Last week, Jalen Milroe and his Crimson Tide failed to get across the finish line for us. He did not come close to his rushing prop as the Tennessee front 7 really kept him under wraps. Once they started playing from behind late, the last thing that was going to happen was the Vols let him get loose. Nonetheless, we have another slate of College Football Underdog Fantasy to choose from and cash a slip. There are a few top 25 matchups to keep an eye on this week as we head into some of the most important games of the season. Below, we will go through the College Football Underdog Fantasy board and find some winners!
College Football Week 9- Underdog Fantasy Pick’em Plays
Jovantae Barnes Higher Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving Touchdowns
Oklahoma’s first year in the SEC has not gone as planned. When you do not have a serviceable quarterback to manage defenses, you can only expect it to go this way. Nonetheless, Oklahoma has a few games left to right the ship and they will need to lean on running back Jovantae Barnes to score some points.
#OU RB Jovantae Barnes continues to be an offensive leader.

The Sooners head to Mississippi to take on the Rebels. This is a game in which Oklahoma knows they will let up points. If they are not scoring, they will be lapped easily. Since their passing game is not there, look for Oklahoma to try and slow the tempo down and give Barnes a ton of opportunities to put the ball in the endzone.
RJ Harvey higher than 136.5 rushing + receiving yards
UCF has a massive game on their hands as they host undefeated and vulnerable BYU this weekend. The Knights are coming off a game in which they nearly defeated the best team in the Big 12 on the road. Now, they host another solid Big 12 team at home. BYU has dealt with a ton of great turnover luck and a very easy schedule. They nearly slipped up at home against a pretty week Oklahoma State team and they will have their hands full with a man named RJ Harvey.
The UCF running back can kill you in multiple ways, and his number will be called on all game. UCF knows they need to get the ball in the hands of their best player if they want to win this game. Look for Harvey to grab 20+ touches and easily sore beyond his rushing and receiving prop.
