Saturday’s noon ET kickoff in Fayetteville sets up a high-stakes clash: Arkansas hosts the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in a non-conference test. The Razorbacks lean on dual-threat QB
Taylen Green
and a ground game featuring
Mike Washington Jr.
and
Braylen Russell, while Notre Dame will try to get
Jeremiyah Love
going and lean on QB
CJ Carr
to attack through the air. With Notre Dame’s cornerbacks dealing with injuries, there are matchups worth targeting in the prop board.
Prop Bet Overview
Key angles: Arkansas will want to exploit Notre Dame’s secondary given injury concerns around cornerback
Leonard Moore
(questionable) and nickel
DeVonta Smith
(probable). Notre Dame’s rushing attack, led by Love, is dangerous, and Carr may be forced to test Arkansas through the air. Meanwhile, Green’s legs are always in play. Below are props that take advantage of these matchups.
Taylen Green – Over Rushing Yards
Green is not just a passer — he’s Arkansas’s leading runner (360 yards) this season. The Fighting Irish struggle to contain QB runs, especially when forced off schedule. Against a secondary with injury risks, designed runs and scramble opportunities will exist. A line in the 35–45 yard range is quite attainable for Green. His style gives him one or two explosive runs that can tip this.
Tip: Bet Taylen Green Over Rushing Yards
- Leading QB Rusher
-
Scramble upside
-
Injured ND secondary

Jeremiyah Love – Over Rushing Yards
Notre Dame’s offense runs through Love. He’s already flashed with big games (e.g. 157 yards vs Purdue). Arkansas’s run defense has been hit-or-miss vs dynamic backs. Given that ND will want to control tempo on the road, Love should get a heavy load. If he surpasses 100 yards (or clears a prop line around 95–105), it’s well within reach.

CJ Carr – Over Passing Yards
Even with Love in the mix, ND will need to pass to keep Arkansas honest. Carr has shown efficiency, and with Arkansas’ secondary having vulnerabilities (especially if Notre Dame’s Leonard Moore can’t go), Carr should be asked to push the ball. Expect 30–35 pass attempts, especially if the run game stalls. A line in the 220–240 yard territory feels like a soft target.
Tip: Bet CJ Carr Over Passing Yards
- Volume Passing Need
-
Weak Arkansas Coverage
-
Efficient QB

Mike Washington Jr. / Braylen Russell – Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Arkansas will want balance, and Washington Jr. and Russell are in the mix to finish drives. With Notre Dame’s front lines dedicating attention to Green and the passing game, these backs can sneak in red-zone or short-yardage opportunities. Either is a good shot to hit in the anytime TD props, especially if Arkansas gets inside the 10-yard line multiple times.
Tip: Bet Mike Washington Jr. or Braylen Russell Anytime TD
- Balanced RB Use
-
Red Zone Opportunity
