Bleacher Report's Expert Picks for 2015 National Championship Game

Eric BowmanJan 9, 2015

The 2015 national championship game will kick off Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the No. 2 Oregon Ducks will battle the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes with everything on the line.

Few expected the Buckeyes to make it this far, but here they are, having beaten quality opponents with their third-string quarterback.

While Ohio State will need Cardale Jones to continue playing at a high level, the Buckeyes will truly be relying on their defense to win the first-ever College Football Playoff.

Stopping Marcus Mariota and the high-powered Oregon offense is no easy task. The Ducks are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. There's a reason they've been blowing out their opponents for several straight weeks now.

Our Bleacher Report experts have picked against the spread all season, and in addition to doing so one final time, we've also made a bold prediction and selected the game MVP.
