For the third straight week, the Cardinals will face a Top-25 team in the nation after losing last week to Washington by a 22-40 slate. For their part, the Ducks already overcame the first week’s loss to Georgia and strung together a three-game winning streak by beating Washington State 44-41.

The schedule has not been kind to Stanford, as they will play Oregon for the third straight game against programs ranked among the nation’s best, losing the previous two.
After scoring 41 goals against Colgate in the Week 1 win, the Cardinal offense has been slowed by good defenses from USC and Washington. Against the Trojans, four turnovers were the key, while against the Huskies the ground game was totally ineffective with 86 yards. That’s why their aerial attack, led by quarterback Tanner McKee, will be vital against Oregon’s defense.
On the defensive side of the ball, things haven’t gone Stanford’s way the past two weeks either, accepting more than 470 total yards in each of those two weeks. A real danger considering how well the Ducks have attacked through the air this season.
Betting on the Oregon Ducks
- Regular Season Record: 3-1
- Unibet Spread: -17.0
- Moneyline: -714
- Over/Under: 63.5 Points
After getting crushed by Georgia in week one, the Ducks didn’t let their heads drop. After a 22-point comeback in the final four minutes of the game against Washington State last week, they have now won three straight.
In addition to moving them to 13th among the nation’s best, the victory helped Oregon confirm the good momentum of its quarterback Bo Nix, who after a disastrous game against Georgia, has a 75 % pass completion rate in the three victories, with almost 1,000 yards thrown, 10 touchdown passes and just one interception.
The doubts for the Ducks lie in their defense. That one allowed 41 points to the Cougars including 375 yards through the air, an area of the game where the Cardinal are also strong. If they can stop McKee, Stanford’s ground offense is not powerful enough to trouble the home defense.
JefeBet Prediction
Oregon not only has the longest active home winning streak in the FBS with 18 games won, but also has 15 consecutive home wins over conference opponents. That performance, plus the fact that it has a much more compact team, is reason enough to lean towards the Ducks.
Stanford has not looked good at all against teams inside the nation’s Top-25 and Oregon has been one of them for quite some time now.
Prediction: Oregon Spread.
