Indiana vs. Notre Dame Best Total Bet: Over 10.5 Points Scored First Quarter (+105)
Getting plus odds for 10.5 points in the first quarter is too good to pass up. Both teams have scored over 100 points in the first quarters of games this season. The offenses usually have success early before the defense can adjust. Both should get on the board in the opening frame.
Indiana Best Player Bet: Ty Son Lawton Anytime Touchdown (+125)
Ty Son Lawton leads the Hoosiers with 12 total touchdowns. He has reached pay dirt in nine of the Hoosiers’ 12 games this season and has the power and elusiveness needed to break through Notre Dame’s defense.
Notre Dame Best Player Bet: Jeremiyah Love First TD Scorer (+340)
There has been a lot of talk about how the Notre Dame rushing attack is going to carve up the Hoosier defense. The tip of the spear of that attack is running back Jeremiyah Love, who has scored 17 touchdowns on the year. There were some questions about his availability after he injured a knee against USC, but all the signs point to him playing.
