Penn State football is headed to the semifinals of the College Football Playoff and will face Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl. Read all of our coverage leading up to the Jan. 9 game at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Penn State and Notre Dame will kick off the College Football Playoff semifinal, the Orange Bowl, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Miami. But, before that matchup begins, plenty of bettors will be wagering on the winner — with some going even further and betting on individual player stats.
Such individual bets, better known as player props, aren’t available for wagering at sportsbooks within the state of Pennsylvania. The commonwealth bans such wagers on college athletics, but other states — such as Indiana — have no such restrictions.
So we decided to visit DraftKings’ Indiana website to aggregate those props for entertainment purposes. Who’s most likely to score a touchdown Thursday night? And how many rushing yards does Vegas — OK, DraftKings — believe Nick Singleton will run for?
All odds are as of Tuesday night. Take a look:
Odds to score a touchdown
(Note: Odds of -110 mean a $110 winning bet would make $100 profit. Odds of +110 mean a $100 winning bet would make a $110 profit. For quarterbacks to win, they must rush or catch a TD.)

Odds: How many receiving yards will the WRs, TEs, RBs get?
(Note: An over/under in sports betting occurs when bettors are given a number, in this case total receiving yards, and need to decide whether the player in question will go under that number or above that number. Typically, the number given out is about what experts, i.e. sportsbooks, predict the final number will be.)
