BetMGM promos for Ohio State vs Notre Dame
20% odds boost for one OSU/ND bet
- Any bet type
- Minimum total odds: -300
- Max bet limits apply
Recommended bet
-Riley Leonard Over 0.5 passing touchdowns
-175 BOOSTED to -146
Despite not being a pass-heavy offense, Leonard does have at least one passing touchdown in 11 of his last 12 games, including all three CFP matchups. Other books are posting this in the -200 range (some as high as -224), so we're already getting the best number available, but tacking 20% on here gives us an additional 30 cents of value.
Notre Dame +10.5 + Under 50.5
+165 BOOSTED to +200
Recommendation: Bet
The consensus spread is 8.5 across the board, so we're gaining two points here (and crossing the key number of 10) for the first half of this boost, while the total is 45.5 at most outlets, giving us an additional six points to play with.
Conventional wisdom is that a larger underdog usually covers in a lower-scoring game, and with the other major books on this list are offering +125 to +146 for this combo — getting it at 2/1 represents a significant value over the next-best operator.
DraftKings promo for Ohio State vs Notre Dame
50% odds boost for one OSU/ND bet
- Any bet type
- Minimum total odds: +100
- Max betting limits apply
- Opt-in to activate
Recommended bet
-TreVeyon Henderson 50+ rush yards
-Jeremiyah Love 40+ rush yards
+180 BOOSTED to +270
Following the advice of colleague Andrew Caley in his Ohio State vs. Notre Dame prediction, Henderson should benefit from all the attention Notre Dame will put on slowing down the pass, while I'm also leaning on the Irish's star RB to help take the pressure off QB Riley Leonard.
Due to the +100 minimum, no straight single prop showed value, but DraftKings is the only sportsbook on this list that is both offering the best price on this SGP AND a 50% boost for a 2-leg bet, giving us the best price available for two star running backs to hit just below their posted rushing totals.
FanDuel promo for Ohio State vs Notre Dame
30% odds boost for one OSU/ND bet
- Any bet type
- Minimum total odds: +100
- Max betting limits apply
- Opt-in to activate
Recommended bet
-Fourth quarter Over 10.5 points
-106 BOOSTED to +127
If you think there will be some offense in the final 15 minutes, the only place to bet it is FanDuel, which is offering a total of just 10.5 points. That is roughly a field goal lower than other books, which are posting it at 13/13.5 points.
In addition to getting a big edge in the number, the lower vig makes the 30% boost turning this into a plus-money play.
It's worth noting there are a few anytime touchdown props you could also use here, as both Ohio State RBs — Henderson and Quinshon Judkins — sit at +105 and -105, which are both as much as 60 cents better than other outlets, and a 30% boost would make them the best price on the market.
bet365 promo for Ohio State vs Notre Dame
50% boost for one OSU/ND SGP
- Same-game parlay only
- Minimum legs: 3
- Minimum total odds: +100
- Max betting limits apply
Recommended bet
-Will Howard to throw an interception
-Will Howard Under 30.5 pass attempts
-Aneyas Williams Over 2.5 receptions
+850 BOOSTED to +1275
These markets all have the best individual number at bet365, as a Howard interception is around -130 elsewhere (and -115 at 365), his pass attempts total is 29.5 at other outlets, and Williams' reception prop is currently only available at bet365.
This SGP also has a bit of a narrative: Howard shouldn't have to throw a ton as his Buckeyes at nearly a double-digit favorite (but he does have at least 2-3 very bad throws a game, with a pick in four of his last five) and Williams, who has emerged as a key passing-down RB for the Irish, could get extra work if Notre Dame is forced to chase points.
Finally, there's also a little bit of negative correlation (Under pass attempts + an INT) and bet365 is the only outlet on this list that includes Under passing attempts in a parlay.
Caesars promo for Ohio State vs Notre Dame
30% boost for one OSU/ND live bet
- Any bet type (after the game begins)
- Minimum total odds: -200
- Max betting limits apply
- Opt-in to activate
Recommended bet: Wait and see!
As with any live betting boost, the general strategy should be:
- Is the spread/total off because of some fluky/anomalous stuff happening? Bet on things to correct themselves.
- Is a star player being underused (or had bad luck) and their prop totals plummeted? Jump on that newfound value.
- Is there a market you really like pre-game and just want more value? Bet it immediately after kickoff.
I'm personally going to look at the receiving yardage totals for Beaux Collins or Jordan Faison (both of which are currently lowest at Caesars), but use your intuition and feel for the game's progress to make what you feel is the best decision.
