Why Bets on Rushing Props for Kansas State and Passing Props for Oklahoma State
There are many angles to consider at the college football betting sites with props for K-State for OK State, but the angle that is best to start with is to look at the defenses.
Consider the CFB team defense stats for both teams compared to the other 134 FBS schools:
- Kansas State Passing Yards Allowed Per Game: 214.3 YPG (76/134)
- Kansas State Rushing Yards Allowed Per Game: 83.3 YPG (16/134)
- Oklahoma State Passing Yards Allowed Per Game: 280.8 YPG (122/134)
- Oklahoma State Rushing Yards Allowed Per Game: 180.3 YPG (103/134)
Those stats show that Kansas State has an elite run defense and Oklahoma State has a struggling run and pass defense.
The choice to focus on the DJ Giddens rushing prop at Bovada instead of the Avery Johnson passing yards prop at legal sports betting sites is because OSU’s passing defense stats are inflated due to Arkansas’s Tylen Green throwing for 416 yards in their double overtime game.
Betting On De’Zhaun Stribling Receiving Yards Prop
De’Zhaun Stribling is the receiver at Oklahoma State to target at CFB sportsbooks because the betting sites have not yet adjusted to his standing as the Cowboys’ number one target.
Stribling currently has 125 more receiving yards than any other receiver this season on the roster, but still has his receiving yards prop set two yards behind Brennan Presley and only six yards more than Rashod Owens.
It’s also important to note that Oklahoma State has allowed eight pass catchers to accumulate more than 59.5 yards through four games. That means he may not even need to be the vocal point and still clear his prop betting line.
Betting on DJ Giddens Rushing Yards Prop
Outside of just Oklahoma State’s struggles to stop the run, there are a few other reasons to bet on DJ Giddens’ props versus the Cowboys:
- Giddens has cleared 97.5 rushing yards in six of his last eight games going back to last season.
- In their two games against Power Four teams, Oklahoma State has given up at least 149 yards to a single running back in each.
In wins since last season, Gidden has averaged 109.4 rushing yards per game. Kansas State is favored by five points versus Oklahoma State, which sets this game script up.
