The fourth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes face #19 Purdue in a crucial matchup. Here are the three best prop bets to consider:

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

• High probability with Purdue likely getting 2 possessions
• Strong passing offense (7th in yards per game, 3rd in completion %)
• Only needs a field goal or touchdown to hit
• Ohio State's defense can be inconsistent

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

• Expect a slow start to the game
• Purdue's strong pass defense will force more running plays
• Clock management favors the under if Ohio State runs
• Single punt likely ensures this hits
• Works regardless of who starts with possession

Purdue +10.5 First Half (-105)

• Projected low-scoring first half
• Ohio State likely leads but not by large margin
• Strong value even in higher-scoring scenarios
• First half spread more reliable than full game
• Purdue's defense can keep it close early

The Boilermakers' strong passing attack and defense make them a live underdog, especially in the first half. Focus on early game props where pace and matchups favor tighter margins.
