1. Oregon covers, and then some

WynnBET currently has Oregon as a 28.5-point favorite on Saturday night against the Wildcats and that might seem steep for a conference battle, but it honestly might not be steep enough.

Arizona is that bad.

The Wildcats are 0-3 on the season and are fresh off a loss to Northern Arizona at home which is enough to really beat a team down mentally and emotionally. The Wildcats will have a tough time being motivated for this one after losing to Northern Arizona, but Jedd Fisch will have them ready. Unfortunately, they just don’t have the guys to compete here.

Oregon is going to come out strong and dominate this game from start to finish. CJ Verdell will rush for over 150 yards, the defense will force a few turnovers, Anthony Brown will get the job done before handing the reins to Ty Thompson in the second half, and Oregon will coast.

So about this 28.5-point spread. Yeah, Oregon is going to cover, and then some. I’m predicting a 30-40 point win for the Ducks here.
