Indiana and Ohio State clash in a pivotal Big Ten matchup that has major championship implications. This analysis breaks down the most promising player props for this Week 13 showdown.

Will Howard Under 245.5 Passing Yards (-115) Despite Ohio State's high implied team total of 32.5 points, Howard faces a tough challenge against Indiana's elite defense. The Hoosiers rank 4th in pass rush productivity and 14th in coverage nationally. Howard has struggled under pressure this season, completing just 59% of passes 10+ yards downfield and averaging only 6.7 yards per attempt when pressured. He's fallen short of 250 passing yards in three of his last four games.

Justice Ellison Over 38.5 Rushing Yards (-115) Indiana's inside zone running scheme matches up well against Ohio State's defensive weaknesses. The Buckeyes rank 64th in line yards and 76th in stuff rate, with their success rate dropping significantly against inside zone runs. Ellison averages 5.7 yards per carry with 3.8 yards after contact, making him well-positioned to exceed this modest total.

Quinshon Judkins Anytime TD (-140) Judkins has emerged as Ohio State's lead back, out-carrying TreVeyon Smith by 14 attempts over the past five games. While Indiana boasts the nation's top rushing defense statistically, they haven't faced a top-70 rushing attack. Given Judkins' efficiency (6.0 yards per carry) and expected heavy workload, he presents solid value to find the end zone.

These prop selections leverage key matchup advantages and recent trends while accounting for game script possibilities in this crucial Big Ten battle.
