Dakorien Moore and Jordon Davison are warming up for Oregon, suited up, but the betting line changed dramatically in the last two hours before the Orange Bowl.

Texas Tech shifted from a 2.5-point underdog to a 1.5-point favorite as late action completely changed the point spread. Generally, the late money is the smart money.

Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton is moving well, looking recovered from his leg injury. On ESPN, Kirk Herbstreit, Pat McAfee and Nick Saban all picked the Ducks to win.

The game is televised on ESPN beginning at 9 a.m. PT. The winner advances to the Peach Bowl semifinal.
