The Ohio State vs Oregon Game Prediction!
The Pick: The Oregon Ducks +3.5
So, both these teams are coming in undefeated, which makes this match up a big deal for the Big Ten standings. Oregon's got the home field advantage, but they haven't been all that impressive against weaker teams this season. Ohio State had a rough start against Iowa last week, but they've crushed all five of their opponents so far. I reckon we're in for a high-scoring game with both teams having killer offenses, but my money's on Oregon at home. This one could go down to the wire!
