Where to Watch Ohio State vs Notre Dame

• Spread: Buckeyes -8.5 | Moneyline: Buckeyes -375 | Total: 46.5

Leg 1: Buckeyes Alternate Spread -3.5 (-225)

Let’s face it: few could have predicted Ohio State making a push to the national championship after their regular-season finale, where Michigan dominated them at the line of scrimmage. The Buckeyes had two primary goals coming into the year: take down Michigan and claim a national title. While the first goal slipped through their fingers, the second remains well within reach. The Buckeyes have looked unstoppable in the playoffs, cruising past Tennessee, Oregon, and Texas with a combined score of 111-52. Teasing the spread down to -3.5 gives us extra confidence in this leg.

On the flip side, Notre Dame has had a similarly surprising path to the title game after a tough early-season loss to Northern Illinois. Despite long odds, they’ve clawed their way through Indiana, Georgia, and Penn State. However, their championship hopes will falter due to struggles generating offense downfield. Ohio State’s elite secondary and dominant defensive line create a significant mismatch, making it challenging for the Fighting Irish to sustain drives. With the Buckeyes’ arsenal of offensive playmakers and a defense built to smother opponents, they should cover this adjusted spread and secure the title, likely in convincing fashion.

Leg 2: TreVeyon Henderson Anytime Touchdown (+105)

TreVeyon Henderson is set to suit up for his final collegiate game, and you can bet he’ll bring his A-game. The value here is hard to overlook for a player who has consistently been one of the most dynamic running backs in the postseason. Henderson has demonstrated an impressive ability to break off explosive runs and make plays in the passing game, where his speed and agility create mismatches against linebackers and safeties. His versatility and knack for finding the end zone make this a compelling leg for the parlay.

Leg 3: Quinshon Judkins 40+ Rushing Yards (-250)

Instead of taking the over at 57.5 rushing yards, we’re opting for Judkins’ alternate line of 40+ yards to provide some cushion for the overall parlay. Notre Dame’s defense has been hampered by key injuries, including the extended absence of lineman Rylie Mills due to a knee injury. This opens the door for Buckeyes running back Quinshon Judkins to capitalize on the ground game. Judkins has been a workhorse in recent matchups, logging 36 carries compared to TreVeyon Henderson’s 24, showcasing his potential to deliver a strong rushing performance.

Leg 4: Riley Leonard Over 178.5 Passing Yards (-114)

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish‘s path to victory in the National Championship hinges on their ability to overcome the Ohio State Buckeyes‘ stout defense. For that to happen, Riley Leonard must deliver an exceptional performance. Leonard has been one of the nation’s top dual-threat quarterbacks, showcasing his rushing prowess throughout the season. Recently, though, he’s stepped up as a passer, throwing for over 200 yards in two of three playoff games—a feat he achieved just four times during the regular season. As +8.5 underdogs, the Fighting Irish will likely lean heavily on their aerial attack to stay competitive. This makes it highly plausible for Leonard to continue his late-season momentum and surpass 178.5 passing yards.
