Drew Allar H/L Than 1.5 ing Touchdowns
This is a big trip for 5-0 Penn State as it looks to avoid a massive letdown or simply a moderate upset. This is not a typical trip on the Big Ten schedule, but it will be moving forward — likewise with Oregon. For this game, Drew Allar is charged with throwing for higher than 1.5 ing touchdowns in a game that might not see much offense. The Nittany Lions haven’t left the comfy confines of Beaver Stadium since heading to West Virginia on August 31. That’s four straight home games for Allar and the rest of the Lions offense.
Stokastic’s CFB DFS projections have Allar finishing at 1.29 ing touchdowns, enough to help correlate our play. While he’s been able to clear this number in three games — most impressively against West Virginia — those were mostly cupcake teams. As things slowed down over the past two weeks, we’ve seen Allar do the same, with just one ing touchdown combined in that stretch.
These are quality conference wins against both Illinois and UCLA, but Allar is not the fuel behind the points. Penn State will once again rely on people around him first then ask Allar to help facilitate.

With three rushing touchdowns and plenty of carries so far, Allar might be a threat on the ground and vulture one of those touchdowns.
Underdog Fantasy Pick’em Prediction: Drew Allar Lower Than 1.5 ing Touchdowns
Dillon Gabriel H/L Than 33.5 ing Attempts
Last week we successfully backed Oregon’s running back Jordan James, so we felt compelled to return to the Ducks well. This time it’s Dillion Gabriel and focusing in on the ing attempts in what should be an overall lower-scoring game. Gabriel and the Ducks are best served doing two things, both not boding well for him eclipsing 33.5. Oregon has to score first; it is on a ridiculous unbeaten streak when it scores first — especially a touchdown. It also has to incorporate James early and often. The ground game can lead to points, which limits ing attempts.
Gabriel hasn’t looked sharp over the past few weeks either, which may hurt his chances of benefiting from continued calls. With three picks in two games, Gabriel has either been reckless or on the wrong side of mistakes around him. Both teams need this win early in the season, and Oregon is still feeling its way around the conference, so there’s a good lean towards the under game total.
That’s where Gabriel might simply not have the volume to get past 33.5 ing attempts. A slower game should benefit Oregon so long as James can stay moving his legs. The game script just doesn’t scream higher here.
