Jeremiah Smith put up some big numbers in the receiving game (seven catches for 157 and a touchdown), but Ohio State was held to just 45 rushing yards on 24 attempts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep an eye on Miami&#8217;s electric edge rushers, Rueben Bain Jr. and Akheem Mesidor. The NFL-bound duo has combined for 19 sacks this season \u2014 including three vs. Ohio State.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Bet on Miami vs. Ole Miss here<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss could be running for his life a bit in this game, but that might not be the worst thing. Some of his most explosive plays in a 39-34 Sugar Bowl win over Georgia came on scrambles outside the pocket. He finished with 362 yards and two TDs on 30-of-46 passing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Both the Hurricanes and Rebels are 9-5 ATS this season, riding three-game ATS win streaks into this matchup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Full markets for every college football bowl game<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CFP schedule and betting lines: Peach Bowl<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No. 5 Oregon Ducks (+155) vs. No. 1 Indiana Hoosiers (-188)<\/strong><br><strong>Date:<\/strong> Friday, Jan. 9 at 7:30 p.m. ET<br><strong>Spread:<\/strong> Indiana -4 (-110)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This is a battle featuring two very promising QBs, as Indiana&#8217;s Fernando Mendoza and Oregon&#8217;s Dante Moore are expected to be the top passers on the board in this year&#8217;s NFL draft. Moore has a 76.5% completion rate and is averaging 279.2 yards over his past five games, while Mendoza leads the nation in passing TDs (36) and yards per attempt (9.6)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.com\/promoRedirect?key=ej0xMzUyNTA0MiZsPTEzNTI1MDAwJnA9ODMzNw%3D%3D\">Bet on Oregon vs. Indiana here<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Let&#8217;s not overlook either defence, though.
