Georgia Tech vs. Vanderbilt: Sometimes, you pay the juice for a sure thing, and Jamal Haynes to find the end zone feels like that. Georgia Tech’s offense revolves around QB Haynes King and RB Jamal Haynes. Here’s why Haynes is worth the bet: Haynes is a workhorse who led the Yellow Jackets with 152 carries and 808 rushing yards this season. When they run, it’s usually through him. Haynes isn’t just a runner—he’s a receiving threat, too. With 134 yards and two TDs through the air, he’s always in the mix. We’re also counting on positive regression: After a red-hot start to the season (8 TDs in 8 games), Haynes cooled off, finding the end zone just once in his last four. That makes him a great candidate for a bounce-back performance in the bowl game. Haynes ‘ scoring potential is worth the investment against a Vanderbilt defense that’s far from elite, even at -170. Expect the Yellow Jackets to ride him in the Birmingham Bowl.

Top Player Prop Bet: Jamal Haynes Anytime TD Scorer (-170)

Texas Tech vs. Arkansas: Tahj Brooks has been the heart and soul of Texas Tech’s offense this season, and there’s no reason to think that changes now. The star running back has been nothing short of dominant, piling up 1,505 rushing yards and an impressive 18 total touchdowns. With starting quarterback Behren Morton sidelined, the Red Raiders will likely lean heavily on Brooks to keep the offense moving. Brooks has been a touchdown machine lately, crossing the goal line seven times in the last two games. When the Red Raiders need points, they turn to him. With this likely being Brooks’ final college game, Texas Tech has every incentive to give their workhorse a fitting sendoff and cap his already stellar season in style. Finally, without their QB1, expect Texas Tech to simplify the game plan and run the offense through Brooks, who has been their most consistent playmaker all year.

Top Player Prop Bet: Tahj Brooks to Score 2+ Touchdowns +105

Syracuse vs. Washington State: Looking for a shootout? This game might just deliver. Two juicy props stand out here. They are high risk, but with two suspect defenses and offenses that can move the chains, betting Syracuse and WSU to score in all four quarters has legs in a back-and-forth game. These defenses are as reliable as a coin toss. Both teams feature enough firepower to light up the scoreboard with 30 points, making this a solid value play for those expecting fireworks. Load up on these if you’re banking on a high-scoring affair.

Top Game Prop Bet: Both teams to score in every quarter (+550) & Both teams to score 30+ points (+400)

Las Vegas Bowl | 10:30 p.m. ET | ESPN

USC vs. Texas A&M: Here’s the deal: Ja’Kobi Lane is primed for a breakout in USC’s bowl game. With some of the Trojans’ top guys opting out—including Zachariah Branch, Duce Robinson, and Kyron Hudson (ever heard of them?)—Lane is set to see an uptick in targets—and he’s already proven he can cash in. The sophomore caught nine touchdowns on just 36 catches this season. That’s efficiency. Texas A&M’s secondary has been leaky, surrendering 16 passing TDs in 2024. At +110, Lane finding the end zone is a sharp play with plenty of value.

Top Player Prop Bet: Ja’Kobi Lane Anytime TD Scorer (+110)
