Oregon isn&#8217;t quite in that stratosphere but is still scoring at a 35.0 PPG clip (22nd in the NCAA). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of ways to speak kindly of the Buckeyes&#8217; offence. They have &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A veteran quarterback averaging 9.6 yards\/attempt on a 71.5% completion rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two running backs averaging more than 7.5 yards\/rush<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A receiver with a first-round draft grade (and two more that will likely have first-round grades in &#8217;26 and &#8217;27)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The over is 3-2 in Buckeyes games so far, but they haven&#8217;t been pushed by an opposing offence. Oregon should be able to change that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a disconcerting season opener against Idaho, the Ducks have rebounded to score 30-plus points in four straight games. Maybe transfer quarterback Dillon Gabriel needed some time to settle in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gabriel&#8217;s passing volume is down since the Idaho game, but Oregon&#8217;s run game has stepped up to create a more balanced attack. In their past four games, the Ducks are averaging 5.1 yards\/rush with eight scores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the two teams, only Oregon has faced another reputable offence so far, courtesy of No. 17 Boise State. In that matchup in Eugene, the Ducks won a barn-burner, 37-34.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Ohio State has scored 35-plus points in all five games and cleared this line once on its own (a 56-0 win over Western Michigan).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-c1e817ca-a7f4-4be8-8332-7ac0c6f20f4b\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vanderbilt +13.5 (-130):<\/strong> Vanderbilt knocked off then-No. 1 Alabama last week, after which a bunch of students marched the goalposts down Broadway and deposited them in the Cumberland River. As they should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mention that to say that this week&#8217;s road game against Kentucky is a readymade hangover game. But if I can back the Commodores while banking nearly two touchdowns, I&#8217;ll happily do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vandy is 4-1 ATS this year and has covered this number in all five games. That includes losing by a field goal on the road against No. 21 Missouri and beating Virginia Tech outright as a 13-point underdog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kentucky did almost upset Georgia, but it has only covered this number once in its past four games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>NCAA picks made at 11:30 a.m. on 10\/11\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend was a college football masterclass, and there are some matchups this Saturday that should keep the good times rolling.
