College Football Picks Today for CFB DFS on PrizePicks – Saturday, November 14
We’ll highlight players for some of today’s best CFB matchups, featuring four college football picks across DFS projections on PrizePicks.
First up, Duke is quietly 7-2 and 4-2 in ACC play with a chance to put the nation on notice as 13.5-point underdogs on the spread vs. #7 Miami. Following last week’s 31-24 loss vs. #5 Notre Dame, the Hurricanes look to get back on track for today’s 12:00 p.m. ET kickoff on ABC.
Later, #18 USC and #9 Indiana battle at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS. Following a massive 30-18 over #20 Ohio State in their last game, the Trojans suddenly have an outside chance to make the College Football Playoff and compete for a Big Ten title. They enter as 9.5-point underdogs for the spread vs. the home Hoosiers, per PrizePicks.
We round out our best college football picks for DFS with two night games: Florida vs. #11 Kentucky (6:15 p.m. ET on ESPN) and #2 Utah vs. #23 Arizona (7:30 p.m. ET on FOX).
It’s time to dig into today’s best CFB DFS picks for Saturday, November 14, featuring Miami RB Mark Fletcher Jr., Indiana RB Lee Beebe Jr., and more.
Miami RB Mark Fletcher Jr. vs. Duke: 69.5 Rush Yards
- Miami is still operating without WR Malachi Toney, and that suggests a more prevalent run game going forward.
- Due to a 24-3 deficit early in the third quarter vs. Notre Dame, the Hurricanes were forced into a pass-heavy approach, tallying 43 passing attempts compared to 28 carries last week. RB Mark Fletcher Jr. was still effective, though, averaging 4.4 yards per carry (YPC).
- However, the senior tailback continues to split time with RB Javian Mallory, leading to three straight games with 13 carries. Fletcher has posted only 47.0 rushing yards per game over the last three.
- Duke’s run defense is no pushover, holding opponents to only 3.3 yards per carry (86th percentile) and -0.12 EPA per rushing attempt (93rd percentile), per Game on Paper.
- According to Fourth and Short, the Blue Devils have limited push in the game at 2.6 line yards per rushing attempt (87th percentile) — which measures an offensive line’s efficiency. Plus, Duke doesn’t allow many big plays in the run game at 0.8 second-level yards per carry (95th percentile).
- Fletcher has only 3.8 YPC over his previous four contests. This, paired with a strong Duke run defense, may lead to Miami airing it out once again.
Pick Mark Fletcher Jr. + Miami to win on PrizePicks.
Indiana RB Lee Beebe Jr. vs. USC: 80.5 Rush Yards
- Indiana RB Turbo Richard is out due to injury on Saturday, meaning RB Lee Beebe Jr. should take the bulk of the work on Saturday.
- Over his last two games, Beebe recorded 27 rushing attempts, 140 rushing yards (70.0 per game), and 5.2 YPC. His attempts could flirt with 20+ on Saturday, supported by 17.5 projected rushing attempts on PrizePicks.
- Beebe got the lion’s share in the backfield vs. Northwestern and Rutgers on September 25 and October 3, and he took advantage of the opportunity by compiling 22.0 carries and 162.5 rushing yards per game with 7.4 YPC.
- The Hoosiers remain a run-first team, sporting a 54.34% rush play rate (67th percentile), and that likely won’t slow down with USC giving up 0.13 EPA per rushing attempt (17th percentile) and a 47.1% rush success rate (22nd percentile).
- While the Trojans are riding high after a 30-18 win over Ohio State, the run defense still looked vulnerable by yielding 204 rushing yards and 4.7 YPC vs. the Buckeyes.
Add Lee Beebe Jr. + Indiana for bigger payouts on PrizePicks!
Kentucky WR Kenny Darby vs. Florida: 58.5 Receiving Yards
- Kentucky faces a vulnerable Florida defense that concedes 30.6 PPG (27th percentile) and 5.5 yards per play (50th percentile).
- The Gators allow 7.4 yards per passing attempt (49th percentile) and a 49.1% pass success rate (13th percentile).
- Enter Kenny Darby, who is the Wildcats’ top target with 576 receiving yards (64.0 per game). He’s got a knack for generating big plays thanks to 12.8 yards per reception.
- Since Week 5, the true freshman wideout is averaging 70.0 receiving yards per game over his last five outings — surpassing this projection in four games during the split.
- According to Pro Football Focus, Darby’s 2.65 yards per route run tops Kentucky, and he’s capable of creating with 6.9 yards after the catch per reception.
Pick More or Less for Kenny Darby + Kentucky to win for bigger payouts on PrizePicks!
Utah QB Devon Dampier vs. Arizona: 51.5 Rush Yards
- Following a big-time 28-20 win over BYU in the Holy War, Utah hits the road against Arizona. The Wildcats are in must-win territory with two losses in Big 12 play.
- Running the ball and defense travel in college football. The Utes have both by holding teams to 16.6 PPG (91st percentile) and tallying 196.9 rushing yards per game (85th percentile). That’s aided Utah’s perfect 3-0 away record, including a 49-25 win as 7.5-point favorites vs. Cincinnati the last time the Utes hit the road.
- Utah may look to slow this game, further backed by Arizona carrying a dangerous 34.1 PPG (86th percentile) and 9.1 yards per passing attempt (91st percentile). Look no further than the Utes’ 53.74% rush play rate (62nd percentile) and 5.2 YPC (91st percentile).
- RB Wayshawn Parker has battled an ankle injury and is currently questionable, averaging 59.0 rushing yards per game over his last two.
- QB Devon Dampier’s workload on the ground has skyrocketed since Week 8, amassing 12.3 rushing attempts and 97.3 rushing yards per game in the split.
- Dampier recorded an absurd 62.7 rushing yards after contact per game with 3 breakaway attempts (15+ yards) over his last three.
- Arizona is vulnerable against the run by allowing 4.0 yards per carry (63rd percentile).
Pick Devon Dampier + Utah to win for bigger payouts on PrizePicks!
