Oregon vs USC Player Props: Best Bets for Saturday Night

- Undefeated USC hosts Oregon at the Coliseum in a Big Ten matchup with a 61.5 total
- Two of the most efficient quarterbacks in the country and a pair of backs who keep finding the end zone
- Read below for my three Oregon vs USC player props and the exact numbers I used
Oregon is 2-1, USC is 4-0, and they meet Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. bet365 has the Ducks at -3 with a total of 61.5, so nobody is expecting a defensive struggle.
USC has scored in all 16 quarters it has played this season. Dante Moore has nine touchdown passes and zero interceptions through Oregon’s three games. That gives this game several established starters to assess on the player-prop board.
I am skipping the spread and going straight to the player market. Here are my three favorite college football player props for this one.
Jordon Davison | Jayden Maiava | King Miller
Oregon vs USC Best Player Prop Bets
bet365 prices checked September 25. Worth comparing at other College Football betting apps before kickoff.
Pick #1: Jordon Davison Anytime Touchdown
- Jordon Davison anytime touchdown (-233 at bet365)
Davison has found the end zone in every game this season, with one rushing touchdown in each of the first two and two more in the third. His career rushing touchdown rate of 13.0% is the highest among active FBS players with at least 100 carries.
The catch is the price. At -233 you are laying a lot on a back whose rushing yards have bounced from 90 to 23 to 81, so the touchdown is doing all the work here. I like it at this number and would leave it alone if it gets any shorter.
Pick #2: Jayden Maiava Over 266.5 Passing Yards
- Jayden Maiava over 266.5 passing yards (-116 at bet365)
Maiava has 1,173 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and one interception through four games while completing 75.7% of his throws. His game log reads 286, 349, 261 and 277, so this number sits right in the middle of his range.
Three of those four games cleared 266.5, with the other finishing six yards short. Oregon can score in a hurry, so USC is unlikely to be sitting on a lead and running clock. New bettors can check the bet365 bonus code first.
Pick #3: King Miller 70+ Rushing Yards
- King Miller 70+ rushing yards (-116 at bet365)
This one is a milestone market rather than a standard over, and the difference matters. Miller needs 70 rushing yards to win the bet, and exactly 70 cashes. I prefer that clearly defined target to chasing a higher rushing total.
He has gone for 128 and 102 yards with a touchdown in each of his last two games, after 63 and 45 in the first two. He also has six games with 100-plus rushing yards and a score since the start of 2025, second among current Big Ten players.
Oregon vs USC Odds and Recent Form
Oregon put up 84 points and 740 yards on Portland State last week, but that was an FCS opponent and it says very little about what happens against a 4-0 USC team. A three-point spread offers a better reason to expect the starters to stay involved than that lopsided result does.
USC has played four games and Oregon three, so these are still small samples. I’m weighing those recent performances alongside the matchup and the current college football odds board.
