Ohio State takes on Notre Dame in Atlanta on Monday night in the 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship.
The betting market doesn’t think it’ll necessarily be a close game, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t value on a few individual player numbers.
Ohio State enters as a -8.5 favorite with the over/under sitting at 45.5.

[subheader text=”Jeremiyah Love More Than 41.5 Rushing Yards” subtext=”” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/ncaaf/100/nd.png” trailinglogourl=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/113574_prizepicks1.png” trailinglink=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/online-sports-betting/reviews/prizepicks” trailinglinkfollow=”false”][/subheader]
I wavered a bit on whether I should write up this pick or not, as Love’s knee injury is obviously the big question mark. I ultimately decided on pulling the trigger, largely because I think there’s a chance this line moves towards 50-plus yards.
Despite the injury, Love still looked stable against Penn State and handled 55% of Notre Dame’s running back carries. The longer layoff between games, at the very least, shouldn’t hurt Love’s health.
The matchup is clearly not a good one, but I think there’s a chance we see Love more involved than expected, which would make this an easy over.
This is a very low number that he has gone over in 11 of 15 games this season, and I’ll back it to happen again.
Pick: Love More Than 41.5 Rushing Yards

[subheader text=”Beaux Collins Less Than 12.5 Receiving Yards” subtext=”” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/ncaaf/100/nd.png” trailinglogourl=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/113574_prizepicks1.png” trailinglink=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/online-sports-betting/reviews/prizepicks” trailinglinkfollow=”false”][/subheader]
It’s possible this bet ends up voiding, but it seems to be flying under the radar a bit that Collins is dealing with a calf strain.
He played only seven offensive snaps against Penn State, and if he’s able to suit up against Ohio State, it’s reasonable to think he could be limited.
Jayden Thomas was the primary beneficiary of Collins’ reduced role, and it’s worth keeping an eye out for Thomas’ props to see if they open too low.
Pick: Collins Less Than 12.5 Receiving Yards

[subheader text=”Jayden Thomas Anytime Touchdown Scorer” subtext=”” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/ncaaf/100/nd.png” trailinglogourl=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/113574_prizepicks1.png” trailinglink=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/online-sports-betting/reviews/prizepicks” trailinglinkfollow=”false”][/subheader]
Thomas was the primary beneficiary of Beaux Collins’ reduced role against Penn State. Collins is dealing with a strained calf and could be limited for the National Championship game.
Against Penn State, Thomas ran the second-most routes on the team with a 77.5% (31-of-40) route participation.
Make sure you shop around for the longest odds on this, as some of the lines have already started to move.
Pick: Thomas Anytime Touchdown Scorer
