Keeping this one brief.
Oregon usually has a pretty easy strength of schedule. They didn't this season. They have wins over 3 playoff teams. Their quarterback Dillon Gabriel, may not even be a day 2 draft pick, but he's smart and runs a college offense as well as anyone.
Ohio State quarterback-Will Howard probably showed us his best in their last contest against Tennessee. Maybe he replicates that game, but it will be tougher against Oregon. The Duck's biggest problem could be defending freshman Jeremiah Smith. This kid looks like he could play in the NFL right now.
Note: There aren't any major portal moves or injuries to report except the Achilles tear for Ohio State center Seth McLaughlin during practice on November 22nd. They're 2 and 1 since, but they lost to Michigan and Tennessee just didn't show up for their game.
We've seen Ohio State have some great performances and then regress.
We've seen Oregon go undefeated and always rise to the occasion.
In addition, the extra time off could help The Ducks.
I like The Oregon Ducks +2.5
