Pittsburgh running back Desmond Reid should have a big day against Toldedo in the GameAbove Sports Bowl on Thursday. He’s averaged 79.7 rushing yards per game this season.

Reid has received plenty of work for the Panthers. He ended the year with 19 carries against Louisville and has earned 14-plus rushing attempts in seven of his 10 games this season.

With the Panthers being touchdown favorites, I expect a heavy dose of Reid. He could flirt with 100 yards on Thursday.

Arkansas State quarterback Jaylen Raynor has struggled to control the ball this season. He has thrown nine interceptions, cashing this prop in seven of his 12 games.

More importantly, Raynor has thrown seven interceptions in Arkansas State’s five losses. With the Red Wolves being eight-point underdogs, it’s easy to envision Raynor making a mistake on Thursday.

As of this writing, ESPN BET is the only shop offering player prop markets for Thursday’s Rutgers vs. Kansas State matchup. However, this game has some edges after starting running back DJ Giddens declared for the NFL Draft.

Backup running back Dylan Edwards is ready for his turn, and the best way to bet on that is with this +200 value on him to score the first touchdown for Kansas State. He trails KSU quarterback Avery Johnson in that market, but Edwards and Johnson are tied with the best value (+350) in the first touchdown market for either team.

Edwards began his collegiate career with a three-touchdown effort for Colorado in last year’s opener. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a similar showing in what should be a comfortable victory for the Wildcats.
