I&#8217;ve got prop bets on Dart and Ole Miss receiver Cayden Lee in what should be a rout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Duke vs. Ole Miss prop picks for the Gator Bowl on Jan. 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Duke vs. Ole Miss prop picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Go to full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/american_football\/ncaaf\">college football betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:104918\">Embed: #104918<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Lee 60+ receiving yards (-120)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tre Harris, arguably the best receiver in the SEC this year, declared for the NFL draft and won&#8217;t suit up for the Rebels. That means Dart will have to air it out elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter Lee, who&#8217;s carved out a nice role in the Ole Miss offence over the latter half of the season. Keep in mind that Harris injured his hamstring in Week 7 and played only 16 snaps down the stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Harris&#8217; injury on Oct. 12, here&#8217;s what Lee has accomplished:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>7.0 targets\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5.2 catches\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>86.7 yards\/game<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Lee&#8217;s consistency has been commendable, too. He has five-plus targets in six straight games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jordan Watkins is probably the Rebels&#8217; WR1, but it&#8217;s close. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And given that Ole Miss&#8217; starting running back, Henry Parrish Jr., will miss the bowl game, there should be plenty of opportunities for Lee to get involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gator Bowl will be Dart&#8217;s final chance to add to his NFL draft tape as a Rebel, and I expect him to find success chucking the ball to Lee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Lee has 60-plus receiving yards in four of his past six games, while also finishing with exactly 59 yards once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dart over 29.5 rushing yards (-107):<\/strong> There&#8217;s always a fear that draft-worthy college prospects might get hurt in their bowl games. As such, you&#8217;d think Dart will be at least somewhat cautious when tucking and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as I said, this is his last chance to boost his draft stock as a Rebel. Escapability is paramount for modern NFL quarterbacks, and Dart can flash that skill set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dart rushed for 45-plus yards in four straight games to close out the regular season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He had a season-high 77 rush yards in the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On the year, Dart averaged 37.7 rush yards and cashed this bet in seven of 12 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Parrish sidelined, Dart is the Rebels&#8217; active leading rusher. And though I doubt his volume of carries will be high, this is a bar he can definitely clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Henry Belin IV 175+ passing yards (-127):<\/strong> Maalik Murphy transferred, which means Belin will make his second collegiate start on Thursday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can imagine, there are plenty of unknowns about how this will play out. The former three-star recruit has completed just 19 passes in three seasons at Duke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter at your own risk with this pick, but I think it makes sense on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>As a 17.5-point underdog, Duke will likely be in a position to throw all game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ole Miss ranks No. 1 in yards allowed per rush, so running the ball likely won&#8217;t be effective anyway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Duke&#8217;s top running back, Star Thomas, is in the transfer portal and will not play.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether or not he&#8217;s efficient, I see a path to this yardage milestone for Belin based on opportunity. And I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s relishing the chance to show Duke what he can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 10:40 a.m. ET 01\/02\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The No. 16 Ole Miss Rebels cap off their season as heavy favourites in the Gator Bowl against the Duke Blue Devils.
