Arkansas vs. Alabama
Last week, we finally saw Jalen Milroe's other half of his dual-threat abilities, as he was forced to stay in the pocket and make downfield throws against Texas A&M.
Milroe responded with his best passing performance of the season, throwing for 321 yards and three touchdowns in a statement victory.
However, Milroe's passing volume was much higher than usual in that one. On the season, Alabama's thrown the ball at a bottom-20 rate. We should expect some regression in his attempts moving forward.
Looking toward this week's matchup, the Crimson Tide are three-score favorites against Arkansas. They will likely be ahead for most of this matchup, meaning they're more likely to keep the ball on the ground, significantly reducing Milroe's opportunities.
So, Milroe probably stays under his passing yards total here.
For what it's worth, Milroe has thrown for less than 235 passing yards in 60% of his games this year, and he didn't eclipse that total once last year.
Pick: Milroe Less Than 235.5 Passing Yards
Texas A&M vs. Tennessee
Jabari Small has been a big part of the Vols' rushing success this year. He and Jaylen Wright have combined to average 6.5 yards per carry, spearheading the nation's fifth-best rushing offense by YPC.
The backfield faces a stiff test this weekend against Texas A&M, as the Aggies are stout against the run.
However, when it comes to hitting his rushing yards total, Small has proven he's nearly matchup-proof. He's eclipsed 36 rushing yards in 80% of his games this year after hitting it in 69% of games last season.
The Volunteers have a small edge in the trenches, outranking the Aggies seventh to ninth nationally in Line Yards. The Vols should get a decent push at the point of attack, and Small won't need many opportunities to hit 37 rushing yards again.
Pick: Jabari Small More Than 36.5 Rushing Yards
USC vs. Notre Dame
Tahj Washington is the Trojans' leading receiver. Yet, he's done it with almost no volume.
Washington is averaging an astounding 21.7 yards per reception, meaning he can cash receiving props with only a handful of catches.
USC will always throw the ball, dialing up pass at the nation's 21st-highest rate. Despite the Fighting Irish's solid secondary, they have yet to face a quarterback and receiving corps duo as talented as Caleb Williams and Co.
Washington has exceeded this number in 80% of games played this season and in 58% of games played last season.
He checks all the boxes you look for when playing his number. He's the team's No. 1 receiver, has proven big-play ability, and has a long track record of going over the market total.
Pick: Washington More Than 56.5 Receiving Yards
