The Oregon Ducks look to continue their surge into the College Football Playoff race on Saturday Afternoon as they take on the Michigan Wolverines. The two teams are heading in different directions, with Oregon coming off back-to-back wins while Michigan is just 2-4 in league play. While Dan Lanning may be coaching for Oregon's Playoff hopes, Kyle Whittingham might be coaching for his job as Michigan fans have started to call for his job.
While the game was billed as a potential clash between Playoff contenders in the preseason, there's still a ton to watch for, even if it isn't the biggest game of the season.

The Oregon Ducks opened the week as 10.5-point favorites, but as of Wednesday Morning, the line is shifting even further for the home team. Oregon is an 11.5-point favorite (-110) over the Wolverines and -500 favorites to win the game outright. As the underdog, Michigan is +385 to pull off the upset.

All odds and lines are subject to change
Injuries
Seemingly, anytime the Oregon Ducks get good news on the injury front, another player is lost, as last week marked the return of Jeremiah McClellan, but Teitum Tuioti has been ruled out for the season with a knee injury suffered against the Buckeyes. The initial injury reports for this game will be released on Wednesday night, when updates on the likes of Messiah Hampton, Jordon Davison, and others may be provided.
Announcers
FS1's trio of play-by-play announcer Tim Brando, color analyst Devin Gardner, and sideline reporter Josh Sims will be on the call for Saturday's showdown. The trio called Oregon's win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Michigan's coordinator change
The Michigan Wolverines will be facing the Oregon Ducks with a new offensive coordinator, as Kyle Whittingham fired the highest paid OC in the country, Jason Beck, after their loss to Michigan State. Longtime Kyle Whittingham assistant Jim Harding will serve as the interim offensive coordinator for the Wolverines.
