Pick
I’m sticking with Oregon here. I’m sure Arizona would like some revenge after Oregon won the first meeting this season, and they may end up getting it, but this is a lot of points to give up to an Oregon team that’s finally healthy and has been playing well as of late with an Arizona team that’s been winning games but has had some close calls as of late. Oregon’s also had the bulk of the success between these two so give me the Ducks and the points here.
