CFB Player Props – CFB Playoff Quarterfinal Picks
Here are our top college football player picks for the CFB playoff quarterfinals:
Gunnar Stockton More Than 12.5 Rushing Yards
My favorite play of the CFP Quarterfinals is Gunnar Stockton’s rushing yards. This is his first start of his career, and it’s coming after having three and a half weeks off, meaning Georgia and Kirby Smart have been able to create a game plan centered around Stockton (vs. him coming in for Beck).
Stockton is a very good athlete, and he has used his legs fairly often in his small sample size of appearances. He played a half vs. Florida State in last year’s bowl game and ran seven times, and in the 2H vs. Texas he ran six times. There will definitely be a lot more designed calls on the play sheet for him.
Stockton is a guy who ran for over 4,300 yards and 77 rushing TDs in his high school career. Obviously, sacks are negative yards in college, but I think Georgia will incorporate a lot of screens and quick throws, which should help eliminate that risk.
Georgia’s game plan will be to run the ball and result to the quick pass game. I cannot see them dropping back with Stockton and letting it fly down the field. Assuming he doesn’t get sacked 3+ times, I think he will end with 10-12 rushes, which should be plenty to get home here.

Xavier Guillory Higher Than 35.5 Receiving Yards
My next play is Xavier Guillory’s receiving yards. When Jordyn Tyson went down with a season-ending injury, ASU needed someone to step up. The problem is, in the Big 12 championship, Skattebo took over and they didn’t really ever have to throw in that game. This matchup should be a bit different.
The Texas defense has one focus, stopping Skattebo and forcing ASU to throw the ball. I think they have the personnel to really cause trouble in the run game for Arizona State. I also believe Texas will be able to score at ease on this ASU defense, which will also help them get away from the run game.
Guillory only had four targets in the team’s first game without Jordyn Tyson, but I think they’ll need a lot more from him in this game. Both Guillory and Stovall are good options without Tyson, but I like Guillory more. He has a similar build to Tyson and can hopefully be Leavitt’s guy in this one.
I think Texas will be up double digits throughout in this one, forcing ASU to throw a lot more than they had to in the Big 12 championship. He should finish with 6-8 targets putting him over 50 yards.
