- Over/Under: 57.5
Oregon bounced back after opening the college football season with a 49-3 loss to national champion Georgia. They are coming off a 70-14 win over Eastern Washington.
In that game, the offense did not stop generating, scoring a couple of touchdowns in the first quarter, four more in the second, three in the third and one more in the last quarter. Also, to be applauded is the offensive effort that kept the opposition scoreless in the first and fourth periods.
JefeBet Prediction
Although it is expected to be a closer game as both are considered to be in what could be the top 25 of the season, Oregon looks like a favorite to win at home.
Prediction: Oregon wins by a score of 33-28.
