Mellott took home the Walter Payton Award as the FCS' top player in the country, but he's not the only superstar QB taking the field in this game. Miller is right there with some of the top passers in the Bison's history. 

Not only does he hold the school record for passing yards over the likes of Easton Stick and Carson Wentz, but Miller is fifth all-time in rushing touchdowns for the Bison. He's also scored in four straight games and should again against the Bobcats. 

Miller has 10 rushing TDs this season and has seen an uptick in carries over the last four games, averaging 12.5 carries per game after averaging seven over the first 11 games. With his increased volume and big play ability - 20 runs of 10-plus yards this season, per - Miller should score and turn a $10 bet into a $13 profit.

Scottre Humphrey anytime TD scorer ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -135 via bet365 | Implied probability: 57.45%

While I expect Mellott to live up to his nickname and score, I think Humphrey is worth backing, too. With Adam Jones' price sitting at -180, it's tough to justify backing him when Humphrey's odds pay a $7.41 profit on a $10 winning bet.

Humphrey leads the team in rushing TDs (15) and has been the more consistent scorer game-to-game. Jones has found the end zone in 64.2% of his team's contests, meanwhile Humphrey has scored in 71.4% of games. 

He's also the more talented back when it comes to creating on his own and sits top 40 in the FCS in rushing yards after contact (696), missed tackles forced (41), and 15-plus-yard runs (20). I'd bank on both Mellott and Humphrey to score, and if you're feeling spicy you can parlay them both to score at +190 via bet365.
