Week 3 of the college football season is here, so let's dive into our top college football player props based on the best college football odds ahead of a full weekend of games.
We pushed some money around in Week 2, but ultimately ended up scratching out a profit after starting with a +240 payout on an anytime scorer touchdown bet for Kansas running back Daniel Hishaw Jr. Unfortunately, Texas running back CJ Baxter couldn't return the favor with a similar +240 payout during the Longhorns' upset victory over Alabama.
Entering Week 3, this player props column has netted 2.39 total units entering Week 3. I'm not sure how we will end up, but the goal remains the same. We hope to mold our process and have some extra action throughout the 2023 college football season.
Here are our best college football player props for Wee k 3 (odds via our best college football betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

College football player props for Thursday Week 3
Similar to the weeknight game in Week 2, we're going with a same-game parlay to get some action on Thursday's matchup. Our Phillip Wood likes the Tigers (2-0) to cover the 14.5-point spread for his best Navy vs. Memphis prediction.
I prefer betting on Memphis' starting running back Blake Watson, who has become a focal point of this offense during the tailback's first season with the team after transferring from Old Dominion. Watson has carried the ball 30 times while producing 126 yards and three scores. He's also added 62 yards on nine catches.
The best part is that Watson really hasn't received an extended run due to the Tigers crushing their first two opponents. He scored all three of his rushing touchdowns in the first half of the opener, becoming the first Memphis player to record three rushing touchdowns in a half since Darrell Henderson did it against UCF in 2018.
The Tigers only recorded four red-zone trips during a 37-3 win over Arkansas State. Only three of Watson's 20 carries occurred in the red zone, which led to him not finding paydirt in Week 2.
We like betting on Watson to take advantage of a weak Navy run defense that surrendered 191 yards and two scores to Notre Dame in Week 0. Oddsmakers are banking on Watson to produce a big day, too, listing his rushing prop above 80 yards across our best sports betting apps.
The better angle is on his anytime touchdown odds. FanDuel is offering an outlier -145 price, while bet365 has set the value at -188. Adding Memphis' ML to make this a same-game parlay was an easy decision, especially when SP+ gives the Tigers a 94% chance of victory.
