Ohio State Dominates Versus Big Ten
The opening Ohio State vs Oregon line shows that sportsbooks have faith in the Buckeyes establishment.
That make sense, as Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is a stellar 41-3 against Big Ten competition. However, bettors should note that the Buckeyes are just 2-5 SU versus top-five teams during his tenure. Three of those five losses have come in the College Football Playoff, as Ohio State isn’t used to playing a team as good as Oregon this early in the season.
Keep in mind, the Buckeyes are 10-1 SU in their last 11 games on the road.

On the other sideline, the Oregon Ducks have improved by leaps and bounds under the guidance of third-year head coach Dan Lanning. Former Oklahoma quarterback Dylan Gabriel gives his team the playmaker they needed under center. Gabriel’s arrival will allow to Ducks to compete at the highest level of the sport.
Bettors should note, Oregon has defeated Ohio State just once in ten matchups between the schools. That came back in September of 2021, when Anthony Brown and CJ Verdell led the Ducks to a 35-22 upset of CJ Stroud and the Buckeyes.
Ohio State vs Oregon Early Prediction
Ohio State have thrashed their competition through the early parts of the season, winning each contest by at least 28 points. Oregon, meanwhile, was very nearly upset by Boise State in Week 3. That being said, first-year defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi’s unit tightened up against Michigan State last week, holding the Spartans to just 250 total yards and ten points.
Thus, points will be hard to come by in this contest. Jim Knowle’s defense ranks second in opponent points allowed per play (0.116), while Oregon’s sits 25th (0.283). Additionally, both units have shown a propensity to get after the quarterback. The Buckeyes have racked up 17 sacks already, and the Ducks aren’t far behind with 16 of their own.
According to PFF, Oregon has totaled 80 hurries in just five contests. Look for defensive lineman Derrick Harmon to dominate on Saturday, as he leads Oregon with 20 pressures and a 19.4% pass-rush win rate. So, Will Howard could find time in the pocket hard to come by on Saturday afternoon with what promises to be a raucous home crowd backing the Ducks.
The college football betting trends show that the total has gone under in 12 of Ohio State’s last 18 games. With both defensive units in fine form, the only early play is the under 53 total points.
