Oregon is 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a win while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall.
Pick
I’m sticking with Oregon here. The Ducks have flat out owned Utah over the years, riding a double-digit head-to-head win streak coming into this game and now that the Ducks appear to be finally healthy for the most part, I’m said about Oregon before that when they are all clicked and cohesive, they’ve got a team that could make a deep NCAA tournament run. I just haven’t been all that impressed with what I’ve seen from Utah to this point, so I’ll lay the points with Oregon in this one.
