3 Notre Dame vs Ohio State Prop Picks to Bet on Jan 20
1. Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+110)
Notre Dame has one of the best cornerbacks in the country in Benjamin Morrison and he figures to match up with Ohio State’s all-everything freshman receiver Jeremiah Smith. That could free up Emeka Egbuka to go up against freshman Leonard Moore.
Smith’s presence has led to Egbuka being overlooked a bit this season. However, he comes into the national title game with 10 touchdown catches.
Egbuka has a touchdown catch in four of Ohio State’s six games against ranked teams. When making Notre Dame vs Ohio State best bets, go with Egbuka at +110 to be an anytime touchdown scorer.
Bet On Emeka Egbuka as Anytime TD Scorer (+110)
2. Notre Dame TE Mitchell Evans Over 3.5 Receptions (+100)
The Notre Dame passing game is far from elite with Riley Leonard often being more of a threat running the ball than dropping back to pass and that has impacted the numbers for the top pass catchers.
Nine Notre Dame players head into the game with Ohio State with anywhere from 18-39 catches with Jaden Greathouse leading the Fighting Irish with 464 receiving yards.
Ohio State did a solid job against Texas tight end Gunnar Helm in the College Football Playoff semifinals and held Penn State’s star tight end Tyler Warren to four catches during the regular season.

Mitchell Evans was pretty quiet with five catches for 39 yards in the first two College Football Playoff games before matching his season-high with five receptions in the win over Penn State.
A college football player prop to consider is for Evans to go over 3.5 catches.
Bet On Mitchell Evans 3.5+ Receptions (+100)
3. Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson 70+ Rushing Yards (+122)
Notre Dame has better numbers when running the ball than Ohio State, especially against ranked teams. However, there are some injury concerns surrounding Fighting Irish running back Jeremiah Love.
Ohio State’s TreVeyon Henderson averaged seven yards per carry in the semifinal win over Texas. However, he carried the ball just six times. Henderson did have a crucial 75-yard touchdown catch.

Notre Dame ranks outside the top 40 nationally in rushing offense, allowing 133 yards per game.
The Buckeyes would prefer not to put it on the shoulders of quarterback Will Howard against a talented Notre Dame secondary.
Those who bet online might want to consider the +122 odds for Henderson to have 70+ rushing yards.
