We’re deep into the College Football season as Week 11 is already well underway after MACtion gave us some thrilling highlights midweek. If you haven’t been checking out the weekly MACtion article, our guy Messiah Burch came through in a big way Wednesday night for us. Let’s head into the CFB Prop Shop and find the best College Football player props for Week 11.
It’s an interesting week in College Football, as there are no top-10 battles or that “one game” that just gives all the vibes of being a massive game. We are, however, in for a good slate. Texas heads to USC; Tennessee at Texas A&M could be a spoiler game. Utah and Arizona are projected to be close, and USC at Indiana could get interesting!
Mark Bowman Over 30.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Speaking of that interesting USC at Indiana game. Not only do I have that one down in my CFB Upset Parlay this week going the way of the Trojans, but I think they’ll have success against this Hoosier defense. Bowman comes into play as a system play we’ve been targeting in this article week after week. Indiana has a weakness against the tight end that every team seems able to exploit.
Against Minnesota, it was Roman Voss who went for 39 yards. For Michigan, it was Hogan Hansen who hit for us at 34 yards. Nebraska’s Luke Lindenmeyer racked up 45 yards against the Hoosiers. Northwestern’s Luke Dehnicke tore this defense apart for 140 yards on seven catches. Bowman has had at least 30 receiving yards in five straight games coming into this one. Trust the system.
Jelani Thurman Over 50.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
One thing I’ve learned as a “content creator” or someone who gives out betting picks. Don’t be afraid to go back to the same system play as we did above; don’t be afraid to go back to the same player or team. If they keep cashing for you, that’s the best problem you could possibly have. “Oh no, I have to bet on this guy who keeps making me money.” Well, that guy for us, North Carolina tight end Jelani Thurman. Last week his number was set at 56.5. He went out and stacked up 64 yards. For whatever reason, they brought his number down this week to 50.5.
Spoiler alert: North Carolina is also in the above-mentioned upset parlay. Against Miami, Thurman’s number was set at 43.5 yards. He caught five passes for 70 yards against the above-mentioned Miami defense. He’s had at least 50 yards in seven of the Tar Heels’ nine matches this season. He’s quickly become a go-to receiver for Billy Edwards Jr.
Patrick Overmyer Over 44.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
It wasn’t planned this way, but I guess we’re going to call this tight end week in College Football. The Colorado Buffaloes have a weakness similar to Indiana, but theirs is just against big possession receivers. Last week Arizona State’s 6’5” 220lbs Reed Harris took care of business on just four catches, racking up 103 yards. For Kansas State, it was 6’3 Josh Manning who caught six passes for 73 yards.
Oklahoma State’s Justin Bowick, a 6‘5” receiver, caught five passes for 138 yards. Utah’s Braden Pagen, standing 6’3,”, gave the Buffs trouble with eight catches for 86 yards. Houston’s receiving core doesn’t have a big guy that stands out. But, the second leading receiver on the team, at 6’5” 240lbs, Patrick Overmyer stands out. But literally and figuratively. He’s hit the over on this number six times in 2026. Look for the UTSA Senior transfer to get his this weekend.
Michael Hawkins Jr. Over 99.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Let’s revisit an old darling from earlier in the year. We haven’t played Hawkins in a few weeks after hitting on him a few times earlier this season. The matchups weren’t as juicy as they are this week for the Mountaineers. Hawkins has 924 yards on the ground this year on 182 carries. Four times he’s broken the century mark, and this week will be number five.
Kansas allows 173.1 yards per game on the ground. Bad enough for a 94th-place rank in the country. Last week was the first time they’ve faced a true running threat in Kansas State’s Avery Johnson. Johnson, while not the threat that Hawkins is, made the Jayhawks pay. He ran for 132 yards on just 12 carries. There’s no doubt the Mountaineers will exploit what they saw the Wildcats do last week.
