Davis Warren Over 130.5 passing yards ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best Odds: -114 on FanDuel | Estimated odds: 53.27%
Warren is the latest player to go through the revolving door of being the starting quarterback for the Michigan Wolverines this season. He will play in the ReliaQuest Bowl against Alabama in a rematch of last year's College Football Playoff Rose Bowl.
In eight appearances this year, Warren is gaining an average of 140.8 yards per game. In half of those games, he's topped the 131-yard mark, so where does the confidence come from going up against the Crimson Tide?
Alabama's defense has been relatively average this season, allowing 195.8 yards per game. Seven of the last nine quarterbacks to play against the Crimson Tide have gained more than 130.5 yards. Kalen DeBoer's team is listed as a two-touchdown favorite at our top sports betting sites, meaning the game script should allow the Wolverines to run the ball when trailing.

Aaron Anderson, scoring at any time ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +125 on DraftKings | Estimated odds: 44.44%.
LSU will have to enlist the help of its next player, as three of its top four receivers (Kyren Lacy, Mason Taylor and C.J. Daniels) have opted out of the Texas Bowl. Anderson, who ranked second on the team in yards gained and touchdowns received, will take over as the No. 1 receiver in the Texas Bowl against Baylor.
Anderson has six touchdowns to his credit this season, including three in the last five games. Nussmeier has eight games with multiple touchdowns for LSU, so Anderson will have plenty of chances to get one in the game against Baylor.
The Tigers have had trouble running the ball, and with a rebuilt offensive line missing two projected first-round picks, we believe they will use the air to find success.
The Bears have allowed 16 touchdowns, but Nussmeier is the best quarterback they've seen so far. Anderson has scored in six of his 12 games, so his +125 DraftKings bet (44.44% implied probability) is a very favorable bet in the Texas Bowl.

College soccer predictions for Tuesday's games
Illinois +10.5 vs. South Carolina ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -115 on FanDuel | Estimated probability: 53.49%
The two best odds teams will meet in the Citrus Bowl. Illinois and South Carolina are 17-6-1 ATS this season, and both are looking to pick up their 10th win on New Year's Eve.
Top bookmakers are putting double-digit odds on the Gamecocks to win, but we think the matchup at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida will be closer than the final one.
South Carolina has six wins by 10 points this season, but none of them have come against opponents ranked in the latest College Football Playoff top-25. Now they enter the game with a stout Illinois Fighting Illini defense without runner Raheem “Rocket” Sanders, whose 1,197 total yards and 13 touchdowns have powered the Gamecocks' offense throughout the campaign.
Illinois just knows how to keep games tight. Bret Bielema's charges have only been in six games where the margin of victory has been more than one point, and they have won four of those games. South Carolina isn't Oregon or Penn State, so we'd rather have the Fighting Illini in this game than the 10.5-point spread on FanDuel suggests.

Penn State -11 vs. Boise State ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -108 on DraftKings | Estimated Odds: 51.92%
As we wrote in our Penn State vs Boise State matchup prediction, the Nittany Lions represent a nightmare matchup for Boise State.
They rank 4th in total defense and 7th in offensive defense, making them perfect candidates to take down Heisman Trophy winner Ashton Gianti. James Franklin's team also has a very talented defense led by Abdul Carter, who is a top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and other talented players.
In addition, Penn State's two-headed offense consisting of Kaitron Allen and Nick Singleton could save time and force Jeanty to spend extended time on the sideline. QB Maddux Madsen and the Broncos' passing attack hasn't played from behind much.
That could cause problems against a Nittany Lions defense playing its best soccer this season - just ask Kevin Jennings and SMU.
All of the best sports betting apps have Penn State going in as at least an 11-point favorite, but it is DraftKings that offers the most favorable odds (-108). A $10 win bet at this price brings $9.26 in profit.
