Week 6 of college football is set to ignite with a high-stakes clash between the undefeated Oregon Ducks and the Michigan State Spartans on Friday night.

The Ducks are currently riding a wave of success with a 4-0 record, following their impressive 34-13 victory against UCLA in Week 5. While the offense is still finding its footing, quarterback Dillon Gabriel's contributions are steering the team toward a promising season. Gabriel's 81% completion rate, 1,192 yards, nine touchdowns, and one interception so far this season all point to a team that has the potential to make a significant impact in the College Football Playoff conversation.

Michigan State is currently facing a formidable challenge as they strive to break a two-game losing streak. The Spartans' recent 38-7 defeat to Ohio State was a setback, with their quarterback, Aiden Chiles, struggling to ignite the offense. He managed a 68% completion rate for 167 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. The Spartans have had a tough start to the season, with a staggering 13 turnovers in the first five games.

Here are current predictions, odds, and how to watch Week 6's Friday night game between Michigan State and Oregon.

ESPN: Oregon has a 92% chance to beat Michigan State

College Football News: Oregon 35, Michigan State 17

Pete Fiutak writes: "The Michigan State mistakes will come. In the four games against FBS teams - and throwing out the scrimmage against Prairie View - the Spartans have turned it over three times in three of them and four times against Boston College. The penalties have slowed - five in the last two games after getting hit 33 times in the first three games - but there’s still nothing sharp about this Spartan team. Unlike Michigan State, Oregon has been ultra-consistent. Gabriel has been great, the running game solid, and the offense appears to have found its rhythm."

Covers: Oregon Ducks

Rob Paul: "Oregon’s fourth in the country in SP+ on offense and Dillon Gabriel seems to get better with each start for the Ducks. He leads the country in adjusted completion rate (88.7%) and has just two turnover-worthy plays this season. With the offensive line looking stronger after a slow start, Gabriel should have plenty of time to find Tez Johnson or Traeshon Holden for big plays. And the running game might be even better with Jordan James ranking 16th in the country in 10-plus-yard runs (14). Even if Oregon’s offense gets off to an iffy start, Michigan State just doesn’t have the offensive talent to take advantage."

Doc Sports: Take the Ducks

Staff writes: "The Ducks are allowing 18.8 points per game, ranking them 38th in the country. Oregon has yielded a total of 448 rushing yards (112.0 yards/game) in addition to 6 touchdowns via the rush for the season. This season, they have allowed 75 total points. They have given up 2 touchdowns through the air as well as 154.8 yards/game, which puts them in 16th in Division 1. The Ducks defense has taken the field for 235 plays, which is 10th in D-1. Their defense has 0 fumbles recovered and 4 interceptions so far this year."
