Best Ohio State vs. Notre Dame touchdown picks
Jeremiyah Love anytime touchdown scorer ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +140 via BetMGM | Implied probability: 41.67%
Love has continued to impact games in a big way throughout Notre Dame's playoff run. Even though an injury has limited the sophomore to just 25 carries across three games, he's made his presence known with 173 yards and a pair of scores.
Love has already found the end zone against two top-10 run-stoppers in the playoff, Indiana (No. 2) and Penn State (No. 8), so Ohio State's No. 3 rush defense doesn't scare us off this selection. He's also the only consistent and reliable touchdown threat in the Fighting Irish's ranks.
Love has only failed to score in one game this season when he was given just six carries against Georgia. He's cashed his anytime touchdown scorer prop at a 93.33% clip, so there's certainly value to be had in the national title with BetMGM listing him at plus money.

Jeremiah Smith anytime touchdown scorer ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -135 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 57.45%
If we had a nickel for every time we predicted someone with the same first name to score in the national championship, we'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Smith was held to just three yards on a lone reception against Texas as the Longhorns went out of their way to keep the superstar wideout at bay. This comes after the freshman posted 290 yards and four touchdowns against Oregon and Tennessee.
The last time he was kept quiet (vs. Michigan), offensive coordinator Chip Kelly made it a point to get him involved early and often in the following games. We're banking on the same happening in Atlanta.
Smith has the speed to take the top off even the most disciplined defenses, as shown by his 14 touchdowns this season. Even with juiced odds at our best sports betting sites, we're comfortable picking the big-play freshman receiver to find pay dirt.
A $10 winning wager on Smith would return $7.41 in profits.

TreVeyon Henderson anytime touchdown scorer ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +105 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 48.78%
Attempting to pick the correct anytime touchdown scorer in Ohio State's backfield can often feel like shooting fish in a barrel from 100 yards away ... with a Nerf gun.
Quinshon Judkins and Henderson have 13 and 11 total touchdowns, respectively, so it's no surprise to see both with relatively short anytime touchdown odds in the national championship. The latter has been the marginally hotter hand as of late with five touchdowns to Judkins' four throughout the College Football Playoff.
Yet, Henderson's listed at plus money (+105 with FanDuel), whereas Judkins' odds are juiced. Few players —if any—have epitomized what it means to play for Ohio State more than Henderson in recent years. As such, we expect Ryan Day and Co. to get the senior a few extra touches in the red zone during his last game in the Scarlet and Gray.
