College football bowl season is soundly underway and amid cancellations, there have been some great matchups -- look no further than the Music City Bowl between Tennessee and Purdue. That said, there’s no rest for the weary and time is of the essence when it comes to making sound betting decisions with bowl games happening fast and furious.
With our arsenal of betting tools, we’re confident we can help take you to the next level. Loaded with the tools that can help guide your betting decisions - from the Edge Tracker, Key Numbers, Player Prop Projections and more - we are confident that the latest edition of our tools is the finest we’ve ever produced. What better place to look for actionable information than the Orange Bowl between No. 2 Michigan vs. No. 3 Georgia.
Today, we are previewing the Player Prop Projections tool, which provides access to full prop bet and stat projections for players in any given game. With this tool, you can filter props through custom projections, specific stats and values. This time around, we’re going to take a look at Michigan RB Hassan Haskins’ Over/Under rushing yards in the College Football Playoff semifinal.
Take a look:
As highlighted above, the Player Props Projections tool has Haskins sitting at 83.7 rushing yards, which appears to be a fairly reasonable number. However, looking at his previous contests paints a different picture.
Haskins has averaged only 58.6 rushing yards in his last five games, drastically down from his season average of 99.1 yards in 13 games. While it may be easy to be dissuaded by the fact that his last three games has him averaging 72.7 rushing yards, it’s also important to note that he has eclipsed 84 yards six times, with a massive 169-yard performance -- on 28 carries -- against Ohio State.
In all, while hesitation is warranted, it should not dissuade any potential action on Haskins’ projected O/U. Michigan’s offense has improved as of late and with Haskins’ history behind him, this should be a manageable number. At any rate, expect a dazzling matchup between two highly-ranked squads.
