Perhaps NFL scouts have their knocks on him, but Mariota brings a combination of athleticism and poise that has thoroughly captured college football.<\/p>\n<p>Incredibly, Ohio State&#8217;s path here is an even more compelling storyline. The Buckeyes, ranked fourth in the nation and a team that had its validity questioned with Baylor and TCU on deck, pulled a huge upset on coach Nick Saban&#8217;s Crimson Tide.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Alabama has won three National Titles in the past five seasons; the Tide contends literally every season.<\/p>\n<p>The SEC has been recognized as the nation&#8217;s supreme conference for a long time and not many people gave Ohio State a chance to win &#8211; OSU was more than a touchdown underdog going into the Sugar Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Ohio State also grabbed the victory rolling out its third-string QB. Cardale Jones was making just his second career start and while he wasn&#8217;t perfect, he did enough to beat the Big, Bad Wolf that is the SEC&#8217;s representative.<\/p>\n<p>Buckeyes RB Ezekiel Elliott looked like a world-beater in New Orleans this week; if he duplicates his 200+ yard performance, Oregon&#8217;s defense will struggle.<\/p>\n<p>That has been irrelevant this year, mostly, due to Oregon&#8217;s explosive offense with Mariota at the controls.<\/p>\n<p>I think Oregon is the deserving favorite in this match-up, not because the Buckeyes don&#8217;t have the talent to win this game, but because in beating Alabama this week, Ohio State may have won its championship.<\/p>\n<p>The Buckeyes were 0-10 against SEC opponents (thanks to a vacated win versus Arkansas in 2011) and Ohio State have been especially snakebitten by elite SEC West squads like &#8216;Bama and LSU.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63739&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8217;]<\/p>\n<p>This Sugar Bowl victory was a massive statement for head coach Urban Meyer, the program and the entire Big Ten Conference. Consequently, the Buckeyes might (even subconsciously) feel like they&#8217;ve already slayed the dragon.<\/p>\n<p>The problem being that the dragon remaining is a slick athlete with a Heisman Trophy to his name, guiding a team with a high-speed offensive juggernaut built by current Philadelphia Eagles head man Chip Kelly.<\/p>\n<h3>NCAAF National Title Game Betting Trends:<\/h3>\n<p>* OSU are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 vs. Pac-12.<br \/>\n* Over is 21-5 in OSU last 26 games overall.<br \/>\n* Over is 16-5 in OSU last 21 games on fieldturf.<br \/>\n* Over is 7-2-1 in ORE last 10 vs. Big Ten.<br \/>\n* Over is 6-2 in ORE last 8 non-conference games.<br \/>\n* ORE are 20-7 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.<\/p>\n<h3>Oregon 38, Ohio State 24<\/h3>\n<p>Ohio State has already accomplished much, but I like Oregon to emerge victorious in north Texas on Jan. 12.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our <a title=\"College football Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/ncaaf.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated College football Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ducks vs Buckeyes Pick NCAA Football Bowl Season Betting action sees the Oregon Ducks taking on the Ohio State Buckeyes on Monday January 12th at AT&amp;T Stadium.
