Ohio State vs. Oregon: Here are our best game and player prop picks for massive Big Ten clash

On Saturday, we get to see the results of the amazing conference realignment change that took place during the summer.

With significant College Football Playoff ramifications, the third-ranked Oregon Ducks and the second-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes square off in a big Ten matchup.

Both programs are unbeaten going into Saturday. The stars who will step up in the crucial moments of a game that should be very close are the subject of much interest.

For a more thorough analysis of this huge game, check out our Ohio State vs. Oregon predictions and best bets. To determine who will stand out on the big stage, I’m examining the player lines surrounding this game today.

Now, let’s review my top picks for Saturday’s Ohio State vs. Oregon player props.

Best Ohio State vs. Oregon player prop picks

Dillon Gabriel Over 251.5 passing yards

The odds at Caesars Sportsbook are -117.

One thing Oregon knows going into this game is that it cannot attempt to defeat Ohio State by winning on the ground.

TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins are an extremely skilled backfield duo. The two future NFL starters on the Buckeyes are superior to the Ducks’ strong rushing assault.

Rather, they will have to depend on Dillon Gabriel’s seasoned presence, who has been effective for the Ducks even in games where Oregon has let inferior competition stay around.

The quarterback is the team’s star player and a strong contender for the Heisman Trophy. Pass catchers Terrance Ferguson, Tez Johnson, and Evan Stewart are all around Gabriel.

He has outperformed a marker in four of five games this season and should be able to move the ball wide effectively.

Quinshon Judkins Over 64.5 rushing yards

BetMGM odds are -115.

Quinshon Judkins has lived up to the hype after startling everyone by moving from Ole Miss to Ohio State during the winter.

The runner has never really done poorly in a game, even though he has been sharing the effort with his fellow backfield standout.

The Buckeyes will probably want to win this game in the trenches, and more so with the ball in Judkins’ hands, against an Oregon defense that probably demands a more taxing contest.

Despite having a weak schedule, Oregon has struggled to control the run in the early going of the season, giving up more over 100 yards per game, including 192 to Ashton Jeanty.

As part of their strategy on Saturday, Ohio State is likely to try to take advantage of that and feed Judkins frequently.
