The Ohio State Buckeyes displayed near-perfection in their two playoff wins, destroying the Tennessee Volunteers and beating the Oregon Ducks 41-21 in Pasadena. Against the Ducks, the Buckeyes delivered a masterclass in domination, with the team advancing to a 34-0 lead behind a flawless fusion of offensive precision and defensive suffocation.
This was the best two quarters Ohio has produced in decades, causing turnovers, subduing Oregon’s offensive unit and exploiting mismatches. Although the Ducks put together 15 points over a brief stretch that spanned the second and third quarters. They added a late, insignificant touchdown, to gain absolute control of the game.

- 1XBet Over/Under: Under 53.5
- 1XBet Moneyline: 2.9
One in-season loss to Georgia and another in the SEC Championship, stopped the Longhorns from becoming the first team in conference history to win on their first attempt. However, a 5-seed in the CFP and a home playoff match against Clemson allowed them to come to DKR. At the Peach Bowl in Atlanta, Texas’ offense awakened with Mathew Golden recording 7 catches for 149 yards and a receiving TD. Meanwhile, Quinn Ewers ended with 322 yards and 3 TDs.
Texas is the only SEC team left in the playoff after the Georgia Bulldogs lost to Notre Dame and Ohio State beat Tennessee in the First Round. The Longhorns’ success is thanks to a defensive unit that beats the best in college football.
MatchPlug Prediction For Ohio State Buckeyes VS Texas Longhorns
The Buckeyes offensive line, which dominated in pass protection, will give Howard enough time to attack deep, especially late in the match when defenses falter. Ohio has already scored 42 and 41 points in their playoff games, while the Longhorns delivered 39 in a double-overtime fixture against Arizona State and 38 against Clemson.
Final Prediction: Over 53.5.
