• Miami brings an unbeaten, high-scoring offense into Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday night
• Notre Dame’s backfield faces one of the stingiest run defenses in the country
• Read below for my top Miami vs Notre Dame player props for Week 10

---

Week 10 delivers a marquee matchup on Saturday, November 7 at 7:30pm ET, as the undefeated Miami (FL) Hurricanes (8-0) travel to Notre Dame Stadium to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (7-1). The quarterback and running back matchups make this one worth a closer look on the prop board.

Miami is averaging a ridiculous 47.6 points per game, spearheaded by quarterback Darian Mensah’s near-flawless execution. Meanwhile, Notre Dame’s offense is powered by a sturdy backfield and the reliable pocket presence of CJ Carr.

Below are my Miami vs Notre Dame prop picks, with passing, rushing and touchdown markets from Friday’s BetMGM board. The matchup notes help explain where I’m willing to bet beyond the spread.

Darian Mensah Passing Prop: Miami vs Notre Dame Pick

• Pick: Darian Mensah 250+ Passing Yards (+160 at BetMGM)

My Miami vs Notre Dame passing prop starts with Mensah’s efficiency. Overall, he boasts an 80.7% completion percentage (188-for-233) with 2,429 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and just one interception.

His response to the blitz is the strongest part of my case. Sending extra rushers has done little to disrupt his accuracy, and he has produced against standard rushes too.

When defenses send extra rushers, Mensah has completed 66 of 73 attempts for 890 yards, 17 TDs and zero picks. Even when teams back off, he has piled up 1,539 yards, giving me a reason to back him against different defensive approaches.

Miami will be without wide receiver Malachi Toney, who is out four to six weeks with an ankle injury, according to a Nov. 6 Local 10 report. Still, getting +160 on a quarterback averaging 303.6 passing yards per game to reach 250 is tremendous plus-money value.

Mark Fletcher Touchdown Pick for Miami at Notre Dame

• Pick: Mark Fletcher Anytime Touchdown (-105 at BetMGM)

Fletcher is my Miami vs Notre Dame touchdown pick. The bruising back has already logged nine rushing touchdowns on the year, and Local 10 reported he found the end zone three times in Miami’s last game against North Carolina.

Javian Mallory has seven rushing scores of his own, so Fletcher does have company in the backfield. Even so, at -105, you aren’t paying an exorbitant price to back a runner who keeps finding paydirt.

Nolan James Rushing Prop: Miami vs Notre Dame Week 10

• Pick: Nolan James 75+ Rushing Yards (-143 at BetMGM)

James is my rushing-yardage selection among these Week 10 Miami vs Notre Dame props. Through eight games, he has 519 rushing yards, 105 receiving yards and 11 scrimmage touchdowns.

That works out to 64.9 rushing yards per game, so this pick needs an above-average outing. Yes, the Miami run defense is a brick wall, allowing just 60.8 rushing yards per game compared to 85.4 for Notre Dame.

My read is that his role and a competitive game script get him to 75. CJ Carr (18 TD, 1 INT, 17-3 in career starts) keeps the Irish offense balanced, which should keep James involved if Notre Dame stays within a score.
