Best Betr Picks for CFP Semifinals

(Projections from the SportsLine model unless otherwise noted)

QB Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss, 259.5 passing yards - More

Miami faces Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday, and Chambliss is coming off a stellar performance in the Sugar Bowl. He had 362 passing yards and two touchdowns versus an elite Georgia defense. Chambliss is projected to have 281 passing yards versus the Hurricanes. Select it at Betr:

RB Noah Whittington, Oregon, 44.5 rushing yards - More

Oregon takes on Indiana in the Peach Bowl on Friday, and Whittington is averaging 69.1 rushing yards this season. Oregon's run offense is much more potent than the Alabama one that the Hoosiers saw in the CFP quarterfinals. Whittington averaged a healthy 5.4 yards per carry in his earlier matchup versus IU, and he should receive much more than the five rush attempts he had in that game. Click here to sign up for Betr Picks:

QB Fernando Mendoza, Indiana, 208.5 passing yards - Less

Mendoza has failed to reach 200 passing yards in two of his last three games and threw a pick-six in the earlier contest versus Oregon. In that game he also had his second-worst passer rating of the season as Oregon possesses the No. 6 scoring defense in the nation. The Heisman winner is projected to have 184 passing yards. Combine picks for a parlay on Betr for a potential payout of 6x.
