Week 7 is here, and boy, do we have a game on our hands. No. 7 Oregon will visit No. 6 Washington in a battle of the two highest-scoring offenses in college football. The Huskies and Ducks rank No. 1 and No. 2 in total yards and average 97.6 points per game combined. I’ll be watching this game and will have some for sure in it. The top 5 teams in the country are all favored by three touchdowns or more and should handle their games with ease this week, but that gives us an opportunity to take advantage of some nice rushing props for the heavy favorites. There are a handful of games and props to choose from, so let’s take a look at the best college football PrizePicks plays for Saturday’s slate of games.

College Football PrizePicks Predictions for Week 7
Daijun Edwards, Georgia, More/Less Than 74.5 Rushing Yards
Georgia comes into this game ranked No. 1 in the country while averaging 205.3 rushing yards per game, which is top 20.
Edwards leads the team with 60 carries, 314 rushing yards and six touchdowns. The next man up has only 31 carries, so he’s the clear horse in this backfield. The Bulldogs are 31.5-point favorites over Vanderbilt, who have lost five straight games and allowed 215 rushing yards to Florida last week. Montrell Johnson Jr. had 135 of those, and he’s not the only one to break the 100-yard mark against the Commodores this season. Wake Forest had two players go over the century mark in one game.
Vanderbilt has the worst-rated defense in the SEC and second worst against the run. This is a perfect game to get Edwards some more touches and get him over the 100-yard mark again.

Troy Franklin, Oregon, More/Less Than 90.5 Receiving Yards
This game has the second-highest total on the slate at 67 points and is a tight spread, with the Ducks favored by 2.5 points. Both teams are 5-0 and coming off their bye week, so they should be well rested and healthy. Oregon has the No. 1 pass blocking efficiency in college football, and quarterback Bo Nix has only been sacked three times in five games, so he should have time to find Franklin. Franklin had 139 receiving yards on five receptions in a 34-37 loss to Washington last year. Washington has allowed four receptions of 50 yards of more in its five games against teams that have a combined record of 14-15.
Franklin leads the Ducks with 32 receptions and 42 targets on the season. He’s gone over 100 receiving yards in four of five games. The only game he failed to reach 100 yards (84) was a 55-10 blowout of Hawai’i where he logged just 35 of 68 offensive snaps.
College Football PrizePicks Play: Troy Franklin More than 90.5 Receiving Yards
Ja’Lynn Polk, Washington, More/Less Than 5.0 Receptions
Stacking high-total games in flex plays is a good idea, and that is exactly what we are doing here. Rome Odunze leads the team with 32 receptions but carries a 71% reception rate, while Polk has an 81% reception rate and isn’t far behind with 26 receptions. Polk has a 75% contested catch rate and has had five or more receptions in four straight games. Odunze should get most of the attention in this one, allowing Polk to get free.
Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has a passing yards prop of 359.5 yards, so the books are expecting lots of attempts.
College Football PrizePicks Play: Ja’Lynn Polk, Washington, More than 5 receptions
Jawhar Jordan, Louisville, More/Less Than 91.5 Rushing Yards
Louisville is coming off an upset win of Notre Dame last week and rolls into Pittsburgh at 6-0 and 7.5-point favorites. Pittsburgh has allowed three 100-yard rushers in its five games and allows 128.4 rushing yards per game. Jordan leads the team with 87 carries, 7.5 yards per carry and eight touchdowns on the ground. He’s recorded 96 or more rushing yards in four of five games and has four carries of 4o yards or more. His eight touchdowns and 653 yards are both top 10 in the country. Pitt is ranked 124th of 133 FBS teams in tackling, which should allow Jordan to break another long run or two.
