- Kansas State Wildcats quarterback Avery Johnson has -115 odds to go over 198.5 passing yards in the season opener against the Iowa State Cyclones.

DUBLIN – The 2025 college football season kicks off with a matchup between the Kansas State Wildcats (-3.0) and Iowa State Cyclones, and Bovada has player prop offerings for both sides. The best legal sports betting prop for the Aer Lingus Classic is Kansas State’s quarterback Avery Johnson to go over his 198.5-yard passing projection.
Avery Johnson Passing Yards Prop
- Over 198.5 Passing Yards -115
- Under 198.5 Passing Yards -115
Johnson cleared the 200-yard mark in seven of his last nine games to close the 2024 season. He had two or more touchdowns in 10 of 13 games for the season, yet legal college football betting sites favor the under (-145) on his 1.5 passing touchdown projection for Saturday.
The Wildcats quarterback threw for 220 yards and three touchdowns when he faces Iowa State last season. Receiver Jayce Brown reeled in 106 of those yards and two of those touchdowns, yet his projection at Kansas sportsbook apps is low at 52.5 receiving yards.
Jayce Brown Receiving Yards Prop
- Over 52.5 Receiving Yards -115
- Under 52.5 Receiving Yards -115
Brown is the top target for Johnson after posting an 800+ yard receiving season in 2024. Expect him to be heavily involved in the Wildcats passing game in the 2025 season opener.
Best Iowa State Player Prop: Abu Sama Over 46.5 Rushing Yards
Kansas State has two prop locks, but the best legal Iowa sports betting prop for the Cyclones is on running back Abu Sama to go over 46.5 rushing yards. Sama expects to have a bigger role in the rushing game this season and has the explosiveness to clear Saturday’s projection on one carry.
Abu Sama Rushing Yards Prop
- Over 46.5 Rushing Yards -115
- Under 46.5 Rushing Yards -115
In last year’s matchup with the Wildcats, Sama rushed for 81 yards on 15 carries. His line for the season opener is too low and worth the bet on -115 odds to go over.
