The #5 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes face the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday at noon on FOX. Here are the top 3 prop bets worth considering:

Nebraska Team Total Points Over 25.5 (-120)

  • Nebraska has scored over 25.5 points in 4 of 9 games this season
  • Playing at home as underdogs against a top-5 team
  • Ohio State's defense has shown inconsistency, especially on the road

Ohio State First Quarter Moneyline (-255)

  • Buckeyes' offense expected to start fast
  • Nebraska typically needs time to adjust to opponent's pace
  • Ohio State likely to lead after first quarter before Nebraska settles in

Nebraska First Half Spread +7.5

  • Dual-threat QB Adrian Martinez can keep it close early
  • Home field advantage will help Nebraska early
  • Game projects to be tighter than expected through first half

Game Outlook: While Ohio State (7-1, 5-0 Big Ten) should win to keep their playoff hopes alive, Nebraska (3-6, 1-5 Big Ten) will make it competitive. The Cornhuskers have played other top-10 teams close, losing to both Michigan and Michigan State by just 3 points. Expect Ohio State's superior offense to eventually prevail in what could be a trap game scenario.
