The first Saturday of bowl season snapped a four-game winning streak for this column, as we went 1-2 for a loss of 1.37 units.
There are no excuses for last weekend. I just made two bad reads and one great read. Such is life when betting on bowl games, which is why you will notice the volume has been down. The latest tally on my weekly column this season: 53-44 for plus-11.73 units.
With one weekend left before our focus turns to the College Football Playoff, let's try to post a strong showing for Saturday's card.
Here are our best college football player props for Saturday (odds via our best colleg e football betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

College football player props for Saturday
As our C Jackson Cowart explained in his Utah vs. Northwestern prediction, there are a lot of factors pointing in favor of the Wildcats as 6.5-point underdogs. Utah has been ravaged by injuries, transfers, and opt-outs. Northwestern, meanwhile, remains mostly intact ahead of the team's first bowl game since 2020.
Motivation aside, I'm looking for an opportunity to bet on Northwestern senior running back Cam Porter in this game. He's really hit his stride for the Wildcats down the stretch, recording 16-plus carries in three straight games and averaging nearly 80 yards per game over that span. As such, his rushing prop (61.5 yards) via our best sports betting apps is certainly worth a look.
But the Utes are normally superior in the trenches, so I'm not eager to go up against that front. Instead, there is value in taking Porter to remain involved in the passing game, especially since we project him to record double-digit receiving yards. bet365 has this same prop listed at 7.5 yards, for comparison.
Porter has averaged only 8.6 receiving yards per game this season, but he has cleared this mark six different times. He has caught multiple passes on eight different occasions, including each of his last two outings. He even started the season with four receptions for 26 yards against Rutgers.
Porter can clear this ma rk on a single catch, but look for Northwestern to find ways to get him the rock in Las Vegas. If the Wildcats are forced to play from behind, that could be even better for this prop.
Cam Porter player prop made Thursday at 6:45 p.m. ET.
