The team that wins this game will cover the number.
That team will be the team that has been #1 in the country all year long.
You know why you get blowouts in championship games? Because teams that shouldn't be there get there.
Trust me sports fans, Penn State shouldn't even be here if Ryan Day and Ohio State doesn't pull off arguably the biggest choke job in College football history.
He beats Michigan, and they are playing here but, for the 4th straight year he loses to the Wolverines and is probably going to lose his job right along with it.
And trust me, the Nittany Lions, who's only loss to those Buckeyes above, should have 2 other losses on their resume.
They should never have beaten USC and they never should have beaten Minnesota on the road 2 weeks ago but the Gophers let them off the hook.
Of the 12 teams Penn State has played only one can be compared to the athleticism that Oregon brings to the table and that is the USC Trojans.
At home, USC led 20-6 at the half and 30-23 late in the 4th before losing in OT 33-30.
The same can't be said about Oregon.
They slept their way through an opening game at home over Idaho, where as a 49 point favorite won in a stunning result 24-14.
They beat Ohio State at home 32-31, something Penn State couldn't do and their other close call was the 16-13 win at Wisconsin.
With exception of their 3 point win at home over Boise State, their other 8 wins have been by margin of 3 touchdowns or more.
Indoors, on this fast track, Penn State will not be able to hang tonight for 60 minutes against the speed of Oregon.
Lastly, since 2016, head coach James Franklin has had 17 games versus teams in the top 5 and he is 1-16 SU. OUCH.
That in itself tells you the right side of this game is the Oregon Ducks as we watch James Franklin implode yet again in front of the entire world.
Oh, and goes to 1-17 SU versus top 5 teams since 2016.
I will be shocked if Oregon doesn't win this game by double digits.

My ratings system is pretty simple. Plays are generally rated anywhere between 25 and 100 Dimes to aide clients in money management. However, when I sense an opportunity to go for the jugular or when I'm on a roll and can afford to take shots with a bankroll that's been steadily growing, you better believe I'm going for it.
Where do I start? Let's just say Hollywood would not have made a movie based on my life as a professional sports handicapper, "Two For the Money," if I wasn't a winner!
"Two For The Money" is all about me, the guy who is 25-4-2 lifetime with his Super Bowl selections!
Al Pacino plays my boss, Renee Russo plays his wife and Matthew McConaughey plays me. "Two For The Money", debuted in theaters in October of 2005 and is widely available on DVD and you'll always find it playing on one of the major streaming services.
I was born in Midland, Michigan in 1963. Sports was always my first love and I was a great athlete in high school, lettering in two sports, but my dreams of playing college ball were cut short by a knee injury.
With my playing days over, I decided to see the world by joining the Navy in 1981, getting stationed aboard the Battleship New Jersey, where I eventually became the youngest sailor to ever qualify as a master helmsman in the ship’s history.
After being honorably discharged in 1984, I traveled the world for three more years before ending up in Las Vegas in 1987. It was there I entered the sports handicapping industry, building my reputation by validating my opinion to customers worldwide. The daily highs and lows of competing against the Vegas oddsmakers filled the void left by the end of my basketball career.
In 1989, I joined a nationally-known sports service based on the East Coast and immediately embarked on one of the most historic winning streaks ever witnessed in the handicapping world. After an incredible six-year run, I just had a feeling my life story would make a fascinating movie. But, with that decision came the realization that my dream would only be fulfilled by leaving the business.
Despite sitting atop the handicapping world, I abandoned the industry in 1996, moving to Los Angeles in order to turn my movie aspirations into a reality. I networked my way in as a caddy at the prestigious Riviera Country Club, knowing the job would eventually put me in touch with a director, writer, or producer that could take my dream to the silver screen. After caddying for the likes of President Clinton, Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise, along came Dan Gilroy, whom I pitched the movie idea of a lifetime after he made a fifty-foot putt. Six years later, with Matthew McConaughey playing Brandon Lang, "Two For The Money" was born.
A funny thing happened along the way though. I had a movie about my life in production, but something was missing. It was this business. The emotion, the adrenaline rush you get every football weekend with it all coming down to the Monday Night Game. No other feeling in the world can compare to that I get from knowing people are betting hundreds of thousands of dollars on my opinion, and then having me come through in the clutch when nobody else could.
With the movie deal wrapped up, I returned to the business, making my online debut in August of 2004.
This is the ONLY place you can get ALL my plays, right here
There is no 800 phone service; no 900 numbers.
Here at my website, it's just me and you. I'm forced to validate my opinion every day I release a big play. I win, and you're happy. I lose too often, and you're gone. But, at the end of the day, it's just me and you.
Understand something right now: I am not going to win every day, every week or every month. But, I can put you on the right side of more games that you've ever been on in your gambling life, and by doing that, you will make money.
By the way, if you're curious about whether my record is legitimate, let me assure you it is, and let me explain why: You see I offer long-term packages of 7, 30, 60 and 100 days. Anyone who buys a package gets EVERY play I release, day in, day out. Now, if I lied, even once, how many customers do you think I'd have remaining?
See, that's the beauty of the Internet. I don't need some phony monitoring service to document my wins and losses. Instead, you - my customers - do that for me. You validate my opinion and assure my credibility. And that's why we're a team.
Yes, the movie was intoxicating. I mean, who wouldn't want to have a major motion picture made about their life? The countless radio and TV interviews are incredible, too. But, no matter how much I tell you about what Hollywood is like, remember that my focus remains on doing what I do best, and that's making people money.
Listen, they only make movies about winners - and that's me!
