respected bets, system trends, and top expert opinions.

It also fits a profitable road-dog, low-total setup that has performed well historically.
