The undefeated USC Trojans visit the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday of Week 7, and our top USC vs. Notre Dame player props are based on the college football odds from our best sports betting apps. Are we in store for a high-scoring affair between the longtime rivals on Saturday?
Caleb Williams had a subpar performance in the Trojans' 43-41 victory over the Arizona Wildcats last week. He threw for only 219 yards and one touchdown, while the Wildcats controlled the ball for 35 minutes and 39 seconds.
Meanwhile, the Fighting Irish lost for the second time in three weeks, falling 33-20 to the Louisville Cardinals. Sam Hartman threw for 254 yards and two touchdowns, but he was also intercepted three times.
To accompany our USC vs. Notre Dame predictions, here are our best USC vs. Notre Dame college football player props for Week 7 (odds via our best college football betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
USC vs. Notre Dame college football player props: Week 7
Estime had his worst game of the season this past weekend. He managed just 20 yards on 10 carries, and his longest run of the game was six yards. Despite the rough outing, Estime is still averaging right around 99 rushing yards per game and 6.6 yards per carry.
Estime and the Fighting Irish have faced three top-25 teams in a row, and it has resulted in three consecutive 81-yard or fewer performances for the running back. But this week, we expect him to get back into triple digits against a defense that can't stop anyone.
The Trojans are allowing 157 rushing yards per game. Last week, Arizona's Jonah Coleman rushed for 143 yards. He was the second consecutive running back – and third overall – to rush for over 100 against the Trojans this season.

Williams had his worst game of the season this past weekend, and because of it, there is great value in taking the Over on his passing touchdowns. Williams has thrown 22 touchdowns this season, including at least three in five of his six games. Last week, he threw just one touchdown, but his team also combined for five on the ground.
The Fighting Irish defense is getting much more credit than it deserves heading into this week. Though it's allowing just 279.4 yards per contest and 24 or fewer points in all but one game, it's shown weaknesses against better offenses.
Williams is the best quarterback in college football, and the Fighting Irish haven't faced a quarterback who is even remotely close to his caliber this season. The Trojans have scored over 40 points in every game this year, and even if they struggle Saturday, we expect them to score at least 21. At +142, it's worth expecting Williams to throw at least three touchdowns.
The Trojans' defense is allowing 421.3 yards per game, and it's let two consecutive opponents score 41. We're already on Estime to go Over his rushing total, but that doesn't mean that Sam Hartman and his receiving corps aren't going to have success through the air, as well.
In five games, Evans has 22 catches for 343 yards. He leads the Fighting Irish in both categories. He has at least 61 receiving yards in four of his five contests, and he has caught four balls in all but one game.
The best part about Evans is his consistency. His season-long reception is just 36 yards, yet he's averaging 15.6 yards per catch. This isn't a player who relies on huge plays to get his yardage totals. If he hauls in four balls in what should be a pretty high-scoring game, then he's going to hit this Over with ease.
