Jahmyr Gibbs over 105.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards (-110) (Bet $110 to win $100)
Jahmyr Gibbs is showing the world that he very well might be the most explosive back in this upcoming draft class right now. The toughest part about this was finding which market to bet with him. PrizePicks is currently offering Rushing + Receiving, which I think is the best of both worlds, although I do really like the over 81.5 rushing yards currently on DraftKings. While it's unclear if Alabama starting quarterback Bryce Young will make the start, it's pretty clear that Gibbs will be a big part of the game plan either way. With an SEC-leading 8.3 YPC and an elite offensive line, I’m expecting a big game from Gibbs.
While Gibbs started the season with a very low-volume role, he’s absolutely exploded over the last couple of weeks. He went 21-154 against a tough Texas A&M defense, adding an additional 3-13 through the air. The week before, he went 18-206-2 against Arkansas, going 2-20 in the receiving game. While he only recorded 21 carries over his first three games, he had two games with over 60 receiving yards in that span. His combination of burst and vision is rare, and his ability to be involved despite the game script is ideal. Tennessee definitely has a good rush defense, they have only faced 1 running back with 15+ carries, and Israel Abanikanda went 25-154-1, with an additional 20 receiving yards.

Caleb Williams over 25.5 Rushing Yards (-110) (Bet $110 to win $100)
This line is currently available on DraftKings and PrizePicks, with some other books sitting between 28-32. This is a prop that I’ve been intensely staring at all week, and I’m ready to pull the trigger. Honestly, both of these quarterbacks' rushing numbers are really tempting me, but considering USC leads the nation in sacks, I’m going to hold off on there. Caleb Williams will be running behind a much improved offensive line, who currently leads the PAC-12 with a 77.8 run-blocking grade via PFF. Utah is definitely the best defense that USC has faced this season, but this number is just too low. Williams started the season with two blowouts against Fresno State and Stanford but has since cashed this bet in 3 straight games. Williams will be running next to Travis Dye, who has recorded 100+ rushing yards in 4 of 5 games this season. I’m expecting a very competitive high-scoring game, Williams should be able to clear this number in the first half.
