Notre Dame vs Miami Prop #1: Beck Passing Yards

Beck was one of college football’s “it” guys heading into 2024, pegged as one of the best QB’s in the nation and projected as a Top-5 pick in the NFL Draft.

He didn’t meet the hype, and everything compounded with an elbow injury in the SEC title game against Texas.

The transfer to Miami might be the best thing to happen to him and to again showcase his skills.

The ‘Canes are pass happy, ranking Top 15 in pass attempts last season, third in yards per attempts and first in yards per completion and TD tosses.

Those were all numbers with Ward under center, but if Beck’s talent is anywhere near that, he should cruise past Sunday’s total. Last year, Ward cleared 240 yards passing in 11 of 12 regular season games.

• Pick: Beck OVER 239.5 passing yards (-114 at FanDuel)

Notre Dame vs Miami Prop #2: Love Rushing Yards

As much as Miami loves to chuck it, Notre Dame love to run it. The Irish were Top 20 in the nation, rushing for better than 200 yards per game on a healthy 5.66 yards per tote.

Love was the centerpiece of that attack, rushing for 1,125 yards and 17 touchdowns. He had five 100+ yard rushing games last season, and three of those were against ranked teams.

Miami was stout last year against the run, allowing just 3.75 yards per carry.

But Notre Dame will consistently pound the rock, and Love should be able to put together a big game against the ‘Canes He showed last year that he doesn’t need much to hit a home run for the Irish.

• Pick: Love OVER 79.5 rush yards (+114 at FanDuel)

Notre Dame vs Miami Touchdown Props

Odds as of Aug 31 at DraftKings.

Switching to the touchdown props market, and the lead running backs for both schools are the only players with minus odds to touch paydirt.

Notre Dame vs Miami Prop #3: Love First TD scorer

We know Love is going to be heavily featured, and he scored at least a TD in every game in the regular season in 2024.

But rather than take the anytime TD with no juice, let’s take a flier on him punching it in first on Sunday. It happened four times last year.

• Pick: Love First TD (+450 at DraftKings)
