Oregon vs Rutgers Prediction

Oregon is not only the more talented team on both sides of the ball, but it’s going to be motivated to rebound from that Indiana loss. Bad spot for Rutgers, who has lost its last 3 games and isn’t good defensively. Rutgers is also 2-10-3 ATS in its last 15 games as a double-digit underdog. Oregon has covered 7 of its last 10 games as a double-digit favorite. If teams like Iowa, Minnesota, and Washington can light up Rutgers, this has a chance to get bloody against Oregon. I’ll lay the points with the Ducks on the road.
