CFB Player Props – Week 7 Saturday Picks
Below, Props.com analyst Kyle Krogstad breaks down his top CFB player props for Week 7.
Kaleb Johnson More Than 102.5 Rushing Yards
Iowa will host Washington, who is coming off a huge win against Michigan. Johnson enters this game #2 in the nation in rushing yards, behind Ashton Jeanty. He’s averaging just over 19 carries per game for 154 rushing yards.
The Huskies run defense was extremely solid early in the year, but the past two games have been subpar as Rutgers RB Kyle Monangai rushed for 132 rushing yards, averaging over 5 yards per carry. Then last week, the Michigan backs ran for a combined 144 yards on 28 carries, again averaging over 5 yards per carry.
Everyone knows what this Hawkeyes offense want to do. They were down 28-0 last week and still running the football, and they rank 23rd in the country in run play percentage at almost 61% of the time.
In a game with a tight spread, this game should be very close. If that’s the case, I expect Johnson to get 20+ carries and finish well over 100 rushing yards on Saturday.

Ryan Williams More Than 28.5 Yards Longest Reception
Ryan Williams, the 17-year-old prodigy. He’s 5 for 5 on this line this year, with catches of 43, 47, 58, 75, and 83 yards. He averages 28.6 yards per catch, and is the definition of a deep threat.
South Carolina’s defense is the perfect matchup for Williams. The Gamecocks have allowed eight different receivers to have a catch of 29 yards or longer. They have also been very good at stopping the run, as they rank 30th in the country, allowing just over 100 rushing yards per game.
Bama needs to bounce back after the major upset last week, and I’m expecting them to keep the foot on the gas right out of the gate. Jalen Milroe will absolutely take his shots in this game, and Williams should be a prime target.

Avery Johnson More Than 20.5 Yards Longest Rush
We have a Big-12 matchup as #18 Kansas State heads to Colorado to take on Deion Sanders and the Buffs. Again, we’re looking to Johnson’s rushing ability to get us home here.
He has cashed this number for us in five of his six games this season, so we have to go back to the well for a few reasons.
Entering Week 7, the number is at 20.5 again. Johnson can break out for a massive gain at any time of any game, and with the way K-State has been designing QB runs and options, this continues to be an appealing projection.
Colorado has given up an average of 156 rushing yards per game in the first five games of the season, which bodes well for this K-State offense, who is averaging 38 rushing attempts per game so far.

Quinshon Judkins More Than 16.5 Yards Longest Rush
Judkins has cashed this number in 4 of 5 games, and now he’s in a matchup where he should get 4th quarter carries. He has had minimal work in the 4th quarter this season due to Ohio State blowing every team out.
Now they travel to Oregon to take on the #3 ranked Ducks. Oregon ranks 33rd in the country defending the run, but they’ve played a pretty light schedule. They had the task of stopping Ashton Jeanty, who ran for almost 200 yards on them with multiple runs of 17+ yards. Oregon has also allowed three other RBs (not including Jeanty) to have a carry of 17+ yards.
Ohio State ranked 10th in the country in rushing, averaging 222 rushing yards per game. Although they haven’t had the toughest schedule, they’re O-line is very good. I think that could make the difference Saturday night.
In what could be the game of the year so far, this will be extremely close and high scoring. Both offenses are on a different level, and I think Ohio State could have a serious edge in the run game.

Garrett Nussmeier More Than 295.5 Passing Yards
Nussmeier comes into this matchup cashing this number in 4 of 5 game so far (only miss coming at 285). He’s averaging 330 passing yards, and should have no problem surpassing this number.
LSU ranks 11th in the country in pass attempts, at 41 per game. They rank 12th in the country in pass play percentage (60%) and 5th in the country at passing yards per game (343). They are an elite passing offense and have stud WRs and TEs all around Nussmeier.
This Ole Miss defense is pretty solid on paper, however, they have yet to face an offense anywhere near this caliber. I think Brock Vandagriff might have been the best QB they’ve played this year and he diced them up, throwing for 243 passing yards.
In a game with a close spread and a total of 61.5, I’m expecting a shootout. Nussmeier has potential to finish close to 400 yards in this one and should lead his team to a huge win at home.
