Tonight's the night. I decided to flip my prediction to MSU 38- Ducks 34. Got a whole 1 confidence point on it.

Oregon doesn't have a single matchup advantage anywhere on the field. I predict michigan state by double digits.

you should reexamine those match ups.

E. Lansing even though next to the State Capital has a small town Midwestern feel on the MSU campus. But they tailgate great. We spent time floating around, and got offered so many beers and brats from MSU fans that it was a struggle to climb to the upper deck, row ZZ (or somewhere in the lower stratosphere) to our seats. Tough loss, but we were treated well.

State has the better QB. Their O-line is miles ahead of Oregon's d-line. Oregon's o-line is rebuilding so states d-line has the advantage there. Oregon's skill positions may not be able to do much against Sparty's secondary if the line isn't taking care of business. Sparta wide receivers better than Oregons..

Oregon's D line is pretty good. Also would have to disagree on the receivers. Think the Ducks receivers have an advantage over State's secondary.

You're right. My last sentence cut off...meant Spartys receivers are probably better than Oregon's secondary, not better than Oregon's receivers

 

[scoutyjones2]

Need the Spartans to win this to make the OSU game in November worth something...

Lets go STATE!

MSU QB better but their WR still a question. Oregon QB still good and WR are very talented. My opinion both teams passing game have advantage to opponents secondary.
Oregon RB are very talented, O line isnt as rebuilt as you think. MSU D line very good. MSU still looking for a proven RB O line good. Oregon D line is pretty good, Armstead wasnt the whole line and he missed a few games. Run games will both be challenged but Oregon has the better overall run game.
Oregon kick and punt returns lead the nation over the last 5 or so seasons in scoring returns. Kicking has come up to. Special teams advantage oregon.
