Oregon vs Indiana Props – Best Player Props to Bet for Peach Bowl

• Oregon faces Indiana in the Peach Bowl CFP semifinal
• The Hoosiers rank third in rush defense rating this season
• See below for the available Oregon vs Indiana props, plus the best player prop bets for the Peach Bowl

With all due respect to Miami, the Oregon vs Indiana Peach Bowl showdown tonight is the defacto National Championship Game. These two programs grade out superior to the Hurricanes in nearly every metric except pass rush, setting up a can’t-miss matchup in the CFP semifinal.

Oregon was unable to penetrate the Hoosiers run defense in their first meeting earlier this season, and I expect a similar outcome tonight. I’m fading the Ducks running game in my Oregon vs Indiana props, while also forecasting less success than usual for Fernando Mendoza.

Below you’ll find a table of all the Oregon vs Indiana player prop bets currently available in the college football odds, plus my favorite o/u’s to target in the Peach Bowl.

Oregon vs Indiana Player Props

My best player prop bets card starts with under 53.5 rushing yards for the Ducks Noah Whittington. I’m also betting under 1.5 TD passes for Mendoza, and an anytime TD for Indiana RB Kaelon Black.

Oregon vs Indiana Player Props Bet #1: Noah Whittington Rushing Yards

• Noah Whittington Under 53.5 Rushing Yards (-114 at FanDuel)

Oregon lead back Jordan Davidson broke his clavicle and will miss tonight’s game, meaning more of the rushing volume will fall on Whittington’s plate. More volume equals more opportunity, but even if you guaranteed me 20 Whittington carries I’d still take under 53.5 rushing yards.

Indiana Run Defense Stats

That’s because the Hoosiers run defense is elite. They boast the third-highest rating against the run in the nation, while also ranking third in rushing yards surrendered, and eighth in yards per carry allowed.

They succeed against all types of run schemes as well, posting a success rate of 57% or better against zone and gap concepts. Indiana is also the top defense when it comes to creating havoc, and is the third best tackling team according to PFF.

As for Whittington, he hasn’t cleared 47 rushing yards in three straight games, and was limited to only 2.4 yards per carry on 13 attempts last week versus Texas Tech.

Oregon vs Indiana Player Props Bet #2: Fernando Mendoza TD Passes

• Fernando Mendoza Under 1.5 TD Passes (+108 at FanDuel)

On to Mendoza, who’s a major reason why the Hoosiers are the favorites in the CFP National Championship odds. The projected first overall pick put up big touchdown numbers versus Alabama last time out, but production through the air will be much tougher to come by against this Oregon secondary.

The Ducks rank sixth in coverage grade per PFF and 10th in contested catch rate. They’re fifth in early success rate allowed through the air, and are the only team that Mendoza faced this season that didn’t yield at least one big-time throw to him. In that matchup, Mendoza threw only 1 TD and completed just 64.5% of his passes, one of his lowest marks of the season.

Oregon doesn’t allow explosives through the air and rarely yield red zone opportunities. Opposing teams averaged just 2.2 trips inside the Ducks 20-yard line per game, making touchdown throws very difficult to come by.

Oregon vs Indiana Player Props Bet #3: Kaelon Black Anytime TD

• Kaelon Black Anytime TD (+130 at FanDuel)

As for Black, he and Roman Hembly are operating out of a true committee in the Hoosiers backfield, and I’d argue Black has the higher touchdown upside. He’s scored four times in the last five games, compared to only 2 TD for Hembly, and as the bigger RB, Black is more likely to be deployed in short yardage and goal line situations.

The Oregon defense, meanwhile, doesn’t allow explosive runs but grades out just average versus zone and gap blocking schemes. Black excels in the ladder concept and has seen 31 carries through two playoff games so far. That’s the same amount as Hembly, but we’ll take Black at the more favorable anytime TD price.
