One of the biggest matchups of the college football weekend—and the entire season—takes place on Saturday when the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes travel to Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, to battle the No. 3 Oregon Ducks at 7:30 PM ET on NBC .
Both teams remain unbeaten and have specific strengths they excel at. Oregon boasts an impressive record, having won 34 of their last 35 games at home, but they have yet to face an opponent of Ohio State’s caliber, given the wealth of talent on both sides of the ball.
On Thursday, former quarterback and current college football analyst Joel Klatt shared his weekly picks on his podcast, ” The Joel Klatt Show .” As expected, he took the time to dissect the Buckeyes-Ducks matchup and reached a conclusion for his prediction.
“It is plausible, and I would say even likely, that Ohio State will perform well on the ground. If they do that, they win the game. I think Ohio State goes on the road and gets the win. Ohio State is favored by 3.5… I actually think they cover that spread.” Klatt said.
