Prop bet #1: Bryson Washington Over 60.5 rushing yards

-114 at FanDuel

Bryson Washington has had a frustrating follow-up season to his breakout redshirt freshman campaign. A year ago, he was one of the most productive skill position players in the country, accumulating 1,245 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns for Jake Spavital’s offense.

His returns have been a bit muted in 2025, however, as he’s battled through injuries for 815 scrimmage yards and seven scores.

Much of that boils down to bad injury luck, however, and it appears we may finally have a healthier version of Washington to close the end of the regular season. He looked more like his old self in Week 12 against Utah, handling 14 carries for 97 yards.

That was the first time in September that he’s reached 70+ rushing yards in a game, and it was the most carries he’s seen in a game since then. We know he can handle a huge workload when healthy (i.e., 56 touches in a two-week span during non-conference play), so why not in Week 13?

The Baylor Bears face an Arizona Wildcats defense that struggles to stop the run (84th in EPA per rush, 109th in rushing success rate allowed). The Wildcats have allowed 195.8 rushing yards in their last five games, and Washington should be the primary beneficiary of this matchup.

  • Location: Arizona Stadium

Prop bet #2: Quintrevion Wisner Over 66.5 rushing yards 

-114 at FanDuel

Speaking of advantageous matchups for a running back, enter the Arkansas Razorbacks. They’re surrendering 181.2 rushing yards per game, which is music to the ears of a struggling Texas Longhorns rushing attack.

Arkansas checks in at 128th in EPA per rush and 133rd in rushing success rate allowed, repeatedly getting beaten on the ground. Texas hasn’t gotten much of anything going offensively, but running back Quentrevion Wisner has battled through injuries and still leads the team in touches (117).

Wisner carried the ball 18 times for 75 yards and a score two weeks ago against Vanderbilt, which is an accurate reflection of the kind of production he can bring to the table. He did fall back to Earth against Georgia last week (nine carries for 37 yards), but the Longhorns were forced to abandon the run in a strange game script.

Arkansas has allowed over 100 rushing yards to every FBS opponent this season, and Texas should be no exception in Week 13. With a struggling passing attack, the Longhorns should lean on Wisner to carry the load.

  • Matchup: Arkansas vs. Texas
  • Date/Time: Saturday, November 22 at 3:30 p.m. ET
  • Location: DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium
  • TV: ABC

Prop bet #3: Ethan Grunkemeyer Under 175.5 passing yards

-114 at FanDuel

The Nebraska Cornhuskers offer a fairly simple handicap on defense. They shut down opposing passing attacks (134.6 passing yards per game allowed), but are vulnerable on the ground (161.1 rushing yards per game allowed).

The Penn State Nittany Lions prefer to keep the ball on the ground anyway, and they won’t look to deviate from the typical game plan in a matchup that allows them to play to their style. Why not hit a team where it hurts, especially a defense ranked 124th in EPA per rush allowed and 116th in defensive line yards?

Redshirt freshman Ethan Grunkemeyer is averaging 146 passing yards in his four starts. The books have decided to set his line 30 yards higher in a run-funnel matchup, but I’m not buying it. Give me the Under.

  • Matchup: Nebraska vs. Penn State
  • Date/Time: Saturday, November 22 at 7:00 p.m. ET
  • Location: Beaver Stadium
  • TV: NBC

Prop bet #4: Elijah Brown Under 240.5 passing yards 

-114 at FanDuel

The Big Game returns as an ACC version when the California Golden Bears visit the Stanford Cardinal in Palo Alto. I have my eyes on Stanford quarterback Elijah Brown’s passing yardage prop, which appears a tick high at 240.5 yards.

California is a run-funnel defense, surrendering chunk yards on the ground (116th in EPA per rush, 114th in rushing success rate allowed) but possessing a stout secondary (17th in EPA per pass, 14th in rushing success rate allowed).

This should lead to increased rushing attempts for a Stanford team that has taken to the air lately to compensate for a dormant rushing attack.

The Cardinal have faced several pass-funnel defenses lately in SMU, Miami, and Pitt. That skews their overall numbers, but at heart, this is a team that wants to ground and pound, a la 40+ rush attempt against both Hawaii and Florida State.

This is a lot of yards for a young quarterback in a matchup that screams “run the ball”.

  • Matchup: California vs. Stanford
  • Date/Time: Saturday, November 22 at 7:30 p.m. ET
  • Location: Stanford Stadium
  • TV: ACCN

Prop bet #5: Raleek Brown Over 76.5 rushing yards

-114 at FanDuel

Raleek Brown has been one of the best running backs in the Big 12, forcing more missed tackles (43) than any back in the conference while ranking second in rushing yards (817). He’ll be needed in Week 13 against a Colorado Buffaloes defense that is mighty getable on the ground.

The Buffs allow a whopping 210.9 rushing yards per game and 5.0 yards per carry. Things have gone from bad to worse lately as they’ve been hit for 257.3 yards per game in their last four contests, and it’s hard to see things turning around any time soon for a 3-7 football team.

Brown hasn’t faced many easy matchups in recent weeks, but we’ve seen what he’s capable of doing against beatable defenses like Mississippi State (110 rushing yards), Texas State (144), Baylor (80), and TCU (134). Look for Raleek to cash in against the Buffs in Week 13.

  • Matchup: Arizona State vs. Colorado
  • Date/Time: Saturday, November 22 at 8:00 p.m. ET
  • Location: Folsom Field
  • TV: ESPN2
