- Spread: Ohio State -14
- Total: 49.5
There should be plenty of offense to go around in this one, meaning there is some significant value on the different touchdown scoring odds boards on college football prop betting sites for the major players in the game.
Jeremiah Smith Gets Going Early
Ohio State First TD Scorer: Jeremiah Smith
- Yes +350
This is a prime spot to get in on Jeremiah Smith to get the scoring going for Ohio State in Week 7. He gets a juicy matchup against an Illinois secondary that allows the most passing/receiving yards per game at 252.3 ypg.
Also, with a two touchdown margin on the spread, we expect the Buckeyes to get things going early, and what better way to do so than with arguably the best receiver in college football today.
Smith has been the first touchdown scorer for Ohio State once this season. He’s also scored three total first half touchdowns on the year as well.
Hank Beatty Continues To Be Go To Scoring Option
Hank Beatty To Score A Touchdown
- Yes +160
Hank Beatty has been the focal point of this Illini offense as he is responsible for four total touchdowns and at all levels of the offense, including receiving, rushing, and passing. That includes two receiving, one rushing, and one passing TD.
Beatty has also scored from all over the field this season, including a 25-yard touchdown run in Week 2, 6-yard touchdown catch in Week 3, a 3-yard touchdown pass to Luke Altmyer in Week 5, and, most recently, in Week 6, a deep 62-yard TD catch.
Bo Jackson Breaks Out For 2+ TDs
Player To Score 2+ Touchdowns: Bo Jackson
- Yes +260
This could be the breakout game that we’ve been waiting for, true freshman running back Bo Jackson, and that could come with multiple scores in this one against a weak Illinois run defense.
Not only is Illinois a bottom-six run defense in the conference, allowing 135.5 rush yards per game, but they’ve allowed a massive eight rushing touchdowns in just their last three games, which all came against conference opponents. That includes 2+ touchdowns scored by the same player in two of those games.
Between the amount of rushing yards allowed and their holes in the red zone, Bo Jackson is primed for a multi-score day.
