Best NCAAF Week 8 Prop Bets: Georgia vs. Texas Headlines Saturday

• Georgia will battle Texas in Austin on Saturday 

• Alabama faces Tennessee in Knoxville 

• Miami looks to stay undefeated against Louisville 

Last week, we had four fantastic college football games, and many claimed the slate was the best of the regular season. However, this week’s slate could top what we witnessed last week between teams like Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, and USC. 

This week, the SEC takes centerstage as #1 Texas faces #5 Georgia, and #7 Alabama battles #11 Tennessee with a trip to the College Football Playoff on the line. 

In these big matchups, where anything can happen, we like trusting star players and attacking games through the prop markets. 

We believe a few players will shine on Saturday, and we’re placing these prop bets on bet365 Sportsbook. As a special offer, bet365 gives new users a $1,000 safety net bet or $200 in bonus bets.

Cam Ward Over 324.5 Passing Yards (-115) at bet365

The Miami Hurricanes are second in the ACC. They’re 6-0 overall and 2-0 in the conference, and a big reason for their success has been Cam Ward. 

Ward is one of the best quarterbacks in the country and could be a legitimate contender for the award. His defense has been the biggest reason Ward has thrown for so many yards this season. 

This may sound counterintuitive, but Miami’s defense has been horrendous. The Hurricanes have allowed 72 points in their past two games, which has made Ward step up his passing yards. 

Miami has been forced to score and can’t afford to run out the clock. This approach has resulted in Ward throwing for 437 and 343 yards in the past two weeks. 

His passing yards line is very high this week at 324.5 yards against Louisville. The Cardinals have been solid on defense this season, but they haven’t seen an aerial attack like Miami. 

We expect Louisville to succeed against Miami’s defense, which will, in turn, force Ward to throw. Therefore, even though his passing yards line is high at 324.5 yards, we’re still taking the over.

Ryan Williams 75+ Receiving Yards (+155) at bet365

The Alabama Crimson Tide are on the cusp of missing the College Football Playoff. Vanderbilt defeated the team, and this was one of the biggest upsets in college football history. 

Even though Alabama only has one loss on its record, it was so damaging that it missed the CFP if it got beat again. 

Alabama is a slight road favorite against Tennessee, and they’re the better team. However, the Crimson Tide have been so inconsistent that it’s hard to trust them on the road against a Top 25 team. 

Alabama’s star this season, besides Jalen Milroe, has been Ryan Williams. Williams is just 17 years old and is already starting to receive some Heisman attention. 

Williams' receiving line for 75 yards is +155, which is an excellent deal. Williams has surpassed this line in three of his past four games. Tennessee only allows 170.2 yards per game through the air, but look for the Tide to take deep shots to Williams early and get him over this line.

Trevor Etienne Over 72.5 Rushing Yards (-115) at bet365

Trevor Etienne has been solid this season for Georgia and is positioned for a big performance against the Texas Longhorns on Saturday. 

The Austin crowd will be intense, so Georgia’s best way of moving the ball early in the contest will be on the ground. 

Texas has been fantastic defending the pass, but they are susceptible to a solid rushing attack. Georgia has a stout offensive line that should get a push against Texas. 

The Longhorns have allowed 103.7 yards per game, and Etienne is explosive. The running back has four touchdowns in his past three games. 

If he doesn’t surpass this line, Georgia will have trouble being competitive in this contest.
