From that point forward, Daniels has stepped into a much bigger role as a receiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are Daniels&#8217; per-game averages before Maryland got hurt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2.1 targets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1.6 catches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20.0 yards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>40+ yards in 1\/7 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And here&#8217;s what Daniels has posted since Maryland&#8217;s injury:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>6.0 targets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4.0 catches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>72.4 yards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>40+ yards in 4\/5 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniels has big-play ability, which he flashed with an 81-yard score against Duke back in late October. But his notable uptick in target volume is particularly encouraging because it raises his game-to-game floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Go to full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/american_football\">college football betting markets<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that Daniels averages 16.7 yards per reception, he should only need two or three catches to cash this bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The senior receiver has four or more catches in three consecutive games, and I&#8217;m eager to tail a player who&#8217;s trending up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Daniels is coming off season-high totals for targets (eight) and catches (six). He has at least four targets in every game since Maryland&#8217;s injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-c1e817ca-a7f4-4be8-8332-7ac0c6f20f4b\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jeanty under 172.5 rushing yards (-118):<\/strong> I honestly hate to fade Jeanty, who&#8217;s had an exceptional season and will be named a Heisman Trophy finalist on Monday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is a <em>huge<\/em> number against the UNLV Rebels&#8217; strong run defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>10th in rush yards\/game (101.1)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>15th in yards yards\/attempt (3.2)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>28th in EPA\/rush (-0.07), per gameonpaper.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and UNLV &#8220;held&#8221; Jeanty to a season-low 128 yards on 33 carries back in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeanty&#8217;s 2,288 rush yards are the fifth-most all-time, and the most since Melvin Gordon (Wisconsin) in 2014. He&#8217;s averaging 190.7 yards\/game and can definitely hit this lofty over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he&#8217;s been under 172.5 rush yards in four of his past six games, and his worst output of the season came against the team he&#8217;ll see on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Blue anytime TD scorer (+155):<\/strong> Even if the Texas Longhorns struggle to run against the Georgia Bulldogs like they did during the regular season, this is a nice price to buy in on Blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The junior tailback has 10 TDs in 11 games this year, cashing this bet seven times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue didn&#8217;t log any carries against Georgia on Oct. 19, as Texas collectively rushed for just 29 yards on 27 attempts &#8230; but he had seven catches and a TD as a receiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Averaging 12.9 touches per game, Blue is a fair bet to find the end zone on the ground or through the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jordan James under 89.5 rushing yards (-110):<\/strong> James has had a lot of impressive performances for the Oregon Ducks this year, but he&#8217;s about to face his toughest test yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Penn State Nittany Lions&#8217; rush defence is unlike anything James has seen this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3rd in EPA\/rush (-0.18)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>T-7th in rush yards\/game (97.0)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>12th in yards\/rush (3.1)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>James has only faced one top-20 defence in terms of EPA\/rush, and he&#8217;s gone under this yardage prop in three of his past six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the Nittany Lions, they&#8217;ve only allowed two 90-yard rushers all season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 1:20 p.m. on 12\/06\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s conference championship week in college football, and I&#8217;m going big with four player props.
