3 College Football Player Props for Saturday, October 26: Will Leonard Torch Navy?

The college football season is chugging along. At this point in the year, we typically understand who the top teams will be, and who will fight for a playoff spot.

While that is still true this year, with a 12-team playoff, anything can happen. Who predicted Indiana to be ranked higher than Alabama this year? That’s just one of several crazy scenarios that’s happening in the sport this season. 

As we prepare for another Saturday of collegiate action, we couldn’t help but take a good look at Underdog’s player prop board and assemble our favorite picks. There are a lot of great games with playoff implications this weekend, so there were many options to choose from. 

With that in mind, let’s dive into our top plays!

Riley Leonard OVER 193.5 Passing Yards

Riley Leonard has a tough test with Navy this weekend, as his No. 12 ranked Notre Dame takes on the No. 24 Midshipmen. However, we still like his odds of hitting the over on his passing yardage total for a few reasons. 

One, he’s on a roll lately, throwing for 200+ yards in back-to-back games. Two, Leonard and Notre Dame should need to be on their toes throughout this game, and there might be times when they are down and he needs to throw the ball more.

With Navy allowing more than 220 passing yards per game, look for Leonard to have a solid game against them and throw for over 194 yards.  

Dylan Raiola OVER 166.5 Passing Yards

Has the Dylan Raiola disrespect gone too far? We think so, which is why we’re also excited to take the over on his passing yardage prop.

Raiola was seen as mini-Mahomes at one point during the college football season, but those talks have faded with a few Nebraska losses. While we don’t think Nebraska has a prayer to win against Ohio State this weekend, Raiola can still light it up.

We wouldn’t be surprised if he threw for 200+ yards, which gives us confidence in him going over 166.5. 

Dillon Gabriel UNDER 289.5 Passing Yards

Oregon is the No.1 ranked team in the country, so it might seem odd to fade their quarterback this week. However, they’re taking on Illinois, a team with a strong secondary that allows just over 200 passing yards per game on the season.

Dillon Gabriel has made a case for the Heisman at times, but he could struggle against Illinois. Gabriel could still have a good game and Oregon could still win, but we’re taking the under on his passing yardage prop.
