⬇️ Nico Iamaleava Under 160.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐
Nico Iamaleava’s return home has been a massive disappointment. Iamaleava transferred to UCLA amid a money dispute after throwing for 2,616 yards and 19 touchdowns at Tennessee last year. The Southern California native has delivered just 788 passing yards for the 0-4 Bruins so far.
Iamaleava’s two best passing performances — 217 and 255 yards — came against the No. 108 (New Mexico) and No. 122 (UNLV) pass defenses. Now he faces Penn State, which ranks 19th against the pass. Even in blowout wins over Nevada, Florida International, and Villanova, the Nittany Lions allowed 125, 149, and 96 passing yards. So Iamaleava is hardly a lock to pad his stats in garbage time.
FanDuel offers this Penn State vs. UCLA player prop at -114 odds. That’s a 53.27% implied win probability, with a $10 bet potentially returning $8.77.
⬆️ Kaytron Allen Over 82.5 rushing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐
Kaytron Allen exploded for 124 yards on 14 carries in last year’s Big Ten championship game against Oregon. The Ducks cleaned up their defense last week, limiting the Nittany Lions’ leading rusher to 54 yards on 12 totes. That snapped a six-game streak in which Allen had compiled 70-plus rushing yards when getting double-digit carries.
I expect Allen to carry the rock 10-plus times Saturday. If he does, the senior should blow past his rushing total, just as he did in the previous two games against Villanova (86 yards) and Florida International (144 yards). Not only do the Bruins allow a whopping 232.8 rushing yards per game, but four different players have topped 87 yards against them.
Tail this Penn State vs. UCLA prop bet at BetMGM. The -115 odds equate to a 53.49% implied win probability, and you could take home $8.70 on a $10 wager.
🔥 Nicholas Singleton to score 2+ touchdowns (+210) ⭐⭐
Penn State running back Nicholas Singleton was held out of the end zone for the first time all season last week. But he was facing Oregon, which has allowed seven total touchdowns (five rushing) in four games. Conversely, UCLA’s defense has surrendered 17 TDs (nine rushing).
No player has scored twice against the Bruins. Of course, none possess Singleton’s nose for the end zone. The senior had cashed his anytime touchdown prop in 10 consecutive games prior to last week. He’d also tallied multiple scores in four of his previous eight outings.
UCLA gives up more rushing yards per game than all but three FBS teams, so the Nittany Lions will likely run early and often. DraftKings is posting +210 odds on this Penn State vs. UCLA player prop, so a $10 wager would pay $21. The implied win probability is 32.26%.
