- Gunner Stockton’s passing yards total is set at 178.5 at legal sports betting sites in the Sugar Bowl vs. Notre Dame

- The Fighting Irish have only allowed one running back to record over 88.5 yards this season which is Trevor Etienne’s total for the Sugar Bowl
NEW ORLEANS – The fate of Georgia’s National Title chances is now in the hands of backup quarterback Gunner Stockton and legal sports betting sites may have his passing yards total too low.
Gunner Stockton Over 178.5 Passing Yards -115
Stockton took over for Beck against Texas in the SEC Championship Game and recorded 12 completions on 16 attempts for 71 yards. After having a bye week to prepare, Stockton is in a much better position to run this Bulldogs offense.
The last game of the regular season for Notre Dame resulted in Jayden Maiava throwing for 360 yards and three touchdown passes. In the first round of the College Football Playoffs against Indiana, Kurtis Rourke threw for 215 yards and two touchdown passes.
Georgia ranks 96th for total rushing yards per game this season (126.3 YPG). Already struggling to run the ball this season, look for Stockton to rely on the passing game in this matchup.
Gunner Stockton Over 0.5 Interceptions -136
Stockton threw an interception on 16 pass attempts against Texas in the SEC Championship game and has a tough matchup against Notre Dame.
If Georgia is playing from behind and continues to struggle with the run game, Stockton to throw an interception at -136 is one of the best bets offered by legal college football playoff betting sites in the Sugar Bowl.
Notre Dame’s defense is averaging 1.4 interceptions per game which ranks 5th in all FBS college football this season.
Trevor Etienne Under 88.5 Rushing Yards -115
As previously mentioned, Georgia has struggled this year already in the run game. Trevor Etienne has battled injuries this season but has only rushed for over 88.5 yards in one game this season.
The Only player to rush for over 88 yards against this Notre Dame team was Antario Brown for Northern Illinois in the upset game early in the season.
