Best Player Prop Bets for December 27 CFB Bowl Games

1. Bear Bachmeier (BYU QB) to Rush for 50+ Yards (+103 at DraftKings)

This showdown in the Pop-Tarts Bowl pits BYU (11-2) against Georgia Tech (9-3), notorious for its shaky defense. Remember, Georgia Tech's D has allowed substantial rushing yards recently, including 196 to a single RB from NC State and over 200 to Pitt's Turner.

Bachmeier is usually good for about nine carries per game; he has sensational rushing potential, given Georgia Tech's vulnerability. Throughout the season, he's eclipsed 40 yards rushing seven times, making this bet a no-brainer.

Also consider: Bachmeier to get 60+ rushing yards at +166!

2. Ahmad Hardy (Missouri RB) for 120+ Rushing Yards (-102 at DK)

In the Gator Bowl against Virginia, Hardy is set to shine under the spotlight. The first-team All-SEC RB has been terrifying defenses, topping over 100 yards in eight games, including a jaw-dropping 300 yards against Mississippi State recently. As Virginia's defense falters against strong RBs, betting on Hardy to breach 120 is ripe for the picking.

Best ATS Picks for December 27 College Football Bowl Games

1. San Diego State +7.5 (-120 at FanDuel)

The Aztecs (9-3) come in as heavy underdogs against an explosive North Texas (11-2). This is a classic case of superior defense meeting an offense that can struggle against teams that bring the heat.

San Diego State boasts the nation's top-ranked special teams unit and formidable defensive stats. Expect them to make this a grueling match, keeping it close and possibly even snatching an outright win.

2. Missouri -4 (-108 at DraftKings)

Missouri's strength lies in brute force from the line of scrimmage, potentially overpowering Virginia. Watching Virginia's offense struggle against solid defenses gives Missouri the advantage here. This one could finish comfortably within the spread if Missouri's defensive prowess neutralizes Virginia's star players.

As always, remember to bet responsibly, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
