 Louisville vs Ole Miss Player Props

All odds taken Sept. 6 from DraftKings

Jerrion Ealy Can Fly

Everyone and their brother thinks we are going to see 100 points tonight which obviously makes bettors think about the quarterbacks and wide receivers. As we all know, passing leads to points. But one position we can’t forget about are the running backs. Namely, Jerrion Ealy of Ole Miss.

Ole Miss is not just going to line up and throw the ball every single time tonight. They will sling it around a lot but they will run it and when they do, Ealy is a threat to score from anywhere on the field. Last season he went over this total five times in nine games (once against Alabama) and was a carry or two away from doing it two other times.

Ealy has multiple paths to this number tonight as he could grind his way in an Ole Miss beatdown. If he carries the ball 15 times, he should get home. He also offers the home run path where he takes one for 60+ yards leaving little to do on his other carries. Either way, we should see him go for at least 84 yards on the ground tonight.

The Pick: Jerion Ealy Over 83.5 rushing yards (-115)

Malik Cunningham Will Show Out

I originally wanted to see a Malik Cunningham rushing number but unfortunately there was not one posted. We may have dodged a bullet though because after looking at his game logs, he’s feast or famine on the ground.

He could have 200 yards or 30. That isn’t great when the books would likely set the total around 50.

Instead, maybe we should think about taking his passing yards total over the number.

We expect Ole Miss to put points on the board tonight and that bodes well for Cunningham’s passing numbers. His passing yards prop is currently 271.5 yards which looks high at first glance, but is it?

Last season, Louisville gave up 34 or more points in four games. In three of those games Cunningham went over 272 passing yards. If we see another shootout tonight, Cunningham could easily go for 300+ passing yards tonight.

• The Pick: Malik Cunningham Over 271.5 passing yards
