The #5 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes face the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday at noon on FOX. Here are the top three prop bets to consider:

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 looking to bounce back from Purdue loss
• Ohio State's defense has shown inconsistency, especially on the road

Ohio State First Quarter Moneyline (-255)

• Buckeyes' high-powered offense typically starts fast
• Nebraska may need time to adjust to Ohio State's pace and talent
• Expect OSU to lead after first quarter before game tightens

Nebraska First Half Spread +7.5

• Dual-threat QB Adrian Martinez can keep game close early
• Home field advantage should help Cornhuskers stay competitive
• Key factor will be Nebraska's defense vs Ohio State's offense

Game Outlook: Ohio State (7-1, 5-0 Big Ten) should win but face a tough test from Nebraska (3-6, 1-5). The Cornhuskers have played ranked teams close, losing to both Michigan and Michigan State by just three points. While the Buckeyes' offense will likely be too much in the end, expect Nebraska to keep it competitive at home in what could be a trap game for playoff-hopeful Ohio State.
