Ohio State-Georgia Player Props
C.J. Stroud: UNDER 279.5 Pass Yards
Throughout the season, the Ohio State Buckeyes have had an electric offense and C.J. Stroud has been a major reason why they are once again back competing for a National Championship. Stroud has been sensational for the Buckeyes this season as he has thrown for 3,340 yards through the air while throwing to one of the best receiving corps in the country.
Ohio State can win the game if they get their playmakers involved, but Georgia has an elite defense and the Buckeyes have their work cut out for them. Georgia has given up only 223.9 pass yards per game which is significantly less than what the Buckeyes are used to seeing out of Stroud on a Saturday. While Stroud is projected 256.93 yards through the air by OddsShopper on Saturday, look at the under of 279.5 yards from the Buckeyes quarterback as Ohio State will be in for their toughest test of the season.
Ohio State-Georgia Player Props: Emeka Egbuka OVER 71.5 Receiving Yards
The Ohio State Buckeyes have arguably the best receiver room in the country, and it makes lighting up the scoreboard easy. While Ohio State has had success scoring, the depth at the receiver position has made the job of the team as a whole much easier. Emeka Egbuka has been one major reason why Ohio State has had such a dominant group of receivers.
Early season injury struggles from Jaxon Smith-Njigba caused the Buckeyes to need more production from others and Egbuka answered the call. The sophomore has caught 66 passes for 1,039 yards on the year and he will need his best game of the season against this Georgia defense.
Emeka Egbuka is projected 73.75 receiving yards so look towards the over of 71.5 yards from him as the Buckeyes will need production out of this group on Saturday night. The Buckeyes will have to find some success on the ground, and if they do then this talented group of receivers will be put in a great position to make plays.
Ohio State-Georgia Bets – Brock Bowers OVER 58.5 Receiving Yards
The talk all year has been about the Ohio State receivers, but you can make the same argument about the group of Georgia tight ends. This team has two incredibly talented athletes and Brock Bowers leads the way as one of the best overall football players in the entire country.
His size and his ability to run has been a nightmare for opposing defenses since he stepped on campus in Athens and Ohio State will be in for a tough task as they look to slow down the dominance of Bowers. It is not too often that you hear tight ends in the discussion for a Heisman trophy, but you get that with Bowers.
The tight end is projected 63.92 receiving yards on a night where Georgia will look to threaten the Buckeyes in both the pass and run game so look towards the over of 58.5 receiving yards from Brock Bowers. This Georgia team looks primed to repeat as National Champions and they have the weapons on offense to do so.
