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, that could perhaps push the Ducks to the brink, provided MSU also reduces its turnovers. It’s just hard to imagine MSU winning.” Autzen Stadium against an Oregon team that, while not as impressive early on as some predicted, is still probably one of the top 15 teams in the country. I don’t know if MSU is ready to beat a team like that. But I would also be surprised if this wasn’t a little closer than the loss to the Buckeyes last week.

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

“Smith got the Spartans going early with the Chiles scoring early points and the defense keeping the Ducks from making big plays down the field. But in the second half, Gabriel and Co. make adjustments to get the ball moving, and Oregon’s defense – with a big play from Harmon – wear down the weakened MSU offensive line and hand the Spartans a third straight loss. “

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

“Michigan State University’s mistakes will come. In the four games against FBS teams – and 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 down – five in the last two games after being hit 33 times in the first three games – but unlike Michigan State, Gabriel still wasn’t anything special, the running game was solid and the offense seemed to be finding its rhythm to have found.

ESPN Matchup Prediction: ESPN Analytics predicts the Ducks will easily win Friday’s contest as Oregon has a 92.5% chance of beating Michigan State.
