Carson Beck Passing Yards
Georgia is still a behemoth. Even after losing Ladd McConkey and Brock Bowers to the NFL, the former back-to-back National Champions are still a force to be reckoned with. However, their passing game efficiency has dipped significantly without those two weapons on the field. In fact, the Bulldogs PFF passing grade on non-play action plays has fallen all the way to 54.5, good for 113th in the nation. Most concerning, their EPA/play in this non-play action situations has dropped to 0.110, which sits 44th.
Additionally, Beck has tossed for more than his Week 5 college football player prop of 247.5 yards just once this season, against an overmatched Clemson side in Week 1. He’ll find an attacking Alabama’s stingy passing defense much tougher sledding.

— Touchdown Alabama (@TDAlabamaMag) September 25, 2024
After all, the Crimson Tide sit fifth in the nation in passing yards per game allowed at 115.7, and top the FBS in opponent yards per pass at 3.2. They’ve also allowed opponents to convert on just 16% of third downs and generated 38 quarterback hurries in just three games.
Without his top-two receiving threats from last year, Beck is in store for a rough night in Tuscaloosa. Bet on his under 247.5 passing yards prop with confidence.
- Pick: Carson Beck under 247.5 passing yards (-114)
Ja’Corey Brooks Receiving Yards
Senior receiver Ja’Corey Brooks is off to a hot start for Louisville, racking up 17 catches for 297 yards and two touchdowns this season. However, the Notre Dame defense is a different beast.
Top tier cover men Benjamin Morrison and Xavier Watts patrol the back end of Marcus Freeman’s defense. They’re a huge reason why the Fighting Irish have been an elite passing defense this season, sitting third in EPA per play and second in PFF’s coverage grade in the FBS.

Moreover, only two players have exceeded Brooks’ 71.5 receiving yardage prop against Notre Dame across their last 10 games. Only Northern Illinois running back Antario Brown has gone over that total against the Fighting Irish this season. Back Notre Dame’s defense to hold Louisville’s passing attack in check on Saturday. Bet Ja’Corey Brooks under 71.5 receiving yards as one of our best college football week 5 player props.
Pick: Ja’Corey Brooks under 71.5 receiving yards (-114)
