We’re looking at three total betting picks on college football prop betting sites, including gameline and player prop picks from each game.
Memphis Gets Going Early
Memphis First Half Team Total
- Over 16.5 -120
- Under 16.5 -110
We’re backing Memphis to storm over their 16.5-point total in the first half against Rice. Memphis is one of the best offenses in the AAC as well as the country, putting up 37.6 ppg.
It’s the same story when it comes to their production in the first half as well as they rank top-20 nationwide, averaging 18.3 ppg through the first two quarters. Over their last four games, which have all been conference games, they are 3-1 in going over 16.5 points in the first half. They’ve also scored 2+ touchdowns in all four games.
On the other end, the Rice defense allows an abundance of points in the first half. Overall, they’re allowing 16 ppg in the first half this season. However, in their last three, it's been an absolute collapse, allowing 25.3 ppg through the opening half. In each of their last five games, all five opponents have managed at least 2+ touchdowns.
- Pick: Memphis Over 16.5 1H Team Total
Benjamin Hall Runs Loose Over Syracuse
Benjamin Hall Total Rushing Yards
- Over 43.5 -114
- Under 43.5 -114
The North Carolina run game should take over in this one against a weak Syracuse defense that allows the second most rush yards in the ACC (162.5 rush yards allowed).
That said, Benjamin Hall should continue on his momentum run in this one. Over Hall’s last two games, he’s seen 14 and 11 attempts for 68 and 50 yards, respectively. He has pushed out true freshman RB Demon June to five of less carries in two of their last three outings.
On the Syracuse side, over their eight games this season, they’ve seen 11 total players rush for over 43.5 yards against them.
- Pick: Benjamin Hall Over 43.5 Rushing Yards
LA Tech Runs It Up On Sam Houston
Sam Houston Vs. Louisiana Tech Alternate Spread
- Louisiana Tech -19 +115
- Sam Houston +19 -150
We’re taking plus money odds on college football sportsbooks here for Louisiana Tech to win beyond the spread on their alternate line against arguably the worst team in college football, Sam Houston.
Louisiana Tech should absolutely run through Sam Houston as they are a top-5 scoring offense (24.9 ppg) in the conference, while Sam Houston averages the least amount of points per game (17 ppg). On defense, it's best vs. worst here with Louisiana Tech (18.7 ppg allowed) has a massive -20.2 ppg allowed advantage on Sam Houston (38.9 ppg allowed).
Making matters even worse for Sam Houston, over their 0-7 season thus far, six of those losses have come by 17+ points. On the other end, Louisiana Tech has won three of their four games this season by 19+ points.
- Pick: Louisiana Tech Alternate Spread -19 +115
