According to Bovada's prop bets released for Monday Night's National Championship, Oregon will score first, and hold on for the win, while Ezekiel Elliott will get his.
As with most games, the team that scores first is favored to win this game, and the first score of the championship is heavily favored to be a touchdown, reflecting the scoring punch of each school's offense.
Bovada sets an over/under of 18 completions, 49½ rushing yards and 260½ passing yards for Cardale Jones. Those numbers trail his counterpart, Oregon's Marcus Mariota, but not by much. Ezekiel Elliott, in the midst of binge eating yardage, has an over/under set on 165½ rushing yards and 2½ rushing touchdowns.
If you're feeling especially wealthy/foolish, you can even get in on an Ohio State win by 43 or more points at 80/1 odds.
Among other interesting props, Oregon is the favorite to earn the game's first penalty, the over/under for the longest touchdown of the game is set at 63½ by Bovada, while the over/under for the longest field goal of the game is 37½.
