Early Ohio State vs Notre Dame Player Props to Target for National Title Game

• Online sportsbooks have released player props for the National Championship Game between Ohio State and Notre Dame
• The Buckeyes defense led the nation in yards per carry allowed
• See below for the top player props to target for the National Championship Game

Ohio State and Notre Dame clash in Monday’s National Championship Game, marking the culmination of the first ever 12-team College Football Playoff.

The Buckeyes, led by Will Howard, Jeremiah Smith and TreVeyon Henderson among others, have yet to truly be tested in the Playoff, and oddsmakers aren’t expecting much of a fight from the Irish.

OSU is currently an 8-point favorite, and we can use that line to help build our Ohio State vs Notre Dame player props card. Oddsmakers expect the Irish to be playing from behind, which could seriously impact Jeremiah Love’s workload.

Ohio State vs Notre Dame Rushing Props – Jeremiah Love Attempts

There’s a lot working against Love in this matchup. For starters, he’s banged up. He suffered a knee injury in the regular season finale, and then aggravated it in the quarterfinal. Love played through pain in the semis, but underwhelmed with only 45 rushing yards.

That came on 11 attempts, marking the first time he’s exceeded 8 carries all Playoff. Notre Dame was locked in a tight game with Penn State throughout the semifinal, but that likely won’t be the case versus OSU.

Ohio State fans witness the growing pains of this OL having to figure out a competent starting unit after injuries. Notre Dame potentially losing two OL starters before a National Championship game against this Ohio State Defensive Line is going to be tough sledding.

To make matters worse, the Irish’s o-line has been hit hard by injuries. That’s a recipe for disaster against the Buckeyes, who lead the nation in yards per carry allowed. Their front is the most destructive in college football, and so far they’ve yielded the lowest success rate in the postseason.

• Ohio State vs Notre Dame Player Prop Pick: Jeremiah Love Under 9.5 Rushing Attempts (-125 at Caesars); risk 1 unit

Ohio State vs Notre Dame Rushing Props – TreVeyon Henderson Attempts

On the other side of the football, TreVeyon Henderson is the Buckeyes most dynamic threat, capable of housing a run or reception from anywhere on the field. Henderson is averaging 7.3 yards per carry this season, but isn’t accustom to heavy workloads.

He’s carried the ball fewer than 11 times in all but two games this season. As heavy favorites, we should expect Henderson to get his share of touches, but he won’t be used as a feature back.

He’ll split duties with Judkins, and the latter will be used more prominently on the ground to ice the game.

• Ohio State vs Notre Dame Player Prop Pick: TreVeyon Henderson Under 10.5 Rushing Attempts (-135 at MGM); risk 1 unit

Ohio State vs Notre Dame TD Props – Quinshon Judkins Anytime TD

As a result, targeting Judkins to find the end zone is a prudent wager. He’s scored four times already in the postseason, including twice in the semis.

Not only is the Irish dealing with significant o-line injuries, but their d-line is hurting as well. Most notable is the injury to Rylie Mills, who leads the team in tackles for loss.

OSU has a major advantage over Notre Dame in the trenches and we should expect bully ball from the Buckeyes with Judkins leading the way. That was Penn State’s plan, and they rode that strategy to 204 rushing yards and 3 TD on the ground.

• Ohio State vs Notre Dame Player Prop Pick: Quinshon Judkins anytime touchdown (-130 at MGM); risk 1 unit
