Michigan State Spartans
After kicking off the season 3-0, the Spartans have dropped their last 2 games. Most recently it was a 38-7 loss to the 3rd ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. Aidan Chiles completed 13 of his 19 pass attempts for 167 yards and a touchdown. He also added an interception and lost a fumble. The defense did pick off Will Howard once, but other than that Ohio State threw for 298 yards and 3 touchdowns, and rushed for another 185 yards and 2 touchdowns. Prior to that, Michigan State lost to Boston College 23-19. Aidan Chiles threw 3 interceptions in that game and didn’t throw a touchdown pass but did run one in.
Oregon Ducks
Oregon followed up their 49-14 win over Oregon State with a 34-13 victory over UCLA last week. Dillon Gabriel completed 31 passes for 278 yards and 3 touchdowns but also threw a pick 6 at the end of the 1st half. Jordan James had a solid day on the ground rushing for 103 yards and a touchdown. The defense had 4 sacks and two interceptions while only giving up 2 field goals. Oregon will have a date with the Ohio State Buckeyes following their matchup with the Spartans.

Michigan State vs. Oregon Prediction:
I’ll take Michigan State to cover the 24 point spread on the road. At the time of this writing 24 is available at BetRivers and Bally. The Oregon offense still just looks to be a bit off. Despite a decent game scoring 34 points against a UCLA team that is giving up 31 ppg, Dillon Gabriel still threw a pick 6 in the red zone at the end of the half. That touchdown would be the reason Oregon didn’t cover against the Bruins. The Ducks are 1-3 ATS so far this season. They have a huge game coming up the following week when they host the 3rd ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. The defense is giving up 20 points per game. I can’t say I think the Spartans are marching into Eugene to steal a win, but there’s nothing outside of that Oregon State game that the Ducks have shown me that I would lay 24 points with them anytime soon. Throw in the fact that they have their biggest game of the season on the horizon. I think Michigan State will do enough to cover here.
Michigan State vs. Oregon Prediction: Michigan State +24
