Team to score first in the game Oregon -170
Oregon will likely have the first possession because when the Ducks win the toss they elect to receive. When Ohio State wins the toss, they defer to the second half.
The first score of the game will be Touchdown -350
Oregon has scored 86 touchdowns and 16 field goals this season. Ohio State has 87 touchdowns and 13 field goals. This makes the ratio 173:29 or around 6 touchdowns for every field goal, making touchdown a good choice.
Will there be a score in the first 4:30 of the game? No -115
In 2011 Oregon did not score until the second quarter when they were in the National Championship Game. They did not score until 8 minutes into the game in the Semi-Final. Ohio State was able to put through a field goal last week just before the 4:30 mark and did the same in the B10 championship game and rivalry game against Michigan. However the No still is the better bet.
Will there be a score in the first 4 minutes of the 2nd Quarter? No -105
The over under is 75. That should translate to around 12 different scores throughout the game. That means one score at about 5 minutes. Given the 4 minute time frame is shorter than the 5-minute expected score time, odds are that there will not be a score.
Will there be a score in the first 4 minutes of the 4th Quarter? No -105

Oregon should have the first possession given both team’s coin toss preference, which makes it likely they will score first and the Ducks are the favorite to win the game.
Will a special teams or defensive touchdown be scored? No -170
Oregon has 2 Special Teams or defensive touchdowns, Ohio State has 3. That’s only 5 in a combined 28 games meaning there should only be one every .17 games.

Team to use the first timeout Ohio State -115
Third string QB has a much better chance of calling a time out than an offense that relies on playing as fast as possible.
Team to get the first penalty Ohio State EVEN
Oregon is the 4th most penalized team in the country while Ohio State is 44th. However since Oregon will probably start with the ball and the payoff for Ohio State is better; the Buckeyes are the right play.
The first turnover of the game will be Fumble +120
Oregon fumbles .5 times a game and throws an INT .2 times. Ohio State is at a rate of .8 for both.
Will the game go to overtime No -1000
With this payoff the bet is useless but this is the right play.
