Ft. Lauderdale, Florida— In the wonderful land of odds, there are a few intriguing props for tonight’s Orange Bowl/College Football Playoff semifinal between Penn State and Notre Dame.
It isn’t often that player props available for college football games— the NFL is a different story— but the College Football Playoff is an exception.
So, yes, there are props for Penn State-Notre Dame. In more traditional betting news, Notre Dame is a slight favorite at -1.5. This marks the third time Penn State has been an underdog this season, with the first two being its losses to Ohio State and Oregon.
Here are three intriguing prop bets for Penn State-Notre Dame, with odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.
NO. 1: TYLER WARREN’S YARDS (65.5)

63.5 is the total amount of yards Warren must meet to satisfy those who bet on him. The John Mackey Award winner has exceeded 65 yards in six of Penn State’s 15 games, so it’s a toss up. Warren was right at the line in the team’s Fiesta Bowl/College Football Playoff quarterfinal win over Boise State New Year’s Eve night. He also caught two touchdown passes, which is why he was the game’s offensive MVP. Warren was quiet in Penn State’s 38-10 first-round win over SMU, catching four passes for 33 yards. But he had 224 yards against USC, so, yeah, he’s capable. FanDuel has him at -114 to go over.

The over/under for this game is set at a relatively low 45.5. Vegas likes the under to hit at -120. This speaks to how good each team is defensively. Notre Dame has the No. 2 scoring defense in the country and Penn State isn’t too far behind at No. 7. So points could well be at a premium.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 on ESPN.
