The fourth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes face #19 Purdue in a crucial matchup that could impact their College Football Playoff hopes. Here are the three most promising prop bets for Saturday's game:

Purdue Over 0.5 Points - 1st Quarter (-105)

• High probability with Purdue likely getting 2 possessions
• Strong passing offense ranks 7th in yards per game
• Only needs any score (FG or TD) to hit
• Ohio State's defense can be inconsistent early

Ohio State Under 9.5 Points - 1st Quarter (-105)

• Expect a slow offensive start
• Purdue's strong pass defense will force more runs
• Running game limits possessions and clock
• Single punt likely ensures the under hits
• Works regardless of who starts with ball

Purdue +10.5 First Half (-105)

• Projects as low-scoring early game
• Ohio State likely leads but not by wide margin
• Strong value even if scoring picks up
• First half spread provides cushion before potential second half adjustments

The Buckeyes should control this game, but early defensive struggles and Purdue's passing attack create value in these first-half props focusing on a closer, lower-scoring start before Ohio State potentially pulls away late.
