Week 1 of the CFB season finishes on Monday, with the Boston College Eagles and Florida State Seminoles facing off. There is value all across the board with the CFB Player Props Draftkings Pick6. Let’s take a look at some Boston College vs Florida State Player Props.
Before we look at who should be in your Pick6 lineup, let’s go over a reminder about how the contest works.
The goal for participants is to make more correct picks than the other participants in each contest. Winning entries receive a share of the available prizes. In Pick6, participants can build lineups of between 2 and 6 players and compete against participants with the same lineup size. The more picks you include in a lineup, the higher a payout could be.
DJ Uiagalelei under 14.5 Rushing Yards
Are we sure that maybe DJ Uiagalelei just isn’t that good of quarterback? He is supposed to be a duel threat quarterback for Florida State but he just doesn’t want to. Last game he rushed six times for seven yards. He is fine running near the goalline, but out in the open he isn’t going to run. Uigalelei isn’t going to try and run much in this game, and he will finish under 14.5 yards. I expect he will finish right around five or six yards.
Malik Benson Over 53.5 Receiving Yards
Even though Uiagalelei might not be running the ball, I expect Florida State’s offense is going to be better at moving the ball. Malik Benson is the top wide receiver and Boston College has no one to slow him down. In the first game he caught four passes for 39 yards but he’s going to catch a couple of downfield passes here. Don’t be shocked when Benson finishes over 53.5 receiving yards.
Thomas Castellanos Over 57.5 Rushing yards
As much as Uiagalelei doesn’t want to rush the ball, the exact opposite can be said of Boston College quarterback Thomas Castellanos. Last season for the Eagles he rushed 194 times for 95y yards and 11 touchdowns. The Florida State defense is going to have no answer for him, and it will be Castellanos that finishes with at least 70 receiving yards.
Bonus Player Prop Bets
The following are bets that aren’t a part of the Draftkings Pick6 but still have value and should be bet on their own.
Thomas Castellanos First Touchdown Scorer +1300
There is too much value with Thomas Castellanos to score the first touchdown here. If Boston College scores the first touchdown, it’s going to be Castellanos who runs it in. The Eagles are going to try and establish his legs early, and the +1300 is way too much. Vegas has made a mistake giving out those type of odds.
Malik Benson 80+ Receiving Yards +245
Like stated above Malik Benson is going to have a huge game, and a couple of long catches is all he will need to go well over this number. When betting player props it’s always nice toget some plus money, and this is another value bet. Benson will finish with at least 80 receiving yards.
