Oregon at Ohio State: a coin flip nobody should pretend to call
Two playoff-caliber teams separated by almost nothing. Columbus gives the Buckeyes a sliver of an edge, but this early in the read the honest answer is a true pick'em with the margin for error blown wide open.
The read on Oregon at Ohio State is almost stubbornly boring. These look like two of the best teams in the country, with Ohio State a hair ahead, the kind of gap you could measure in less than a point. Add in playing at home in Columbus, worth a little over two points here, and you land on Ohio State by a field goal, give or take, with maybe a 56 percent chance of winning. Move it to a neutral field and even that nearly disappears: the edge shrinks to under a point and it's basically a 50-50 call. This is, by any honest accounting, a coin flip with a thumb resting lightly on the home side.
