Penn State vs Oregon Prediction 

Oregon comes into this matchup trying to snap their long losing streak, but they have scored fewer than 67 points in four of their last five. The Ducks are shooting 42% from the field and they have allowed at least 84 points in two of their last three. Penn State has split their last four games and they are coming off of a win against Washington on the road. The Nittany Lions are shooting 47% from the field, but they have scored at least 75 points in two of their last four. This should actually be a pretty good game, but I will take Oregon at home, as I think Bittle will make the difference.
