Blake Corum is the standout prop bet for tonight’s highly-anticipated college football national championship game. While betting on him to score a single touchdown seems safe, the real value lies in wagering for him to score twice, with odds sitting attractively at +105. This reflects not just a bet but an acknowledgment of a stellar season. Corum has been a consistent scorer in every game this season, marking him as a pivotal figure in Michigan’s quest for the championship.
Corum’s role cannot be overstated. He’s not just any player; he’s the Michigan leader in backfield touchdowns and one of the most decorated running backs. This national championship isn’t just another game; it’s a coronation for Michigan and Corum. While JJ McCarthy has played a significant role at quarterback, Corum’s potential for multiple red zone touches makes him the prime candidate for scoring two touchdowns tonight.
Looking back, Corum’s performance has been extraordinary, with multiple touchdowns in six consecutive games for the Wolverines. His notable achievement includes a receiving touchdown that initiated scoring for Michigan in the Rose Bowl against Alabama. With 25 rushing touchdowns to his name this season, only Ollie Gordon, the nation’s leading rusher, comes close in scoring prowess.
The betting odds reflect this dominance. With a game total of 56.5 and Michigan’s team total at 30.5, Corum’s chances of finding the endzone stands at a commanding -400. Adding an exciting twist, Corum is also favored at +130 to be the first Michigan player to score for the Maize and Blue.
Similarly, Ja’Lynn Polk’s performance in the Sugar Bowl against Texas was a revelation, contributing significantly with five receptions, 122 yards, and a touchdown. Despite this, Polk’s odds in tonight’s game remain enticing, partly due to Michigan’s robust pass defense and the presence of teammates like Rome Odunze and Jalen McMillan. With a betting line of 53.5 on Polk, there’s potential value there.
Lastly, Washington‘s Michael Penix Jr. is expected to have a significant impact, with predictions suggesting he might exceed 292.5 passing yards. Polk’s role will be crucial in helping Penix Jr. reach this milestone, making this matchup exciting and potentially profitable for astute bettors.
