Oregon vs Omaha Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with a .500 record to start the season, but Oregon is at home and they are a huge favorite. The Ducks are 6-1 at home this season and they have played much better over their last three games. Omaha has won four in a row and they have scored at least 79 in three straight, but two of their last three games were against non-D1 teams. I think Oregon has finally figured some things out and I like how they dominated Portland and UC Davis, so give me the Ducks here.
