Yes. Buy the put, short the call, and short the OW if you believe it will bomb & not make its OW {nm}

Yes, if you are referring to it's strike price. Also, shorting Call if you think any openers would not reach it's strike price.

It is much riskier to short a PUT or CALL deriviative. If it goes big the other way you can lose a LOT more than what you invested.
