    Oregon Football vs. Ohio State: Tips, Predictions, Odds

    The No. 3 Oregon football team, after a 31-10 win over Michigan State last Friday, will play its toughest game yet against No. 2 Ohio State this Saturday at Autzen Stadium.

    The game will air on NBC at 4:30 p.m

    At BetMGM, the Ducks are 3.5 point underdogs at home as of Thursday. Oregon is +130 on the money line while Ohio State is -155. The over/under (overall score) is 53.5.

    The Ducks (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) are coming off a comfortable win over Michigan State, while the Buckeyes are just coming off a similarly strong 35-7 win over Iowa at home last week.

    Here’s what the national media is saying before the game.

    ESPN’s Football Power Index, which measures a team’s strength and uses it to predict game and season results, gives the Buckeyes a 64% chance of winning on Saturday.

    Prediction: Ohio State by 5.3 points

    Danny Kanell says: “I think the Oregon Ducks have value here, especially if they surpass the 3.5 field goal percentage. Ohio State was great. I don’t think they were tested the way they are being tested.” Eugene. … I’m more trusting Dillon Gabriel to get it out of his hands quickly and try to play time of possession, get the run game going and keep it away from all those weapons in Ohio State’s offense.”

    Pick: Oregon covers 3.5 point spread

    Joel Klatt said: “I think Ohio State goes out there and gets the win. Ohio State has a 3.5 advantage, I actually think they cover that 3.5. I like Ohio State, something like 28-22, 22 is an odd number.” I know that, but remember Oregon is always going to go for two at some point, so they always have those odd numbers… I like 28 -22 if the Buckeyes win on the road against Oregon.

    Pick: Ohio State wins, 28-22.

    Max Chadwick says: “I think Quinshon Judkins is having a great day against this Oregon run defense and I think Ohio State’s defensive line outshines Oregon’s offensive line. This is a heavyweight fight… but I will say if Quinshon Judkins isn’t “It wasn’t a great day and this is turning into a game that pits Will Howard and his receivers against Dillon Gabriel and his receivers. I would give the slight edge to Dillon Gabriel and his receivers.”

    Pick: Ohio State wins, 28-27
