Week 4 of the college football season features an action-packed slate with conference play beginning for a handful of teams. There are six games between ranked teams, headlined by Ohio State traveling to Notre Dame.
After three weeks, we have a better grasp of what certain teams are doing. But Vegas is also setting stricter lines, so it’s all about finding the value.
Here are our best game props and players props in Week 4.

CFB Week 4 Best Props
Liberty: Over 32.5 (-120)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
I’ve backed the Flames in the first three weeks of the season, and they continue to deliver. With quarterback Kaidon Salter lighting it up under center for Liberty, the Flames are averaging 40.7 points per game and just recorded 55 points on the road against Buffalo in Week 3.
Florida International, which Liberty will face in Week 4, is 3-1 and is giving up 22.6 points per game. That being said, the only notable team that FIU has faced is North Texas, and they allowed 39 points to them at home in Week 2.
This Flames team is rolling on the offensive side of the ball and are capable of scoring 40-plus points against a FIU squad that hasn’t faced a team like Liberty yet.
Given Liberty’s success on the scoreboard to begin the season, there is value in taking the Flames to score 33 or more points at -120 odds.
Oregon: Over 45.5 (-115)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Watching Colorado exceed expectations has been fun to watch to begin the season, but it will be 21-point underdogs versus a tough Oregon team on Saturday. The Over/Under is set at 70.5, and the Ducks are going to do plenty of the heavy lifting themselves against the Buffaloes at home.
Colorado will be without two-way star Travis Hunter, and the Buffaloes just surrendered 35 points to a Colorado State program that simply isn’t good. On the other side of the field, quarterback Bo Nix has been lights out for the Ducks, helping Oregon average 58 points per game (2nd most in the nation).
We have both narratives going for us in this game, as Oregon will run up the score at home against Colorado to prove just how good it is. Or, if the Buffaloes are going to pull off another upset or cover the spread, it won’t be because it’s a low-scoring affair.
Taking that into account, betting on Oregon to score 46-plus points is one of our best CFB prop bets of Week 4.

Malik Nabers: Over 87.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Malik Nabers put together a standout performance in Week 3 versus Mississippi State, catching 13 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns for LSU.
The aerial attack of the Tigers is dynamic with quarterback Jayden Daniels orchestrating it, averaging 344.3 passing yards per game this season (10th most in the nation).
While Arkansas is giving up only 201.7 passing yards per game, they are also allowing 7.28 yards per attempt through the air. This is by far the best offense that the Razorbacks have faced thus far.

Nabers can reach this total in five or six receptions, and he’s tallied at least five receptions in each of his first three games this season. On top of that, he’s hit this number in two of his first three outings.
Bo Nix: Over 2.5 Passing Touchdowns (-140)

Once again, the Ducks are projected to score plenty of points on Saturday, and this isn’t the same version of Nix who struggled under center at Auburn.
Through the first three weeks, Nix has completed 77.6 percent of his passes for 893 yards, eight touchdowns and zero interceptions.
The Buffaloes aren’t going to have Hunter in their secondary, and Nix has thrown for at least three touchdowns in two of his first three games this season.
Colorado’s defense has given up an average of four offensive touchdowns to begin the season, including four touchdowns to a below-average Colorado State team in Week 3.

The Ducks are going to want to put up plenty of points to make a statement against the Buffaloes, and Nix will want to improve his Heisman Trophy odds by tossing at least three touchdowns on Saturday.
