Best Cameron Rising Prop For Rose Bowl
Cameron Rising Prop: O/U 242.5
It’s likely that Cameron Rising had his two best games of the season against USC, including a massive performance in the Pac-12 Championship Game. The redshirt senior was instrumental in the Utes pulling off the upset, completing 22 of 34 passes for 310 yards and three touchdowns in the 42-27 win.
However, it’s probably not going to be as easy for Rising to move the ball through the air against a strong Penn State defense. The Nittany Lions enter the Rose Bowl allowing just 218.8 yards passing per game and have not allowed over 242 yards through the air since an Oct. 29 loss to C.J. Stroud and the Ohio State Buckeyes. Prior to the strong showing in the championship, Rising failed to pass for more than 250 yards in four consecutive games.
The trip back to Pasadena marks the second consecutive year that Rising’s Utah team will play the Rose Bowl. They fell to Ohio State in the game last year despite having the lead up until late in the fourth quarter.
“It just means the world,” said Rising, per Star Herald. “To go back to the Rose Bowl again, it just means there’s unfinished business that we want to go out there and finish.”
Although it’s fair to expect Rising and Utah to come in with an inspired performance, it’s an uphill battle for the quarterback to eclipse the yards passing prop. When looking at Stokastic’s expert DFS projections, Rising is projected to finish around 219 yards passing in the Rose Bowl, continuing the notion that the under is a strong play.
