Betting on the Oregon Ducks
- Regular Season Record: 13-9
Oregon is now on a two-game win streak after beating the Colorado Buffaloes (75-69) last Thursday and the Utah Utes (68-56) last Saturday. Both those games occurred in Oregon’s home in Eugene. Speaking of which, Oregon also defeated the Wildcats at home on Jan. 14 to the tune of an 87-68 score.
The Ducks beat Arizona in that game thanks to their outside shooting, as they connected on 11 of 32 attempts from behind the arc. Oregon isn’t a particularly great 3-point shooting team this season, but it is No. 1 in Pac-12 play with 106.7 points per 100 possessions adjusted. It also tops in the league with a 51.9 eFG%. The total has hit the Over in six of Oregon’s last 10 games.
Betting on the Arizona Wildcats
- Regular Season Record: 19-3
Since that aforementioned loss to the Ducks, Arizona has gone unbeaten, going 4-0 SU along the way. The Wildcats’ most recent victims were the Washington Huskies in a 95-72 road win last Saturday. Against the Huskies, Arizona recorded an incredible 60.7 eFG%.
This Arizona team can really get buckets almost at will once it finds its groove. The Wildcats are sixth nationally with an average of 82.9 points per game and 13th with a 55.6 eFG%. Tommy Lloyd’s squad is 8-3 this season in Pac-12 play and has a 5-0 SU record against Top 25 teams.
The Wildcats, who have only lost just once in 12 home games this season so far, are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four outings overall.
JefeBet Prediction
Arizona is going to have its payback this week versus Oregon. Look for the Wildcats to find their offense early and take control of the game’s script right away.
Prediction: Arizona wins by at least 8 points.
