First odds posted for No. 8 Indiana at No. 2 Oregon

At FanDuel Sportsbook odds have been set for the October 11 Big Ten showdown, No, 8 Indiana at No. 2 Oregon in Autzen Stadium.

The betting website tabs the Ducks as an early 10.5-point favorite. With two high-powered offenses, both among the national leaders in passing, the over/under is set at 51.5. On the moneyline, Indiana comes in at +330 and Oregon at -430.

Both teams are coming off tough road wins over the weekend and both teams have a bye this Saturday. The Hoosiers beat Iowa in Kinnick Stadium. Quarterback Fernando Mendoza, a transfer from Cal, connected with top target Elijah Surratt on a 49-yard touchdown pass with 1:28 to go in the fourth quarter to win 20-15.

The week before, IU destroyed No. 9 Illinois 63-10. Mendoza is second in the nation in passer rating this season, throwing 16 touchdowns with one interception. The Hoosier defense ranks fifth in the nation in scoring, allowing just 9.6 points per game and 4.21 yards per play.

The Ducks have the week off after besting then-No. 3 Penn State 30-24 in double overtime. Coaches will be on the road recruiting while the team heals and recovers from a bruising game.

After Saturday's emotional win as a 3.5-point underdog, Dan Lanning said, "Overtime was a different animal. Their guys, they fought. We talked all week; it’s about getting a cut. It’s death by 1,000 cuts. We had to get another cut and eventually that cut was going to be a jugular and that last interception was a jugular. It’s as proud as I’ve been of our team, playing well on both sides of the ball."

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore is now the frontrunner for the Heisman after completing 29-39 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns in the win over the Nittany Lions.

The Ducks have shown they can deal with adversity and a testing environment. Now they have to show they can deal with success.
