His projected numbers in this matchup are eye-popping.
DeVonta Smith Receiving Yards O.U
- Over 140.5 -120
- Under 140.5 -120
Smith might just be up to the task despite the bonkers figure, as Smith put up 130 yards against Notre Dame to go along with three touchdowns.
Total Receptions - DeVonta Smith (Alabama)
- Over 7.5 -130
- Under 7.5 -110
Interestingly, Smith sees most of his receptions on early downs - 51 of his 105 receptions on the year came on first down, and 34 on second down.
Look for him to make an impact if Alabama’s offensive gameplan is rolling - they don’t like going to third-down situations.
The matchup between these two teams should be stellar, as should the matchup between Smith and Ohio State’s DBs. College football betting fans will want to keep an eye on CFP props like this one, as well as the traditional spread and moneyline bets.
