NCAA Football Picks: Thursday Night College Football Props 9/1/11

The first day of the college football betting action is here! But before you get started with the NCAA football odds, be sure to check out our college football prop picks for the first day of the season!

Montee Ball Over/Under 122.5 Rushing Yards
It’s tough to bet on a running back to put up at least 123 rushing yards in a game, but we have no reason to believe that both of the big time Wisconsin running backs won’t get to triple digits in rushing. The Runnin’ Rebels had a woeful rush defense last year, and there is no doubt that Ball and RB James White should end up dominating. Don’t be shocked if Ball ends up flying past this number, especially knowing that QB Russell Wilson probably isn’t going to be turned loose in this first game. Ball Over 122.5 Rushing Yards (-105 at BetOnline Sportsbook)

Chris Relf Over/Under 11.5 Completions
Last year, Relf and QB Tyler Russell split time when playing against the Tigers, but this year, we tend to think that Relf is going to have a heck of a lot more work. Head Coach Dan Mullen knows that this is a great opportunity to build his offense, and Memphis’ defense really isn’t going to have any recourse for stopping anything that the Dawgs are going to try to do, and though there is really no reason to put the ball up 20+ times over the course of this game, we do think that Relf will do just that. Take Relf Over 11.5 Completions (-115 at BetOnline Sportsbook).
