Here’s what I’m riding with for Week 8’s player props, sides, and totals.
PrizePicks Tiered Entry
Foundation: KJ Jefferson OVER 20.5 Fantasy Points & Kyle Monangai OVER 66.5 Rushing Yards
Add: Andrew Armstrong OVER 13.5 Fantasy Points
Add: Dominic Richardson UNDER 43.5 Rushing Yards
Trying this format out again for the second straight week. If you don’t play PrizePicks then you can skip this section. If you do, I understand that different people like to make different wagers where they piece to up 2–6 plays however they feel comfortable. This is a tiered system of plays in which it’s possible to play 2, 3, or 4 depending on your risk tolerance. I don’t even see six props worth playing this week as PP’s offerings continue to sharpen up and hold little value this season. As always, the yardage and TD props listed for PrizePicks can be played at DK/FD as single bets as well when available.

Sides and Totals
I guess I should ditch props entirely and focus on the standard betting markets as sides and total have hit at 62.9% (17-10) this year while the props have been underwhelming to say the least. Joking of course, but also somewhat serious … the prop market just hasn’t felt the same this year and I don’t know if it’s due to the new clock rules or what, but the numbers are off this season and my process has been similar to past seasons, so I’m still hoping for stabilization over the back half of the season. Regardless, sides and total have been good the last few weeks so let’s hope to keep that going in Week 8. Lines are listed at the current number as of this writing on Friday morning.
Hawaii/New Mexico Over 60
Georgia State +3.5 @ Louisiana
Nevada/San Diego State Over 47.5
South Carolina/Mizzou Over 59
Arkansas -6.5 vs Mississippi State
Old Dominion +6.5 vs. App State
Utah State/San Jose State Over 65.5
Memphis/UAB Over 61.5
Coastal Carolina -10 @ Arkansas State
Duke/Florida State Under 49.5
Miami +3 vs. Clemson
Charlotte/ECU Under 40.5
