While it was a win, it didn't quite feel like it for Oregon football in Week 1.

The Ducks held on to beat an FCS team by just 10 points in the opener and you could tell that no one was really happy with the result. Obviously you take a win any way you can get it, but there's no joy in barely squeaking by an FCS squad in the season opener as the No. 3 team in the country.

Oregon will now play host to one of the toughest Group of Five teams in the country in the form of Boise State who should present a tougher test for the Ducks.

Did Oregon just get caught looking ahead to Boise State in Week 1? It's possible. We'll find out on Saturday night.

What are the odds heading into Saturday night's game?

Moneyline: Oregon -1100 | Boise State +700

As you can see, Oregon is a major favorite and deservedly so. While the Ducks did fall to No. 7 in the Week 2 rankings, they're still one of the best teams in the country and they'll be playing with something to prove. Beating an FCS team by just 10 was disappointing for just about everyone and you'll see Dan Lanning let Dillon Gabriel loose.

I'd be surprised if the Ducks don't win by at least two touchdowns and I'd probably bet that they cover to make up for last week's disappointing showing.

I'm going with a final of 45-24 in favor of the Ducks.
