Oregon football is back in action on Saturday afternoon in the Midwest as the Ducks head to Madison to take on one of the trickier opponents in Big Ten play.
The Wisconsin Badgers are sitting at 5-4 with three games left to play and they need one win to reach bowl eliibility. What better way to secure a bowl berth than by upsetting the No. 1 team in the nation at a raucous Camp Randall Stadium?
Oregon has to be careful in this one because Wisconsin has what it takes to shock the Ducks, but the Badgers will need to play a near-perfect game.
This one won't be a cakewalk for Dan Lanning and Dillon Gabriel as Luke Fickell will have his guys ready to try and shock the nation.
If you're looking to bet on this one, I've got you covered. Here are the final odds, via DraftKings, as of Saturday morning.
Line: Oregon -14
Over/Under: 51
Moneyline: Oregon -535 | Wisconsin +400
Vegas believes Oregon wins this game, but it's not quite the blowout that we've seen from the Ducks over the past two months. This one will be closer than expected and it's because Camp Randall isn't an easy place to play and Fickell is a great coach. He's not just going to roll over and let the Ducks march into Madison and dominate.
I see Gabriel having a Heisman-like performance to get back into that race and the Ducks will fend off some early charges from the Badgers to coast to a fairly easy win on the road to improve to 11-0.
Final score: Wisconsin 20, Oregon 37
