Bet on Woody Marks Over 94.5 Rushing Yards

Woody Marks has been one of the most consistent running backs in all of college football this season. He currently has the 18th most rushing yards in Division One college football.

His production has been remarkably consistent this season.

Woody Marks Rushing Yards by Opponent This Season

Nebraska (11/16): 19 Carries/146 Yards
Washington (11/2): 22 Carries/123 Yards
Rutgers (10/25): 15 Carries/94 Yards
Maryland (10/19): 17 Carries/82 Yards
Penn State (10/12): 20 Carries/111 Yards
Minnesota (10/5): 20 Carries/134 Yards
Wisconsin (9/28): 19 Carries/63 Yards
Michigan (9/21): 13 Carries/100 Yards
Utah State (9/7): 13 Carries/103 Yards
LSU (9/1): 16 Carries/68 Yards

Given that Marks has six games with over 100 rushing yards this season, it is a surprise that legal online sports betting sites like Bovada have set his prop line at 94.5 yards.

That’s especially true when considering that Marks has received more carries in the last few weeks than he did at the start of the season.

In his first three games of the season for the Trojans after transferring from Mississippi State, Jo’Quavious Marks never had more than 16 carries. In the seven games since then, Marks has less than 17 carries only once.

It is very possible that Southern Cal’s coaching staff has grown more comfortable with the running back as the season has gone along. That increased comfort level has led to more rushing attempts, which in turn led to many large rushing totals.

With his increased workload and consistent production, the over on the Woody Marks rushing prop that is set at 94.5 with -115 odds is the best bet for USC vs UCLA.
