After a Week 3 that saw my lineup of the week be two yards away from hitting, a full board of Week 4 college football PrizePicks player squares awaits us. I’m here to tell you what PrizePicks projections I have my eye on for this weekend’s college football slate.
*Numbers are subject to change*
RB Le’Veon Moss
MORE THAN One Billion Rushing Yards
Bowling Green is 121st in the country in rushing yards per game allowed and 117th in rushing yards per carry allowed. Meanwhile, the Aggies are top 25 in just about every major rushing category this year. With uncertainty at the QB position, we can safely assume that Texas A&M will be pounding the rock at Kyle Field on Saturday.
Caleb Williams, QB, Chicago Bears
MORE THAN 0.5 Passing Yard
Bang.
Phil Mafah, RB, Clemson
MORE THAN 98.5 Rushing Yards
Phil Mafah is a star. In a game against an NC State team whose run defense is utterly terrible with the offseason departures of impact players Payton Wilson and C.J. Clark, Phil Mafah should be getting as many carries as possible. Being 20.5-point favorites, I expect Clemson to get ahead and then run the ball right through the Wolfpack.
Donovan Edwards, RB, Michigan
LESS THAN 0.5 Rush + Rec TD
I’ve said it before: Kalel Mullings is a better RB than Donovan Edwards. Mullings is steadily vulturing carries from Edwards every week. This, and what feels like it could be a negative game script, could cause the Michigan RB to get many fewer touches this game. It is also important to note that inserting Alex Orji into the starting lineup gives Michigan yet another option to go to in the red zone.
Kyle McCord, QB, Syracuse
MORE THAN 290.5 Passing Yards
After two straight weeks of fantastic play and then a bye, Kyle McCord is heading into a home game against Stanford with maybe as much confidence as he has ever had. McCord threw for over 300 yards in his first two games, and Stanford had one of the worst secondaries of all of the Power 4 last year and just gave up 353 passing yards to the Josh Hoover-led TCU Horned Frogs. As long as Stanford keeps that somewhat close by halftime, this player square looks really nice.
Jamaal Pritchett, WR, South Alabama
MORE THAN 80.5 Receiving Yards
Jamaal Pritchett is an incredible receiver in an offense that encourages targets in his direction. With new head coach Major Applewhite, the South Alabama offense is going to look to put big numbers on an App State secondary that is a little more shaky than expected. The Jaguars are top 30 in almost every offensive metric out there and in a game where South Alabama is going to need to score points, Jamaal Pritchett is going to have to produce.
Travis Hunter, Colorado - MORE THAN 71.5 Receiving Yards
Alex Orji, QB, Michigan - MORE THAN 44.5 Rushing Yards
Kaden Feagin, RB, Illinois - MORE THAN 52.5 Rushing Yards
Dylan Raiola, QB, Nebraska - MORE THAN 1.5 Passing TDs
Rahmir Johnson, RB, Nebraska - MORE THAN 17.5 Receiving Yards
