Give thanks and be prepared to handicap your heart out — there’s another beautiful full slate of college football player props to bet in Week 10.
Let’s take a closer look at South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers’ rushing prop, USC quarterback Jayden Maiava’s passing prop, and Arizona wide receiver Kris Hutson’s receiving prop.
Here are my three favorite college football picks for the late slate on Saturday, November 1.
Best college football player props for Week 10 late slate
| Player | Pick |  |
|---|---|---|
 LaNorris Sellers |
Over 30.5 rushing yards | -114 |
 Jayden Maiva |
Under 276.5 passing yards | -114 |
 Kris Hutson |
Over 55.5 receiving yards | -114 |
Prop bet #1: LaNorris Sellers Over 30.5 rushing yards
LaNorris Sellers is one of the best athletes in the country. He’s also one of the most electric players with the ball in his hands. NFL scouts think that he could be something special if he develops right.
We know all these things about Sellers, but the college football world hasn’t gotten the chance to truly witness him at the peak of his powers in 2025. Why not?
The offense line is the biggest drawback. The South Carolina Gamecocks simply have not been able to block a soul, ranking 129th in front seven havoc while allowing opposing defenses to live in the backfield. It’s difficult to generate a consistent — let alone coherent — offense when that’s the case.
The good news is that Week 10 brings a matchup against a getable Mississippi Rebels front that checks in at 118th in front seven havoc, 119th in stuff rate, and 130th in line yards. Perhaps this is the week that Sellers can make things happen with his legs, and he’s certainly not in as much trouble of negative yardage on the ground due to sacks or TFLs.
Mississippi is bad against the run overall, ranking 131st in EPA per rush allowed and 126th in rushing success rate. Sellers averaged 51.2 rushing yards per game in 2024, and his talent hasn’t gone anywhere, so I’m betting on his Over at a deflated number relative to his skill set and past production.

Prop bet #2: Jayden Maiva Under 276.5 passing yards
The Nebraska Cornhuskers have a relatively simple defense to handicap. They have a substandard defensive line, but a veteran secondary that covers well. Sounds like a run-funnel defense if I’ve ever heard of one.
That was the expectation heading into the season, and it’s become a reality through nine weeks of play. The Cornhuskers are limiting opponents to 127.5 passing yards per game on 5.0 yards per attempt, yet are surrendering 156.5 rushing yards per game on 4.7 yards per carry.
USC Trojans quarterback Jayden Maiava has been terrific, completing 68.1% of his passes while averaging 311.4 passing yards per game. It makes sense that his passing yardage prop is priced up at 276.5, but that’s based primarily on recent results and far less so on the matchup.
Nebraska ranks 19th in coverage grade but just 89th in rush defense grade (per PFF). The Cornhuskers also opt to slow the game down to a halt on offense, ranking 104th in plays per minute.
There are significant question marks about both volume and efficiency in a road matchup for a USC team that is 1-5 in Big Ten road games outside of California. That’s enough for me to sell high on a quality player.

Prop bet #3: Kris Hutson Over 55.5 receiving yards
Anytime I get a reasonable price to fade a porous Colorado Buffaloes defense, it’s worth a long look.
Things went from bad to worse as the Buffs were destroyed in Week 9 for 587 total yards on 7.7 against Utah’s backup quarterback in a game in which the Utes essentially knew that they could rest their starting quarterback and be at little risk for an upset.
That marks the third time in the last four games that Colorado opponents have averaged at least 6.0 yards per play. Robert Livingston’s defense now checks in at 110th in success rate. The secondary has been the main culprit, ranking 115th in EPA per play and 119th in success rate.
Noah Fifita should have a pleasant day at the office in a favorable matchup. The Arizona Wildcats prefer to keep the ball in the air (24th in pass rate) and lean on their veteran quarterback, which should be the case on Saturday against a bad secondary.
Receiver Kris Hutson has emerged as the go-to guy out wide, averaging 8.5 targets and 66.8 receiving yards in his last four games. He’s running more routes than any other Wildcat and stands to benefit against PFF’s 133rd-ranked coverage team.
