 TOP PICK
Who will win Oregon vs Ohio State: Ohio State -7.5

Playable to 53%.

The Buckeyes' five-game winning streak came to an end against USC last weekend, with backup quarterback Luke Fahey leading the team to just 18 points.

Starting quarterback Julian Sayin will be sidelined once again this weekend as he continues to rehab an elbow injury suffered in the team's Week 7 win over Indiana. However, there are reasons to believe Ohio State will get back into the win column.

Scoring just 18 points looks bad on the surface, but Fahey played relatively well against the Trojans in Week 9. He completed 15 of 25 passes from a clean pocket and held his own under pressure, completing 6 of 13 attempts without any turnover-worthy throws.

Fahey looked much better than he did during his relief appearance against the Hoosiers, and it stands to reason that he'll look even better at home after another full week of practice.

Oregon's defense allowed 456 yards of total offense to Northwestern last weekend, despite playing at home. The Ducks could struggle in a hostile environment this Saturday against an Ohio State team that's more talented than last week's result suggests.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Ohio State is 11-4 ATS against ranked opponents over the last three years, including 4-0 ATS as a home favorite.

Oregon vs Ohio State Over/Under pick: Over 45.5

Playable to 53%.

Defense has been a pain point for both teams for much of 2026. Oregon allowed 26 points and 456 yards of total offense at home to Northwestern last weekend. The Wildcats went 7-for-17 on third down, successfully moving the chains both through the air and on the ground.

Ohio State was sliced and diced by USC in the first half last weekend, allowing 20 points. The Buckeyes surrendered a 69-yard touchdown pass on the opening possession and forced just one punt on six true offensive possessions by the Trojans in the first half.

Offense was less of an issue for Ohio State, despite scoring just 18 points. The Buckeyes recorded 25 first downs and 464 yards of total offense, but one long drive ended with a fumble and another stalled on a turnover on downs.

We should see plenty of points between these two schools in Week 10.

Oregon vs Ohio State combo

Playable to 41%.

The game script got away from Ohio State last weekend against USC, leading to a final score that made the game look more lopsided than it truly was.

The Buckeyes moved the ball with ease for much of the contest but couldn't execute in key moments near the goal line. Returning home for Week 10, the Buckeyes seemingly have a dark cloud hanging over them, but a more normal game script is likely to reveal a team that still has plenty of talent, including Heisman contender Jeremiah Smith at wide receiver.

This total has moved too aggressively toward the Under with Ohio State starting a backup quarterback. Expect the Buckeyes to have success throwing the football, helping them earn a win in a high-scoring affair.
