We cashed both plays last week again – making that two straight weekends of 3x winners! Let’s do it again, shall we? Week 5 in the college landscape sees a couple marquee matchups, none bigger than the SEC showdown between Alabama and Georgia. Anytime Colorado is in action the world will find a way to watch, even if it’s just a lowly battle against UCF. Let’s span the college world for the top two plays on Underdog – using the OddsShopper pick’em tool when possible.

Kobe Hudson H/L Than 66.5 Receiving Yards
There’s already some gap between the posted number on Underdog and the 70.5 receiving yards at most books. The Kobe Hudson line may already be on the move but it’s still nowhere near where he should finish against Colorado. As expected, Team Sanders will storm into Orlando looking to score a ton of points. They may find it a little more difficult just getting the football as UCF is one of the top rushing teams across the country.
If you thought that extra attention to the ground game is going to somehow negatively impact one of the best UCF receivers – think again. Stokastic’s NCAAFB DFS projections have Hudson smashing the above number, finishing with just over 80 yards in the air against Colorado. Hudson got off to a shaky start with just 61 yards against UNH; he’s since gone over 100 yards in each of the last two games.
This is going to be a Travis Hunter legacy game just to keep up with Hudson, two ways. Meaning, Hunter is going to have to match Hudson’s performance while doing everything to guard the UCF wideout. He won’t be the only Buffalo defender eyeing Hudson but maybe the most important.
UCF takes the game and does it through the air. I like Hudson to clear the above number.

Underdog Fantasy Pick’em Prediction: Kobe Hudson Higher Than 66.5 Receiving Yards
Carson Beck H/L Than 7.5 Rushing Yards
A smaller number for Carson Beck to eclipse to cash our 3x ticket but it won’t be easy against Alabama. The good news is our DFS projections at Stokastic project Beck to scamper for over 12 yards, enough of a break to play this on Underdog. Beck is far from the first option on the ground, but is no stranger to carrying the football. While he’s not someone who will tuck it often, Beck makes the most of his opportunities – leaving us to believe this number dropped simply because of the opponent.
Beck has not only cleared the above total in each of the three Georgia games so far, he’s done it off one carry in every game. With long runs of 8, 11, 13 this year – Beck should see another 4-5 carries pushing him over the top. Even if the Bama defensive front is just that much better than previous opponents – they certainly are on paper despite the battle with Kentucky – Beck should see another carry or two even if it’s a scramble with the pocket collapsing. He’s more inclined to get an extra carry in a closer game versus a runaway against the Tide.
The offense moves through Beck via his arms not his legs, but there’s some solid value in 5-6 yards difference between Underdog and sharp projections. Looking at what Beck’s already done this year and it’s easy to see why we love this on your card.
