Our Louisville vs. Notre Dame prop picks are targeting Chris Bell, Riley Leonard, and Jeremiyah Love.
While Notre Dame hasn't allowed many explosive plays this season, this Irish defense is susceptible to yards after the catch — something we expect wideout Chris Bell to take advantage of.
Shough will need to rely on his short passing game a bit more against the Notre Dame defense, and Chris Bell is a target he should be looking for. The receiver has only six catches on the season, but he’s gained 167 yards and scored twice. However, their run-stuffing ability doesn’t extend to dealing with mobile quarterbacks. Louisville has given up 159 rushing yards to quarterbacks over its past two games which is a weakness Riley Leonard should exploit.
Leonard’s 46 carries have him tied for the team lead with Jeremiyah Love, and he’s gaining seven yards a pop. He has a 76.8 run grade this season from, ranking him 13th among 57 eligible quarterbacks. In his two games against Power Four opponents, he ran for 64 yards against Texas A&M and 100 yards against Purdue.
Dumping the ball off is one way Notre Dame can get Love involved if they struggle to run the ball. And it’s an area where he’s done well this season.
