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.
