College Football PrizePicks Predictions for Week 12

Jayden Daniels, LSU, More/Less Than 330.5 ing Yards

Jayden Daniels has emerged as the most dynamic player in college football, leading LSU to a 7-3 record. Last week, against Florida, he became the first player ever to record 350 ing yards and 200 rushing yards in a single game. He leads the nation in total yards and QBR. You might be surprised reading this, but I’m going with less on his ing yards total. His numbers are crazy good, but 330.5 is too high for this matchup when Daniels is averaging 287.5 ing yards per game.

LSU is favored by 31.5 points against Georgia State. Daniels has gone over this number in just four of 10 games, with all of those games being somewhat competitive. In similar matchups against Army and Grambling, where LSU was favored by more than 30 points, he threw for 269 and 279 yards before giving way to the backups for garbage time. Daniels will likely score four or five touchdowns in this one, but I can’t see a scenario where he plays the whole game or needs to throw more than 25 times.

Cody Schrader, Missouri, More/Less Than 21.5 Fantasy Score

Cody Schrader has carried the Tigers to an 8-2 record and a No. 9 ranking in the polls. Averaging 29.6 fantasy points over his last five games, he has exceeded this number in four of those, including matchups against great defenses like Georgia and Tennessee. He’s averaging 5.6 yards per attempt on the season and has averaged 29 touches per game over the last four games. Schrader has scored 11 touchdowns this season, while his 1,118 rushing yards rank eighth in the country.

Schrader gets a favorable matchup against a Florida defense that was on the wrong end of a record-setting day last Saturday. Florida is allowing 385.5 total yards and 27.4 points per game, while their defense and tackling both rank 11th of 14 teams in the SEC according to Pro Football Focus. Florida is allowing 5.2 yards per attempt, which ranks 122nd of 133 teams. Missouri is favored by 10.5 points, and this game has a total of 57.5. Have a day, Cody Schrader!

Audric Estime, Notre Dame, More/Less Than 102.5 Rushing Yards

Notre Dame plays host to 4-6 Wake Forest as 24.5-point favorites on Saturday. The game total for this one is just 46.5, indicating Notre Dame will not need to much to secure the victory. Audric Estime ranks in the top 25 for rushing attempts, yards and touchdowns. His 4.14 yards after are the fourth highest in college football.

Wake Forest has allowed multiple 100-yard rushers this season and gave up 266 yards on the ground last week to North Carolina State. Behind Preseason All-American Joe Alt, the Notre Dame offensive line has a significant advantage over the Wake Forest defensive line. Estime is averaging 98.8 rushing yards per game and has eclipsed 103 yards four times, and this is a good matchup for him to make it five.
