Our Ohio State vs. Oregon predictions expect back-and-forth scoring action and a tight final score.
No. 2 Ohio State is off to Eugene to take on No. 3 Oregon, and our early leans say you should take the points with the Ducks in what could be a back-and-forth, high-scoring game.The eyes of the college football universe will be fixated on Eugene this weekend when the Ohio State Buckeyes and Oregon Ducks meet in a Top 3 clash on Saturday.
On the other hand, Oregon’s going to face by far its toughest test of the season. The Buckeyes rank Top 5 in a plethora of offensive metrics, including EPA/rush, third-down success, and early down EPA. Will Howard has numerous weapons surrounding him, and Oregon may have a hard time taking them all away.
Oregon receiver Tez Johnson caught 10 of his team’s 21 completed passes against Michigan State, and he’s got 43 catches on the season. His teammates all have fewer than 20 receptions. The Ducks beat the Spartans 31-10 last week, while Ohio State won 38-7 the week before, but those scores don’t tell the entire story.
The Buckeyes lead the nation in red-zone scoring and have the best EPA/rush mark in college football. Ohio State tore apart Iowa’s run defense last week, gaining over 200 yards against a defense that had yet to allow 90 to anyone on the ground. Oregon’s run defense will have its hands full with TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins.
