Back in action for week nine of the college football season! It has been one heck of a year and though it is sad to see it flying by, I can not wait to share what I have this week with you all.

To recap week eight we saw some incredible highs and lows. BYU losing to UCF, the Vols succombing to the pressure against South Carolina, and Utah pulling off a thriller against Houston.

And there were so many other great games last week too.

This week I am looking forward to are #3 Georgia vs #17 Florida, Auburn vs #12 Ole Miss, and my #2 Ohio State Buckeyes vs USC.

Week Nine Player Props

John Mateer o1.5 Passing Touchdowns +136 on Lucky Rebel

I think this is a huge let down spot for South Carolina after two huge victories in a row. But it will not be a stroll in the park for the Sooners though, to win this game it will be on the shoulders of John Mateer.

Mateer came in to this season as a Heisman hopeful but after some shakey performances by him and Oklahoma as whole those hopes slipped. But as of late after their huge win against Texas, Mateer and the Sooners have seemed to turn a new leaf looking way better than before.

Facing off against the 112th ranked pass defense in the country this is a spot I really like for Mateer and Oklahoma to pull off the win against a hot South Carolina team.

Maddux Madsen o1.5 Passing Touchdown -130 on Lucky Rebel

Madsen gets to fave off against a team in Texas State where defense is optional and offense is guaranteed the Broncos will have to put up points to win this game.

Against the 109th most passing touchdowns in college football I expect Madsen to absolutely ball out. With two stud running backs behind as well the Boise offense should be humming this weekend aginst Texas State.

Madsen has hit this line in five out of seven games this year.

Lincoln Keinholz o34.5 Rushing Yards -115 on Lucky Rebel

Lincoln Keinholz leads the Cardinals at home against the Seminoles tonight - NCAA Football Expert Picks

A staple of mine this year when I have been betting player props. This Louisville offense does better when Keinholz gets to exposing offenses with his legs and this week is a great opportunity for him to do exactly that.

Allowing over 187 rushing yards a game, and a lot of those yards coming against athletic quarterbacks who use their legs this a prime matchup for Keinholz.

If this Louisville wants to win this game the recipe is simple. Run the ball and let Keinholz cook and you will get the victory.

Wayne Knight o79.5 Rushing Yards -120 on Lucky Rebel

The workhorse running back on maybe the most shocking team we have had so far this season.

He gets to face off against 101st ranked run defense in the country and without their starting Quarterback I think that they are going to rely heavily on this run game to keep their perfect season alive.

Knight has hit this line in four out of seven games so far this year.
