Oregon vs Michigan State predictions

Graham Couch, Lansing State Journal: Oregon 33, MSU 16

“I think MSU can be competitive in this game and, if the Spartans’ defensive front is better than Oregon’s offensive line, perhaps push the Ducks to the brink, provided MSU also cuts down on its turnovers. It’s just hard to imagine MSU winning in Autzen Stadium against an Oregon team that, while not as impressive out of the gate as some predicted, is still probably one of the top 15 teams in the country. I don’t know that MSU is ready to beat that sort of team on its home field. But I‘ll also be surprised if this isn’t a bit closer than last week’s loss to the Buckeyes.”

Chris Solari, Detroit Free Press: Oregon 31, Michigan State 17

“Smith has the Spartans revved up early, with Chiles delivering early scores and the defense keeping the Ducks from making big plays down the field. But in the second half, Gabriel and Co. make adjustments that get the ball moving, and Oregon’s defense — with a big game from Harmon — wear down the depleted MSU offensive line to send the Spartans to a third straight loss.”

Pete Fiutak, College Football News: Oregon 35, Michigan State 17

“The Michigan State mistakes will come. In the four games against FBS teams – and throwing out the scrimmage against Prairie View – the Spartans have turned it over three times in three of them and four times against Boston College. The penalties have slowed – five in the last two games after getting hit 33 times in the first three games – but there’s still nothing sharp about this Spartan team. Unlike Michigan State, Oregon has been ultra-consistent. Gabriel has been great, the running game solid, and the offense appears to have found its rhythm.”

ESPN Matchup Predictor: ESPN Analytics predicts the Ducks to win Friday's contest with ease as Oregon has 92.5% odds to beat Michigan State.
