Easter Egg:
Iowa RB Akrum Wadley: Starting ball carrier this week against Maryland, and two weeks ago, bludgeoned Northwestern for 204 yards and 4 touchdowns. Terrapins rank 73rd in the FBS against the run, allowing over 175 yards per game, and have surrendered 15 rushing touchdowns.
DraftKings $5,700 and FanDuel $6,800
Bold Prediction:
UCLA QB Josh Rosen: Against Colorado at home, the freshman passes for over 350 yards and three touchdowns. Rosen, making huge leaps in performance and productivity, and the Bruins are a 21-point favorite with an O/U 63 in the contest.
DraftKings $7,600 and FanDuel $8,700
