The current betting odds have Oregon listed as a 3 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oregon has looked great in their games this season with their 5-0 record overall and their 2-0 conference record. They started the season off slow, but they have been rolling in their games lately with their offense putting up points and their defense looking a lot better too. Meanwhile, Ohio State has also looked great in their games this season with their 5-0 record overall and their 2-0 conference record. Their offense has been rolling in their games this season and their offense has also looked great. This is going to be a really big game in the Big Ten as the winner will have the inside track to the Big Ten Championship. Both of these teams are 2 of the best in the country with great defenses so this is going to be a really close game either way. This is a tougher game for Ohio State though since they have to travel to the West Coast and Oregon isn't an easy place to play either. This game will likely be decided by a field goal either way so it is best to take the points with the home team here. The best way to place a bet here is on Oregon to cover the spread in this game.
