Sachs-
Everything points to take OhioSt:
Ohio State Buckeyes
12-1 ATS after 2 or more consecutive straight up wins 10-1 ATS after scoring 42 points or more last game 8-1 ATS off 4 or more consecutive overs
Oregon Ducks
6-5 ATS after 8 or more consecutive straight up wins 11-8 ATS after 4 or more consecutive wins against the spread 42-23 ATS after 2 or more consecutive wins against the spread
But I am leaning to the Ducks. Think that only a 10 day rest instead of the traditional month off before the bowl game will play into oregons "rhythm" factor. And the fact that all focus on on the loss of WR's for Oregon and no one is giving the ducks defense any love.
So leaning Ducks but haven't pulled the trigger as it's been a rough bowl and NFL playoffs.
Vance, Oregon crushed a mediocre FSU. It's amazing FSU didn't suffer at least 2 losses during the regular season. As the old saying goes, a good Defense will beat a good Offense most days of the week...think Seahawks over Broncos in the Super Bowl. Buckeyes D is legit. 5*'s across the board on that line. Good luck whichever way you go tonight
