Our college football player props based on the best NCAAF odds get you ready for the first Saturday of bowl season.
Bowl season has arrived, and we hope to continue to cash player props this postseason. For those who don't follow me on X, where I posted a final regular-season update, my player props went 52-42 for +13.1 units through Championship Weekend.
But bowl season is a different game. There are opt-outs and transfer news to monitor each day. These rosters are in complete flux, and we also have to project which team will be more motivated in each of these bowl games. All those factors are considered when placing a bet, and then you have to hope it all plays out that way on the football field.
Let's say it won't be easy to stay hot in props betting this bowl season, but that's why we are selective about which wagers to ma ke. And make sure to check out Mike Spector's college football best bets for Saturday.
With the action set to get underway this Saturday, here are our best college football player props for this weekend (odds via our best college football betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

CFB player props for Saturday
If Hollywood were in charge of this script, Boise State running back George Holani would end his career with a memorable performance against UCLA in the LA Bowl on Saturday. But thing s don't always turn out like they do in the movies.
With quarterback Taylen Green in the transfer portal, the Broncos are expected to give true freshman CJ Tiller the start under center. The Bruins will likely load the box and force the three-star quarterback to beat them through the air. UCLA's defense ranked 43rd in the country in success rate against the run this year and was 11th in overall EPA per play.
Boise State wants to run the ball, and that's certainly no secret to anyone. The Broncos ran for 301 yards on 51 attempts in their victory over the UNLV Rebels during the Mountain West championship game. The problem is that star tailback Ashton Jeanty has started to come on down the stretch.
Jeanty has posted consecutive 100-yard performances entering this weekend, recording triple-digit rushing performances in five of his last eight outings. He's also more of the receiving threat, recording 39 catches for 552 yards on the year. Jeanty and Holani have had an even split in snaps and rushing attempts in recent weeks, but don't be surprised if the former is involved more if Boise State is trailing at some point.
Holani has only received more than 16 carries in a game twice this season, and we anticipate him having a more difficult time finding open lanes against this UCLA defensive front. With a projection just below 60 rushing yards, there is value in taking his current Under.
