We split our college football prop bets for the second straight week. For the wins, Michigan held Michigan State’s offense to zero points, and Oregon’s Mar’Keise Irving rushed for 129 yards to his Over.
On the other hand, Oklahoma struggled to score against UCF, and Luther Burden narrowly missed his Over of 99.5 receiving yards in a lopsided win over South Carolina.
Here are our best game props and player props in Week 9.

CFB Week 9 Best Props
USC Over 39.5 vs Cal (-115)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Quarterback Caleb Williams and USC have had a rough go of it in recent weeks, losing two straight games to No. 14 Notre Dame and No. 13 Utah.
The expected No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft has struggled in both losses, and the Trojans will make the trip to face California in Week 9.
Even with the recent defeats, USC is still averaging 45.4 points per game (third-most in the nation).
Meanwhile, California is allowing 31.14 points per game, and two Pac-12 teams have scored 52-plus points on the Golden Bears in the last four weeks.
With California permitting 246 passing yards per game, this is one of our best CFB prop bets in Week 9 as Williams should have no issues airing it out.
UCLA: Over 39.5 (-115)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Teams are lighting up the scoreboard against Colorado, and No. 23 UCLA is the next team to face Deion Sanders’ squad.
The Buffaloes surrendered 46 points to Stanford two weeks ago and have given up at least 42 points in three of their last four games.
Colorado has allowed 35.86 points per game (seventh-most in the nation) this season and UCLA is producing a solid 31.3 points per game.
It remains to be seen who UCLA will start at quarterback after Ethan Garbers led the Bruins to a 42-7 victory over Stanford in Week 8.
Regardless of who starts under center for UCLA, the Bruins are poised to score 40-plus points for the second consecutive week.

CFB Week 9 Player Props
Tayvion Robinson: Under 42.5 Receiving Yards (-125)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
The Kentucky passing attack has been lifeless in recent weeks, and the pass catchers on the Wildcats have suffered as a result.
While Devin Leary has been struggling through the air, receiver Tayvion Robinson has just two receptions in three of his last four appearances.
- Complement your prop bets and read up on our CFB Week 9 Best Bets.
At the same time, Robinson has notched fewer than 26 receiving yards in four consecutive outings.
The Wildcats will host No. 21 Tennessee on Saturday, and the Volunteers are allowing only 201 passing yards per game.
With Robinson not being the leading receiver on Kentucky in over a month, his Under on receiving yards is an enticing wager in Week 9.
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint: Over 39.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Someone is going to have to step up for No. 1 Georgia with standout tight end Brock Bowers sidelined with an ankle injury.
The Bulldogs are coming off their bye week, so they had extra time to scheme ways to keep the passing game rolling against Florida.
While it will likely be a committee approach to replace Bowers, the receiving yards prop for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint seems a bit too low.
Rosemy-Jacksaint is second on Georgia in receiving yards with 333, and he has notched at least 42 receiving yards in four of his first six games this season.
The senior wideout is averaging 18.5 yards per reception, so he should only need two or three to hit the Over in his prop.

Even though the Gators are allowing only 187.6 passing yards per game, that shouldn’t prevent the Bulldogs from having success through the air.
