While the Week 6 CFB slate does not feature the same kind of high-profile games as last week, there are still some fun games to consider for our college football prop picks. Vanderbilt vs. Alabama is a great SEC matchup, and we have Miami (FL) vs. Florida State as well as Texas vs. Florida.

Singleton Torches UCLA on the Ground
The Penn State Nittany Lions are coming off a tough loss at home to Oregon last week, but they have a great opportunity to bounce back against a reeling UCLA team this week. Part of that bounce-back comes on the ground for the Penn State RBs, and specifically Nicholas Singleton for this prop.
Both Kaytron Allen and Singleton should get going in this one, and even though Allen has been the better runner this season specifically, we like Singleton in this one due to the suppressed line on him. Singleton has yet to break out this season after a fantastic year last year, as evidenced by his yards per carry going from 6.4 last year to 3.8 this year.
Enter UCLA, one of the best matchups you can think of for running backs, and this is all about the matchup. UCLA has allowed 233 rushing yards per game, which is the worst of all Big 10 teams and bottom five of all teams in the country. Somehow, UCLA has not yet led in any single game this year, making it so Penn State can lean on the ground game. They average 180 rushing yards per game, but they should hit 200+ in this game, with, hopefully, 73 of them going to Singleton.
Endries Has Decent Day for Texas
This is a scary prop, but one that has a lot of value. This game is expected to be a defensive slugfest, and even rain is in the forecast as well. That said, the game situations have made it so this line has simply dropped too far, and we are not asking Jack Endries to break any records here.
Endries hit 50+ receiving yards in the first two games of the season for the Texas Longhorns, including a 30 yarder against Ohio State in Week 1 and a 36 yarder the following week against San Jose State. He has struggled since then, with only one catch for our yards in his last two games. That said, he was dealing with an injury and it as noted that he would have a limited role.
Now, a couple weeks removed from the injury in a game in which they will need him, the guess here is that Endries sees a closer workload to what he saw the first two weeks of the season, when he recorded 50+ yards in both of those games, and his prop is all the way down at 30.5 now.
Fade Michigan State QB Chiles on Saturday
Michigan State faces Nebraska this week, a Nebraska team that has the best passing defense in the entire country, only allowing 76 yards per game. This is a number that we saw him go over last game against USC, but that was an entirely different situation against a USC defense that cannot cover the pass, allowing 251 passing yards per game. Chiles even went under that number, throwing for 212 yards.
While we are asking Chiles to go under his season average of 218 passing yards per game, he has done so against very easy competition. Not only the USC game already referenced, but other games against Western Michigan, Boston College and Youngstown state do not quite compare against the best pass defense in the nation.
The last time we saw Nebraska was two weeks ago against Michigan, and they held Bryce Underwood to only 105 yards in that game. Take Chiles to go under this total with one of the college football betting boosts on FanDuel Sportsbook.
