John Mateer Rushing Yard Total
- Over 39.5 -113
- Under 39.5 -115
With the amount of rushing volume that Mateer has garnered through five games, college football sportsbooks have set somewhat of a low number for his rushing yard total. He’s crossed this mark twice this season, however, he is a main part of this rushing attack with 57 carries through five games.
That puts him at an 11.4 carries per game average. That alone is a good enough argument to back him going over 39.5 yards. It also helps that South Carolina sits in the bottom half of the conference in rush yards allowed at 147 per game.
