Pick #1: Blake Corum 2+ Touchdowns

We’re forecasting a big performance from UM running back Blake Corum against Washington in the National Championship. The issue we’ve run into is how to tackle him in the player props market, as oddsmakers have inflated some of his lines due to the public money that will be pouring in.

It’s certainly possible Corum topples his 102.5-yard rushing prop set by bookmakers, although he’s only reached 100 yards twice all season. The best value we’ve identified is for Corum to record two or more touchdowns (+110 at ESPN Bet).

Corum has recorded multiple touchdowns in six straight games and in nine of 13 contests overall this season. The Huskies have struggled defending the run all season, allowing 133.8 yards per game on the ground and ranking 72nd in run defense efficiency (per PFF).

Texas’ CJ Baxter and Jayon Blue each punched in scores against Washington in the Sugar Bowl, and we think Corum will follow in their path with a multi-TD game. The senior Corum has averaged an impressive 17 rushes per game this season and has seen over 60% of the team’s carries down the stretch.

This is also the final college game for Corum, and we think he will go out with a bang. He recently became the all-time career rushing touchdown leader at Michigan, and we think he tacks on a few more scores for good measure against this struggling UW rush defense.

Pick: Blake Corum to Score 2 or More TDs (+110 at ESPN Bet )

Pick #2: Rome Odunze Over 89.5 Receiving Yards

Another player we’re targeting in the Michigan vs Washington player props is Huskies wide receiver Rome Odunze. ESPN Bet is offering Odunze’s receiving yards total for the National Championship at 89.5 yards, and we think there’s great value on the “over”.

The future first-round NFL Draft pick has accumulated 100-plus yards in 10 of the Huskies’ 14 games this season, with his season-low still being an impressive 64 yards. In the Sugar Bowl vs Texas, Odunze caught six passes for 125 yards.

Bettors may feel inclined to fade Odunze against Michigan considering their elite defense, but top college football wide receivers have still got their yards against this Wolverines secondary. A recent example is Ohio State standout Marvin Harrison Jr. hauling in five passes for 118 yards against Michigan near the end of the season.

Washington already throws the ball on nearly 60% of their offensive snaps, and that number is sure to increase with RB Dillon Johnson battling an injury. Odunze has gotten double-digit targets in four consecutive games, and he possesses the 1-on-1 skills to take advantage of his projected heavy volume on Monday.

In the Washington vs Michigan touchdown scorer props market, Wolverines’ star running back Blake Corum has the best odds to find paydirt at -450. Washington’s Rome Odunze (-130) and Dillon Johnson (-115) are also odds-on favorites to get into the endzone.

Pick #3: Roman Wilson Anytime TD

In the anytime TD market of the Michigan vs Washington props, we like the value on Wolverines wide receiver Roman Wilson to find paydirt on Monday. The senior doesn’t post eye-popping stats, but he’s been very consistent, getting into the endzone 11 times this season.

ROMAN WILSON WALKS IT IN TO TIE THE GAME‼️

Wilson delivered in the clutch with 73 yards and a TD in the Rose Bowl, and we think McCarthy will look to him again on Monday. While Michigan will rely on their run game fairly often, McCarthy should have plenty of time in the pocket to throw with UM’s O-line only allowing 1.36 sacks per game. Plus, Washington only ranks 37th in pass rush efficiency.

Wilson is trusted by McCarthy due to his explosiveness and ability to not telegraph his attack of the football. We think Wilson will create the separation needed to come through with a big TD in Houston. No other Michigan receiver has more than two TDs this season.

Pick: Roman Wilson Anytime TD (+165 at DraftKings )
