Ohio State at Oregon (01/01/2010)

So, uh, how confident are people feeling now that they've seen the Pac 10 get abused the last two weeks?

the spread offense relies more on qucikness vs strength - they might be stronger - but are they quicker side to side?? - i dont know - i know one thing osu hasnt seen an offense like oregon

the stregnth of schedule is mostly because the pac 10 is rated high and the bigh 10 low - so far big 10 1-1 wisc and minnesota - and pac 10 2-4- az, standford, ucla, osu, cal and usc - ucla played temple and usc boston college - neither very good - look at what byu, utah and neb did to the better teams in the pac 10 - i think osu keeps it close

After I watch Penn St beat LSU I'm gonna ease the seat back share some Gentleman Jack and think about what to do on the Sugar Bowl but in the meantime I'll be happy about going 3-0 after  -- BUCKEYES  +4 &  VER  50  

you made some good points - but a couple things ore beat usc and purdue - osu lost to both - i think oregon got better during the season - granted the pac 10 is weaker then most thought - but beside wisconsin who is in the big 10 - and statistically wisconsin killed osu at columbus  - something like 368 yards to 184 - the other decent team iowa played with their backup qb and has no offense almost beat osu and at columbus - i am on the fense here - i think oregon might be alittle over confident - a field goal might decide this one

Ok guy, you really are an idiot.  Listen I am not a Nebraska backer by any means, but they are more than a slighty below average team.  To be honest, they should be in a BCS game.  Get a clue

The Books are backing Orgeon here with the fierce spread and ML movement. 

Ohio State may get there ass handed to them today.

Oregon -3 -135 5dimes

Just a note...the past 10 times the Buckeyes were a dog,they are 7-3 ATS

Pryor is theri leading rushher........Oregon has three different guys that will run for more yards today.......Pryor struggles with passing accuracy and proper reads.......he is an athlete that is being asked to play a style of football that doesn't suit him.   On the other side of the ball, all those players are in a system that suits them.  I understand that the Pac 10 may be a little over rated.......but you are not going to see me stand up and talk about a buckeye team that has lost every big game they have played in over the last 4 years!!!  The Big Ten has crapped the bed every bowl season for the last three years.............

A better offensive and defensive line the Bucks do have........that is were it ends......and in the other positions it isn't even close.  Get pressure on Pryor and move him off his spot and keep the "sandlot" play in check and the Bucks will be in big trouble. 

Oregon -4, Over 50.5

Taking Ohio State +4.5 and ML

Oregon -4.5  LARGE

Pryor hobbled, and Small being out takes away from possible special teams scores needed for the buckeyes here.  Buckeyes MAY keep it close for a half, but they have not seen a big / explosive back like BLOUNT all year, and I think he starts getting big chunks in the 2nd. half helping the DUCKS pull away.  Just too much speed and too many playmakers on the DUCKS side...

OREGON -4.5...

Gotta go with Oregon for all reasons mentioned.

I do concede that Ohi

Sorry my post got cut off,

I concede that Ohio St. has the better linemen, but Oregon excels at every other position.  Masoli is a lot more consistent and comfortable taking making passes than Ohio St.  Ohio St. is going to have that one-sided run attack again because Pryor won't be able to make his passes.  Tressel ball might work against those lesser on the offensive side - but Oregon is among the most dangerous in the country on the offensive end. 

OSU

Ohio State - Big Play

Goin' with BUCKEYES ML here

Ohio State +4

If ya pick the suckeyes Quack, Quack, Quack. Just another reason I like the Ducks here

Hey, Oregon could hit 50 by itself.  In last 6 games, Ducks have averaged 43 (against likes of Stanford, USC, and Arizona) and total has averaged 74 in these games.

I'm sure Ohio State has a solid defense, but Ducks scored 38 against
Purdue and 47 against USC--the two teams that beat Buckeyes.

Nothing in life or sports guaranteed, But I'm confident Oregon will
salvage some of cred Pac-10 has lost lately.

The Ducks will win this game... I love their offense against this Ohio State team.  I don't think OSU will be able to keep up on the scoreboard for this one boys. 

Ducks FTW and Cover       

Ducks have this in the bag... LOOK at the over in the first half to hit! 21-10 first half score! 

 I'm thinking this game goes Over
