Western Michigan vs Bowling Green college football player props
Prop bet #1: Jaden Nixon 2+ touchdowns
Jaden Nixon is the feature back for a Western Michigan Broncos running attack that churns out 209.2 yards per contest, good for a Top-20 mark in college football.
After a sluggish start to his season, with 25 rush yards through two games, Nixon pumped out five games with at least 112 yards rushing over the next seven.
He’s also been living in the end zone. In his most recent game, against Northern Illinois, Nixon rushed for 95 yards and a pair of touchdowns, giving him a dozen on the season.
That’s the fourth time in seven games Nixon has scored multiple touchdowns.
Bowling Green’s run D is giving up 171.1 yards per game, so Nixon figures to be plenty involved, and the odds are nice enough to take a gamble on another 2+ TD game.
Prop bet #2: Blake Bosma anytime touchdown
While he’s nowhere near the statistical realm of Bowling Green Falcons TE Harold Fannin Jr. (more on him in a second), Blake Bosma is having a stellar campaign.
His six TD grabs lead the team, nabbing at least one in four of the last six games. Coming off his worst game, with one grab for six yards in a 42-28 loss to NIU, there’s nowhere to go but up.
The plus odds are enticing to take a flier for the junior to score tonight.
Prop bet #3: Harold Fannin Jr. Over 92.5 receiving yards
The 6-foot-4 junior has had a monster season for the Falcons, checking in with 73 grabs, 1,033 yards, and six scores through nine games.
His 73 catches are 40 clear of the next teammate, and he’s had at least six catches in eight of nine games this season and has topped 135 receiving yards five times.
Pass defense isn’t Western Michigan's strength. It allows 246.2 yards per contest, a Bottom-4 mark in the MAC.
Fannin has been productive in the last two games but has come Under the 92.5 receiving line set against WMU, which has helped make his odds more appealing to the Over this time around.
Last season, he had nine catches for 99 yards against the Broncos — he’s poised for another big one
