Anderson - 58.5 passing yards
Anderson - 4.5 completions
I don't usually jump on propositions, but these two look too good. I go back and forth on which side will end up on top - hoping OSU since I put a wad on them before I started second guessing myself. But, either way this game goes, I think this is a strong bet.
First the season averages per game:
Anderson cmps/yds: 22.8/296
Brady cmps/yds: 15.8/216
Thats +7 in comps/game & +80 in yds per game for Anderson.
Add in that OSU has little chance to run on ND given their running ability and ND's ability to stop the run. If OSU has success in the air, they will continue to fire away. If they don't - i.e. Anderson pick-a-thon, OSU's only chance will be to keep putting it up. Add in the fact that ND has gotten scorched late in the year through the air and their best pass rusher is out and I like Anderson to have at least 40 attpts in this game.
On the other side. ND is the polar opposite. They will try to pound the hell outta OSU on the ground. ND's got 2 WR's out and is facing a team that leads the country in opponents completion percentage 43%. If ND has success on the ground, OSU will be feed a steady diet of Grant and Walker. If ND can't run, then they are in big trouble. They will be down big, facing 2 great corners with green WR's and Swancutt unloading on Brady. In addition, OSU losing Pollard, maybe OSU's best run stopper, will also play into ND's desire and success running it.
Just the season averages of the two QB's favors Anderson covering both. But given that OSU will most likely abandon the run early and ND will try to pound the ball more than usual spells alot of OSU passes to few ND passes.
The game plans of these two O's could not be more opposite.
