00:00All right, Oregon now up to 14.5 point favorites this week at Ann Arbor in Michigan.

00:10We thought, Bill, that this was going to be the game of the year in college football.

00:13I mean, looking back at the schedule at the beginning of the season, you know, the games

00:18that Oregon had to play, Ohio State and Michigan, were really those two that we were looking

00:22at.

00:23And this is nowhere close to that.

00:24I guess the only, Michigan, I don't believe, has any chance to beat Oregon.

00:29But can they keep it close?

00:30Can they make this a respectable game?

00:31Maybe use some of the game plan that Ohio State had?

00:35Maybe.

00:36And I think so.

00:37The thing to watch here is that if they run 60 plays or less, that means they're in the

00:43game.

00:44Michigan can play keep away a little bit with the running game, keep Oregon off the field,

00:47play and lean into their defense.

00:49This is Oregon's toughest road game to date.

00:51It's not playing at Purdue.

00:52It's a two time zone game at Michigan.

00:55I think the Wolverines hang around.

00:56Kitchen sink game for them, a little bit of momentum off the Michigan State win, but

01:00it's not going to be enough to stop Oregon, especially if Will Johnson doesn't play in

01:04the game.

01:05So I like it right on the line.

01:06I'm going to take Michigan to cover though.
