The Call: our Oregon vs Michigan State score prediction
1 for 1 on winners. 10 points off on the scores.Oregon is more talented but late November road games in the Big Ten are never easy. The weather and the rivalry week distraction could keep it closer than expected in the first half.

How to Watch · FOX
Do not have FOX?
FOX is a broadcast network, so this one is free. An indoor HDTV antenna picks up FOX over the air at no monthly cost, and Eugene and Portland both have strong signal. That beats paying for a streaming package you would only use for one game. Note: local FOX availability varies by market.
If you would rather stream it: Fubo carries FOX too.
