Utah Utes -3
The Oregon Ducks will travel to Rice-Eccles Stadium to take on the Utah Utes this Saturday night and as I think Oregon is bit overrated, I think Utah has no trouble covering this small home spread.
Oregon might come into this game ranked 3rd in the country and currently has a spot in the CFB Playoffs, however, this is a team that outside their win at Ohio State early in the season, haven’t been overly impressive in my eyes. Oregon had trouble pulling out victories at UCLA & Washington and we’ve seen their defense struggle at times against opposing passing attacks as they are allowing 248.0 passing yds/g.
Utah is coming off a less than impressive win at Arizona, however, Utah is a team not to be messed at when they are at home. Utah has looked great offensive since Cameron Rising took over at QB and have one of the better RB’s in the Pac-12 in Tavion Thomas.
The Ducks are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a road underdog & 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win. The Utes are 4-1 ATS in their last 15 home games vs. a team with a winning road record & 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win.
Utah is averaging 40.8 ppg over their last six games and as I think Oregon is going to struggle in this one, I think Utah wins this one by a TD and has no trouble covering this spread.
Brett’s Pick Utah Utes: -3 -115
