- The over for Dillon Gabriel’s passing yards prop that is set at 275.5 yards is the best bet for the Oregon vs Michigan game.
- Donovan Edwards to have more than 9.5 receiving yards is another good Oregon vs Michigan prop when bet on its own or in a parlay with Gabriel.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The best bets for the Oregon versus Michigan game are player props. Specifically, the over on the passing yards prop for Ducks superstar quarterback Dillon Gabriel and the over for Dovan Edwards’ receiving yards prop at Bovada.
Betting on Dillon Gabrial Over 275.5 Passing Yards
Dillon Gabriel’s passing yard line at college football player prop betting sites is set at 275.5 yards, with both the over and under given -114 odds. The over on the passing yards prop for Gabriel is the best bet for this game for two reasons:
- Dillon Gabriel has thrown for over 275.5 yards in six of eight games this season. He has 290+ yards in each of his past three. Those three games were all against BIG 10 opponents. That means Gabriel’s impressive yardage statistics are not propped up by big games against non-conference opponents. In fact, Gabriel has averaged nearly the same amount of passing yards per game against BIG 10 teams (294.75) as non-conference teams (298).
- Michigan’s defense is overrated by oddsmakers. After having the best scoring defense in the country (10.4 points per game) last year and the second-ranked unit against the pass (157.0 passing yards per game allowed), Michigan has dropped to the 41st-best defense in points allowed (15.6) and dropped to 85th in passing yards allowed per game (228.5). The overrated defense thought of the Wolverines' defense is likely a main factor in the way the passing yards prop for Dillon Gabriel is set more than 20 yards less than his season average of 296.4.
Given Gabriel’s season-long performance and Michigan’s disappointing defense, the best bet for the matchup is on the superstar quarterback to go over 275.5 passing yards.
- If Dillion Gabriel passes for more than 275.5 yards, it may be time to start looking at his odds at Heisman Trophy betting sites which are currently set at +250. Those Dillon Gabriel Heisman odds will likely get even shorter if he has a big game in The Big House.

Betting on Donovan Edwards Over 9.5 Receiving Yards
Either as a correlated bet in a parlay with Dillon Gabriel’s passing yards prop (parlay has +254 odds) or on its own, the receiving yards prop for Donovan Edwards that is set at 9.5 yards is a good bet to go over (-113 odds).
Edwards has more than 9.5 receiving yards in two of his past three games and has emerged as a primary option in Michigan’s struggling passing offense. He also ranks third on the team in catches for the season.
Given that sportsbooks have made Michigan a 14-point underdog, the Wolverines will likely have to lean on their passing attack led by Davis Warren.
That game script means more opportunities for Donovan Edwards to go over his 9.5 receiving yards line set at college football prop betting sites.
