Each week throughout the season and into the postseason I share my favorite college player props as part of our DFS College Football series. We're off to a solid start in the College Football Playoff games, going 3-1 in the first round.
I find my edge with RotoWire's Picks & Props tool. Multiple prediction factors help decide if we should lean "higher" or "lower" on all of the player props available across multiple sportsbooks and DFS sites. I use the tool as a starting point to highlight favorable prop lines that I might otherwise miss and to narrow down my options before doing a deeper dive into trends and matchups.
Below are the best picks you can make on Underdog Fantasy in the CFP this week.
QB Dante Moore, Oregon 
It seems like everyone is higher on Moore both as a college player and as an NFL prospect than I am. I also feel like I'm alone in picking Texas Tech to come away with the win in this game. With that said, I still think this is a number that Moore should clear. He has topped it easily in the past four games and in seven of the past 10 games.
Oregon's opponent this week, Texas Tech, comes in with the top-rated rush defense in the country. The Ducks are too talented and too well coached offensively not to move the ball, but I think they'll need Moore to carry them. All of his best weapons are finally healthy and should be able to push him over 240 yards.
CFB Underdog Pick: Dante Moore HIGHER than 231.5 pass yards
RB Nate Frazier, Georgia 
Frazier has tallied at least 72 yards in four of the past seven games, including a Week 8 matchup against Mississippi. He had his season high in rush attempts in that contest, and the Bulldogs would be smart to try to control the clock and keep Mississippi's high scoring offense off the field in this one.
Georgia should be able to move the ball on the ground against Ole Miss's middle-of-the-pack rush defense that allowed nearly 150 rush yards per game, and Frazier should once again lead the team in carries and yards.
CFB Underdog Pick: Nate Frazier HIGHER than 60.5 rush yards
RB Roman Hemby, Indiana 
Hemby may technically be at the top of the depth chart, but it has been a split backfield for most of the season, with Kaelon Black getting more volume the past two games. Black led the way against Ohio State's top five run defense in the Big Ten Conference Championship. I project more of the same against Alabama.
It could be hard for either back to find much running room against a Crimson Tide run defense that has been playing well. While mobile quarterbacks have been able to exploit the defense, running backs have been mostly shut down. Only one RB has topped 52 rush yards in the past seven games against Bama.
CFB Underdog Pick: Roman Hemby LOWER than 61.5 rush yards
WR Brandon Inniss, Ohio State 
It's a boring pick but one that you could easily win early in the first quarter. And if you don't hit it early, it's still a live pick until the clock hits triple zeroes.
Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate are the stars, but Inniss has been a regular as the third wide receiver, earning multiple targets in each of the past eight games while averaging 20.5 yards during that stretch. Miami's defense won't make it easy, but Inniss should be able to come away with a catch or two to get over this number.
CFB Underdog Pick: Brandon Inniss HIGHER than 9.5 receiving yards
