DFS Picks of the Week: Our top Underdog plays for college and NFL, Nov. 30-Dec. 1
The final weekend of the college football regular season is officially here. We’ve got a Saturday full of rivalry games, which makes things even more intense as we also look to sort out the Playoff field.
In the NFL, we have an interesting slate of games, even if Sunday’s offering is smaller following 3 Thanksgiving games and a Black Friday game.
Every week, our DFS experts — Andrew Olson and Adam Spencer — give their 3 favorite college picks and their 2 best NFL plays via Underdog. Keep reading below to see who they like this weekend.

Our Week 14 CFB Picks
Andrew Olson
Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt QB: Higher than 37.5 rush yards
Pavia has only been kept under 40 yards rushing once this season (Auburn). No disrespect to Tennessee’s defense, but I like Pavia to clear 38 as he leaves it all on the field trying to get the rivalry win.
Marcel Reed, Texas A&M QB: Higher than 33.5 rush yards
This is an attractive number as Reed runs the ball a lot. He’s pretty much a lock to log double-digit rushes as the starting QB, and averages 4.74 yards per carry. We all know Texas is strong on defense, but I like Reed to have his moments and exceed the total.
Jarquez Hunter, Auburn RB: Higher than 80.5 rush yards
Hunter heads into Week 14 on a hot streak with back-to-back games over 100 yards, bringing his average on the season to 6.58 yards per carry. Alabama is giving up 160 rushing yards per game on 4 yards per carry to SEC opponents. I like Hunter to make an impact in his last Iron Bowl.
Adam Spencer
Dylan Sampson, Tennessee RB: Higher than 1.5 rush+receiving TDs
Sampson set the Tennessee single-season record for touchdowns. Now he has Derrick Henry’s single-season record in his sights. When the Vols score, it’s usually Sampson finding pay dirt. I like him to put up 2+ touchdowns against the Commodores in today’s rivalry game.
Raheim Sanders, South Carolina RB: Higher than 77.5 rush yards
The Clemson-South Carolina rivalry is even more intense this year, as both of these teams still have Playoff hopes. Look for the Gamecocks to feed Sanders early and often. He should be good for 78+ yards on the ground.
Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State WR: Higher than 4.5 receptions
I’ll finish with a pick from The Game. The Michigan secondary is beaten up. Even when healthy, this isn’t the same Michigan defense as last year. I’ll take the electric freshman to post 5+ catches as Ohio State looks to lock up a spot in the College Football Playoff and Big Ten Championship Game.
Our Week 13 NFL Picks
Andrew Olson
Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers RB: Higher than 63.5 rush yards
Hubbard consistently gets a solid volume of carries, even with Bryce Young back at QB for Carolina. The Buccaneers have been a middle-of-the-pack rushing defense, making Hubbard’s line quite appealing.
Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams WR: Higher than 65.5 receiving yards
Kupp has enjoyed double-digit targets in 3 of his last 4 outings, including 2 games with over 100 receiving yards. The Rams get a favorable matchup against the New Orleans passing defense, and I like Kupp to clear 66.
Adam Spencer
Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings WR: Higher than 80.5 receiving yards
The Vikings are trying to stay within striking distance of the Detroit Lions in the NFC North. The Arizona Cardinals are fighting to stay in the NFC West race. This should be a fast-paced, intense game. So I’ll take Jefferson, the best player on the field, to shine. I think he’ll go for 81+ yards on Sunday.
Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders QB: Higher than 35.5 rush yards
Daniels looked like himself last week against the Cowboys when it came to running the ball. He’d been dealing with a rib injury, but now he looks healthy and back to his old self. That means he should be good to run more against Tennessee. Give me the star rookie to scamper for 36+ yards.
