Our computer is calling for Kamari Moulton to clear his rushing total for the 10th time in 11 games on Saturday night.

Moulton is averaging 71 rushing yards per game in 2026.

DJ Vonnahme Over 28.5 receiving yards

Projection: 35.1 yards

DJ Vonnahme has gone Over this total in seven of his last eight games. Here's why J.D. Yonke is including Vonnahme in his Ohio State vs. Iowa props:

"He's off to a "slow" start to the season, but that's more injury-related than anything. He returned to the field last week against Michigan and caught four passes for 44 yards. Expecting that to be at least his season-long average moving forward is more than reasonable. Going into the year, Vonnahme led all returning tight ends in yards per route run (3.10). He's averaging 60.1 receiving yards across his last eight games, so take the steep discount on this number."

🔥 Trade Vonnahme rushing yards now

Tony Diaz Over 49.5 receiving yards

Projection: 65.2 yards

This Tony Diaz prop carries a 26.7% EV edge, good for a five-star play.

Diaz has exceeded this line in four of his last six games.

Addison Ostrenga Over 12.5 receiving yards

Projection: 19.2 yards

This five-star play carries an EV edge of nearly 25%.

The Iowa tight end has hit the Over in three of his last four overall.
