Ohio State vs Oregon predictions

Joey Kaufman, The Columbus Dispatch: Ohio State 28, Oregon 24

"The extra travel for the Buckeyes, along with playing in an unfamiliar setting, shouldn’t be discounted as potential X-factors this weekend. It’s been a decade since they last went to the West Coast during the regular season. Nonetheless, Ohio State has been near flawless in the early weeks, reviving its ground game and remaining stout on defense. The 34 points they have allowed over a span of five games are the fewest in the Bowl Subdivision in 2024. Oregon has far more skill position talent than the Buckeyes have faced in the Big Ten thus far, but the defensive line, the strength of their defense, has an edge against an offensive line that has been more inconsistent than a year ago, giving Ohio State an edge in a heavyweight tilt that will be decided in the trenches."

Chris Hansen, Eugene Register-Guard: Ohio State 35, Oregon 27

"The Ducks' defense has allowed just one touchdown and 16 points total in the past 10 quarters, but they haven't faced anything close to what the Buckeyes are bringing to Eugene this weekend. Oregon will have to play mistake-free football to slow down Ohio State's attack. That goes for the offense as well. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who has thrown three interceptions in the red zone the past two games, can't give away scoring opportunities this week. Lucky for the Ducks, they're playing in Autzen Stadium, where they are 34-1 since 2018. Expect an entertaining game in a raucous environment with the Buckeyes scoring last as they avenge the loss to Oregon in Columbus in 2021."

Will Helms, College Football Network: Oregon 30, Ohio State 28

"These are two playoff teams who could meet again on a neutral field, but given Oregon’s home-field advantage, take the Ducks. Jordan Burch and the defensive line will make Howard uncomfortable enough to rush him. If the Ducks get a couple of turnovers, they’ll grind it out over an Ohio State team that isn’t used to playing for four quarters. Great game. Give me the Ducks straight up in a preview of a potential postseason rematch. I think the back-and-forth nature pushes it over as well."
