Bet Riley Leonard to have Under 181.5 Passing Yards
Riley Leonard is widely regarded as one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the country, but the reality is that he is a great runner and a middle-of-the pack passer in this Notre Dame offense.
College football player prop betting sites have noted this by setting his passing yards line at 181.5 yards. But, even that is not low enough.
That may be because of his reputation as an elite dual-threat who can hurt defenses both on the ground and throughout the air, but his statistics show that betting against him as a passer is a smart bet to make.
Notable Riley Leonard Stats
- Averages 174.3 passing yards per game (87th nationally)
- Attempts just 24.4 passes per game (106th nationally)
- Over 181.5 passing yards in four out of 12 games this year
This is not all to take away from Riley Leonard, because he has been good at Notre Dame. He has 14 rushing touchdowns on the season (T23rd) after all.
But, Riley Leonard’s low standing among college football passing rankings means his under is a great bet.
Leonard is also facing a very stout passing defense. Indiana has surrendered only 174.0 passing yards per game, which is ninth-best nationally.
It makes the most sense to bet on the under on the passing yards prop for Riley Leonard due to his performance through the air this season and a strong Hoosiers passing defense.
