Miami Miami computer picks

Carson Beck Over 235.5 passing yards (-114)

Projection: 238.37 yards

We're projecting Beck to finish just above his passing total against a defense that is a few tiers below his first two CFP opponents.

🔥 Bet Beck passing yards now

Mark Fletcher Under 96.5 rushing yards (-114)

Projection: 76.77 yards

The increased passing comes at the expense of Miami's star RB, who we're expecting to fall below his posted rushing yards line tonight.

🏈 Bet fletcher rushing yards now

Malachi Toney Over 60.5 receiving yards (-114)

Projection: 70.86 yards

The star freshman struggled mightily against A&M and OSU, but we're projecting him to break out in the CFP semifinal.

Alternate-total bet
70+ yards (+148) - This prop shows good value.

🔥 Bet toney receiving yards now

Keelan Marion Over 39.5 receiving yards

Projection: 47.64 yards

We're projecting the 'Canes WR2 to also finish above his yardage line, after finishing just below this number in the first two CFP matchups.

🔥 Bet marion receiving yards now

Mississippi Mississippi computer picks

Trinidad Chambliss Under 275.5 passing yards (-114)

Projection: 239.2 yards

This is the toughest defense Chambliss has faced in more than two months... and our projections expect his passing yards to fall well below his posted total.

🏈 Bet chambliss passing yards now

Kewan Lacy Over 77.5 rushing yards (-114)

Projection: 84.06 yards

The Rebels running back saw his rushing line drop by almost 10 yards from opening, which changes our projection from an Under to an Over.

🔥 Bet lacy rushing yards now

Harrison Wallace III Over 54.5 receiving yards (-114)

Projection: 62.34 yards

Wallace erupted for 156 yards against Georgia in the quarterfinals, and while we don't project a total that high, he should go beyond his yardage total tonight.

Alternate-total bet
60+ yards (+116) - This prop shows solid value.

🔥 Bet wallace receiving yards now

Deuce Alexander Over 28.5 receiving yards (-114)

Projection: 39.49 yards

Alexander was quiet last week, but had 181 yards in the two games prior — and we think he'll make a bigger impact in the semis.

Alternate-total bet
40+ yards (+154) - This price has decent value.

🔥 Bet alexander receiving yards now
