We saw some great quarterback play in last week’s top 25 games. Heading into Week 13, we don’t have the strongest slate, but it’s the calm before the storm of rivalry week. This week features only two top 25 matchups. To kick things off in the noon slot, the Missouri Tigers travel to Norman to face the Oklahoma Sooners. Then at 3:30, in what is clearly the better of the two games, we’ll see what a playoff elimination matchup between the USC Trojans and the Oregon Ducks could very well be. Let’s take a look at the QB props offered in these contests.

(22) Missouri vs. (8) Oklahoma

Beau Pribula/Matt Zollers: With Beau Pribula only now being medically cleared, we don’t yet know which quarterback will take the field this week. Because of that uncertainty, no props have been posted for either player.

  • Props
    • Passing Yards: 217.5 (over -114; under -114)
    • Passing TD’s: 1.5 (over +178; under -245)
    • Rushing Yards: 32.5 (over -114; under -114)

Oklahoma’s John Mateer has primarily operated in a game-manager role this season. The defense has been the driving force in keeping the Sooners competitive and helping them pull out tight wins. On the year, Mateer is averaging 260.8 passing yards, 0.8 passing touchdowns, and 36.5 rushing yards per game. This week he faces a Missouri defense allowing just 180.7 passing yards and 102.6 rushing yards per game. Yards should be difficult to come by for Mateer, and he may very well hit the under on all three of his listed props.

(15) USC Trojans vs. (7) Oregon Ducks

Jayden Maiava:

  • Props
    • Passing Yards: 243.5 (over -114; under -114)
    • Passing TD’s: 1.5 (over +114; under -152)

Jayden Maiava has been outstanding for USC all season, even in their losses. He’s averaging 286.8 passing yards per game along with 1.8 passing touchdowns. Against an Oregon team that generally puts up plenty of points, the Trojans will need Maiava to air it out. Oregon’s defense has been elite, allowing just 119.4 passing yards per game—the best mark in the FBS. While that unit has been impressive, this matchup will be unlike anything they’ve faced all season. Even though most quarterbacks have struggled against the Ducks, I think Maiava has a strong chance to hit the over on both of his projections.

Dante Moore:

  • Props
    • Passing Yards: 228.5 (over -114; under -114)
    • Passing TD’s: 1.5 (over -178; under +132)

Oregon’s Dante Moore has shown all season that he can adjust to whatever an opponent throws at him. He enters this week averaging 219.0 passing yards and 2.1 passing touchdowns per game. The Ducks also haven’t needed his full arsenal in many matchups due to frequent blowouts. This week, though, he’ll face one of the strongest USC pass defenses in recent memory, as the Trojans are giving up just 198.3 passing yards per game. Even so, I expect both teams to put points on the board, which should give Moore plenty of opportunities to hit the over on his passing projections.
