Weber State vs Oregon Prediction 

Oregon comes into this matchup ranked #9 in the country and they only have one loss on the year, which came against UCLA by two points. The Ducks have wins over Texas A&M, San Diego State, Alabama, and USC. Weber State only has three wins against D-1 teams so far this year and while their stats are very similar to Oregon, the Ducks have played a much more difficult schedule. Take Oregon to cover this big number at home.
