Ohio State -2.5 -120

A lot of familiarity here for some of the Ohio State coaches with the Oregon team that I feel will benefit them.  Ohio State has not faced the toughest schedule, but I think we will see some things here that we haven't seen on tape from them.  I think Will Smith will take off on more QB designed runs.  On the Oregon side they look like a very good balanced team, but they rank 96th in forcing turnovers, and are outside the top 75 in explosive offense and defense.  I think Ohio State will have the advantage there, and in the red zone.  Oregon has not faced a defense this good, and while Dillon Gabriel is a very good player and is experienced he has limitations for sure.  I think Ohio State just has the better overall team and talent, including the better QB.
