Indiana vs. Ohio State Player Prop Best Bets
Charlie Becker Anytime Touchdown (+120)
Charlie Becker emerged as a real weapon for Fernando Mendoza at Indiana last season, but he was the clear WR3 behind two guys who were 2026 NFL Draft picks. Now, Becker is one of the leaders on this team in a wide receiver tandem with Nick Marsh. Both players have been productive and have nearly identical reception and receiving-yard totals. Becker has exactly one more catch and one more receiving yard than Marsh this season.
However, Becker has a clear advantage when it comes to touchdowns. Becker has eight receiving touchdowns this season, the fourth-most in the nation. This is a huge game for Indiana, especially as quarterback Josh Hoover looks to show that he can win big games. He should look to his most trusted target early and often, especially in the red zone. Becker had his best game of the 2025 season against Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game, going for 126 yards through the air. It should be another big game from Becker as he finds the end zone against the Buckeyes.
Devin McCuin 34+ Receiving Yards (-114)
Devin McCuin is the forgotten WR2 for Ohio State this season. Jeremiah Smith is having one of the best seasons in the history of college football, which has pushed every other skill position player on the Buckeyes to the side. However, McCuin is quietly producing at a steady level in the shadow of the Heisman favorite. In two games since Big Ten play started, he has eight catches for 114 yards and a touchdown. This could be a big game for McCuin to show he can be a real weapon for the Buckeyes.
There is simply no stopping Jeremiah Smith. Your best hope is to just slow him down. If any coaching staff in the Big Ten can do that, it is Curt Cignetti and Indiana. That should lead to more targets for McCuin than he gets on a normal week. The Indiana pass defense has been somewhat vulnerable, ranking 76th nationally in defensive EPA/pass. Julian Sayin should send a few targets McCuin’s way, and he should make the most of them. McCuin has hit this mark in both Big Ten games so far this season and should do so again in this matchup against the Hoosiers.
