When Ohio State enters Autzen Stadium for a top-three matchup against Oregon on Saturday, it will do so as the favorite.
According to Action Network’s consensus lines, the Buckeyes are a 3.5-point favorite against the Ducks in the highly-anticipated matchup between the Big Ten elite. The consensus total is set at 55 points.
The Buckeyes are 3-2 against the spread this season but have covered in three of their last four games, with the lone exception coming in their 49-14 win over Marshall in which they were a 40-point favorite. The over is also 3-2 in Ohio State games, however, the under has hit in each of the Buckeyes’ last two games — both coming against Big Ten opponents.
Ohio State is 9-1 against Oregon all-time, including a 42-20 victory over the Ducks in the 2015 College Football Playoff National Championship. However, the Ducks have the last laugh in the matchup, taking down the Buckeyes 35-28 at Ohio Stadium in 2021.
The Buckeyes and Ducks kick off at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. The game will be televised on NBC.
