This is it people. Well, for those of us that are allowed to be CFB player props anyway. There is just no way for the ‘books to set lines on these kids and Saturday we have yet another example of 1 they missed. NC State and Wake Forest take the field at 7:30pm ET and when they do, we’re going to see greatness. The kid’s name is Zonovan Knight and his rushing yards prop is an absolute joke.
On top of this article, you should definitely check out our CFB expert picks for the action today. It’s just a smart thing to do. Also, bets can be added to the card, so why not follow me on Twitter in case we get some last-second action? Things change all day with CFB games so there is a chance for opportunity to knock.
CFB Player Prop – Zonovan Knight over 60.5 rushing yards (-115)

I have only seen this one posted at DraftKings but BetMGM could join in at any time. Also, FanDuel gets into the CFB player prop game as well so there’s always a chance they show up at some point. Still, I love this number so I just went with it at DraftKings. There’s no need to wait.
First off, Knight has had a couple tough ones this season but he is coming off a 75-yard performance against the Florida State Seminoles. They have the best run defense (opponent yards per attempt) of any team NC State has seen in a month. Still, it looked like the plan was to feed Knight and he produced–which leads me to think we have an edge here.
Wake Forest has one of the worst run defenses I have ever seen–video games included! The Demon Deacons gave up 213 yards to Ty Chandler last week. The week before that Mataeo Durant went for 103 yards. Three different kids for Army went 90+. Two kids from Syracuse broke 150. This team gives up the run like it’s their job. There is no chance the Deacons hold Knight to under 61 yards. No chance.
