4 Top Prop Bets for Notre Dame vs Penn State
1. Notre Dame QB Riley Leonard to Score a Touchdown
Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard’s legs have been a major part of the Irish’s offense. With running back Jeremiyah Love battling an injury, we could see Notre Dame utilize Leonard’s rushing ability even more versus Penn State.

Leonard has already notched 15 rushing touchdowns this season, more than most running backs. The quarterback has a rushing TD in two of his last three games. Bet online on Leonard to find the end zone versus Penn State.
Bet On This Prop Pick: Riley Leonard Anytime Touchdown (-125)
2. Penn State QB Drew Allar Over 10.5 Rushing Yards
Unlike Leonard, Drew Allar’s rushing attempts have varied from game to game. My sense is Penn State may need the quarterback to utilize his legs more against a solid Notre Dame pass rush.
Allar has reached 10 or more rushing yards in three of his last four outings. Snag the over on Allar’s rushing yards at the BetUS Sportsbook.
3. Notre Dame QB Riley Leonard Over 0.5 Passing Touchdowns
For Notre Dame to advance to the national championship game, the Irish are going to need more from Leonard than just his rushing ability. Leonard is unlikely to throw for 300 passing yards, but the quarterback is still capable of winning from the pocket.
Per Notre Dame vs Penn State stats, Leonard has thrown at least one touchdown in seven straight games. Leonard’s passing touchdown props is set at 0.5. Take the over on Leonard’s passing TDs.
4. Penn State TE Tyler Warren Over 5.5 Receptions
Penn State lacks offensive weapons, but Tyler Warren makes up for it by being one of the top tight ends in college football. There’s a few ways to approach the college football prop bets for Warren, but the playmaker’s receptions offer the lowest risk.

Warren has notched six or more catches in six of his last seven outings. The NCAA football lines have Warren’s reception number set at a reasonable 5.5 catches.
Bet On This Prop Pick: TE Tyler Warren Over 0.5 Receptions (-170)
