Ohio State at Oregon odds: Early point spread released, How to watch
For the first time ever, Ohio State and Oregon are set to do battle as conference opponents on Saturday.
The game has massive implications for not only the Big Ten Conference’s standings but the landscape of the College Football Playoffs as well.
Heading into the matchup, Ohio State stands as an early 3.5-point favorite over the Ducks on the road in Week 7. The over/under point total is set at 53.5, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
This is the first matchup between the two programs since the 2021 season. Both rosters looked drastically different as the Anthony Brown Jr. and CJ Verdell-led Ducks downed the Buckeyes 35-28 in Columbus. They have a chance to earn that win back on the road this weekend.

Ohio State has allowed a total of 27 points through its first four games. In other words, the Buckeyes are giving up a mere 6.8 points per game, the fewest in the country heading into last week. Oregon, meanwhile, has seemingly found its stride offensively. Head coach Dan Lanning’s team appears to have sorted out issues up front and averaged 488.5 yards and 41.5 points per game in wins over Oregon State and UCLA.
Historically, the Buckeyes and Ducks have met 10 times in history — two of which were in the Rose Bowl (1958, 2010) and one (2015) was for the national championship. The 2021 matchup was the only time the Ducks defeated in Buckeyes in program history.
They’ll look to secure their second win against Ohio State on Saturday — for the very first time in Eugene and in front of their home crowd.
If the Ducks can pull it off, the only ranked matchups they have left on the docket ais Oct. 26 against No. 24 Illinois and a road trip to No. 10 Michigan. For the Buckeyes, they not only have to get past the Ducks on the road, but they play No. 7 Penn State, No. 23 Indiana, and, of course, the Wolverines on Nov. 30.
