Jeremiyah Love +145
College Football National Championship Betting Trends: Ohio State vs Notre Dame

Still, as good as Riley Leonard has been, the Fighting Irish wouldn't be in the National Championship without Jeremiyah Love. Notre Dame's premier running back has been on a similar late-season kick and should be deployed frequently against Ohio State.

Love has been a scoring machine this season. His 17 touchdowns led the team, and he's found the endzone in all but one game this season. But Love's ceiling isn't just attached to his rushing prowess. The sophomore can fulfill a three-down role and has recorded a catch in every game this season. His two receiving touchdowns haven't been a huge boon, but it does offer additional upside against the Buckeyes.

Love has a prime opportunity to maintain his scoring trend on the biggest stage. At the current price, he's worth the investment to find the endzone.

Quinshon Judkins -105

While often credited with spectacular defense, the Ohio State Buckeyes' path to the National Championship wouldn't have been possible without their dynamic offense. Included in that is the running back duo featuring Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson. It can be challenging to account for the work distribution, but we like Judkins's chances of crossing the plane against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Judkins has the heftier workload out of the Buckeyes' backfield. The junior has out-paced Henderson by over 50 rushing attempts, resulting in two more touchdowns than his Ohio State counterpart. Moreover, Judkins has been the more frequently used running back in the postseason, accumulating 36 carries through the first three playoff games.

We're forecasting another robust effort from Judkins and have him out in front in the anytime touchdown market.

Spread: Ohio State -8.5 | Moneyline: OSU -375 | ND +290 | Total: 45.5
TreVeyon Henderson +100
Ohio State vs. Notre Dame Best Bets

Nevertheless, we're also high on TreVeyon Henderson's chances of scoring against the Irish. While he has a slightly reduced workload, Henderson has been Ohio State's more efficient runner.

The senior has been unstoppable in the postseason. While Henderson only has 24 rushing attempts, he's churned out 216 rushing yards and four touchdowns. That puts him at 9.0 yards per carry over the three-game sample, with an absurd touchdown rate of 16.7%.

We also can't dismiss Henderson's scoring potential in the passing game, adding another layer of insurance to his +100 price tag. Arguably, Henderson's outlook is more promising than that of Judkins.
Mitchell Evans +330

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish continue to rely on their ground game to get the ball moving. However, Mitchell Evans represents Notre Dame's best shot at finding the endzone with its passing attack.

His price doesn't reflect it, but Evans has been on an upward trajectory lately. The hulking tight end has increased his receptions and yardage in five straight games, culminating with a five-catch, 58-yard performance in the Orange Bowl. We saw his importance, receiving a game-high nine targets in the win.

Evans hasn't found the endzone since the regular season finale, but we like his chances of getting off the schneid against the Buckeyes.
Riley Leonard +160

Riley Leonard is Notre Dame's offensive catalyst. The dual-threat quarterback has used his legs all season, with his liberal rushing standard showing no signs of tapering off in the College Football Playoff.

Leonard has been one of the most prolific scorers in the country. His 16 touchdowns are tied for the 15th-most in college football, ranking Leonard sixth among quarterbacks. Further, Leonard has seen an increase in volume over the campaign's latter stages. The senior averaged 13.8 rushing attempts over his last four games, finding the endzone in three of those four contests.

For Notre Dame to have a chance at taking down the mighty Buckeyes, Leonard will need to be mobile. We fully believe in his abilities and expect Leonard to cash in as an anytime touchdown scorer.
