Ohio State enters the Rose Bowl as a slim 2-point favorite in this neutral-site showdown, and that line seems spot-on. If the spread ever shifted to Oregon +3, it’s likely bettors would jump at the opportunity to grab the Ducks with a full field goal, making it short-lived.
That said, my lean is toward Ohio State to win and cover the spread** in this highly anticipated rematch. What sets the Buckeyes apart is their elite defense, which has consistently stepped up in crucial moments throughout the season. Ohio State leads the nation in **points allowed per game (11.4) and yards allowed per game (242.6) while excelling in red-zone defense, holding opponents to scores on only 59.38% of trips inside the 20-yard line. This ability to limit damage in critical situations could prove decisive against Oregon.
Oregon, on the other hand, has a glaring weakness in the red zone, ranking 95th nationally in red-zone defense (86.84%). While the Ducks have plenty of offensive firepower, Ohio State’s superior depth and talent at skill positions give them a clear edge when it comes to converting scoring opportunities. If the Buckeyes' offense can capitalize on these advantages and their defense continues to play lights-out football, Ohio State should emerge victorious.
All signs point to a tightly contested battle, but Ohio State's defensive dominance and more polished execution in key moments tilt the scales in their favor. Expect the Buckeyes to secure the win and cover the narrow spread in what promises to be an exciting, high-stakes Rose Bowl matchup. Take Ohio State ATS
