No. 1 Indiana, after streamrolling Alabama and Oregon, is approaching double-digit favorite status for tonight's CFP National Championship against 10th-seeded Miami — but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of value to be found in betting on player props for both the Hoosiers and the Hurricanes!
Our college football player prop projections have identified the best prop plays to make for tonight, with kick off set for 7:30 p.m. ET tonight at Hard Rock Stadium, and broadcast on ESPN.

Miami computer picks
Carson Beck Over 199.5 passing yards (-114)
Projection: 207.29 yards
Our projections have the veteran Miami QB finishing above the 200-yard mark (whether it's garbage time or not remains to be seen).
CharMar Brown Over 25.5 rushing yards (-114)
Projection: 30.28 yards
We're forecasting RB1 Mark Fletcher to go Under his total, but we're more optimistic about Brown surpassing his rushing line after a strong performance in the semifinal.
Alternate-total bet
30+ yards (+116) - This price shows a little bit of value.
Malachi Toney Over 61.5 receiving yards (-114)
Projection: 65.25 yards
Miami's star WR will need another big game tonight, and while we don't project a monster game... he should finish above his receiving total.
🔥 Bet Toney receiving yards now
Keelan Marion Over 42.5 receiving yards (-114)
Projection: 56.17 yards
Our projections have found plenty of value in Miami's secondary pass catchers, with Marion showing the most value to go Over (after breaking out for 114 yards against Mississippi).
Alternate-total bet
50+ yards (+134) - This prop shows incredible value.
🔥 Bet Marion receiving yards now
Indiana computer picks
Fernando Mendoza Under 223.5 passing yards (-114)
Projection: 204.56 yards
Mendoza has been the model of efficiency, but the Heisman winner has finished Under this number in four straight — and we're projecting tonight to be five in a row.
🏈 Bet Mendoza passing yards now
Roman Hemby Over 62.5 rushing yards (-114)
Projection: 67.46 yards
Our projections have IU's leading rusher to finish just beyond his posted total against Miami's stout defense.
Omar Cooper Jr. Over 45.5 receiving yards (-114)
Projection: 59.55 yards
Cooper has been quiet down the stretch, failing to top this number in his last three games, but we expect him to finish the season strong.
Alternate-total bet
60+ yards (+158) - This prop shows good value.
🔥 Bet Cooper receiving yards now
Elijah Sarratt o56.5 receiving yards (-114)
Projection: 67.56 yards
College football expert Andrew Caley loves Sarratt to go Over his total as one of his best Miami vs. Indiana predictions — and our projections also agree.
🔥 Bet Sarratt receiving yards now
