College Football Props For Week 1: Best CFB Props

College football is back, and Week 1 offers bettors their first chance to dive into college football props and betting markets for the new season.

From quarterback passing yards to running back rushing totals and wide receiver touchdown odds, Week 1 college football props provide valuable opportunities for fans looking to get action on the earliest slate of games.

With matchups like LSU vs Clemson, Alabama vs Florida State and other season-opening contests on the schedule, sportsbooks have already released lines, spreads, and totals that highlight key players to watch. This guide breaks down the top Week 1 college football props, odds, and betting insights to help you get ready for kickoff.

Best College Football Props – Pick #1: Tommy Castellanos, Florida State UNDER ~28.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Coincidentally enough Tommy Castellanos starts in the opener for the team he defeated in last season’s opener in Florida State as they host Alabama as double-digit underdogs.

Castellanos didn’t strike us as a mobile quarterback so we’re going to take him under 28.5 rushing yards on Saturday night.

In 2023 Castellanos did showcase his legs gaining over 1,100 yard son the ground but last season in eight games he rushed for just 194 yards in total averaging 2.1 yards per carry.

Alabama returns eight starters on defense and remember in college football every sack goes against the QB rushing yards number.

In 2024 Florida State ranked third to last in total sacks allowed with 49. Castellanos could break off a few crucial runs, but 2-3 sacks against him in this game should keep him under 28.5 rushing yards against Alabama.

College Football Props Prediction 2: Cade Klubnik, Clemson OVER ~260.5 Passing Yards (-115)

Cade Klubnik averaged 260 yards per game passing last season and coincidentally enough that’s what his passing prop is set at ahead of their clash with LSU at home on Saturday night.

We’re going to take him to go over that number throwing for more that 260 yards in four of his final five games last season which included the ACC Championship and CFB first round matchup.

Klubnik is no stranger to big games going against a LSU defense that ranked bottom half of the SEC in passing yards per game allowed in 2024.

LSU heads into this season with one of the best linebacker corps in the nation so the running game could be held at bay which will put more emphasis on the passing game and getting the ball downfield.

Klubnik averaged 22 completions per game last season and with the team returning their top three receivers as well, let’s take Klubnik to go over 260.5 passing yards in their showdown at home against LSU.
