Oregon and Indiana fans got a break. For their Friday, January 9 College Football Playoff rematch in Atlanta the announcers will be Will McDonough and Greg McElroy, two veterans who focus on the pictures and stories in front of them and come prepared, with no dogs allowed, no bristling animosities or agendas to distract them.
The game is a 4:30 p.m. PT kick from Mercedes Benz Stadium on ESPN, which has the rights to the rest of the playoffs. The Hoosiers are a four-point favorite. The over/under is 46.5 and the Moneyline is Oregon +150, Indiana -180.
It's a climate-controlled indoor stadium with a retractable roof and a FieldTurf playing surface, though the high that day is forecast to be 71 degrees, just a degree shy of the January 9th record set in 1949.
