- 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
