The Oregon Ducks (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12) and Utah Utes (6-1, 3-1) meet Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Oregon vs. Utah odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Ducks rebounded from their 36-33 loss at Washington with a solid 38-24 victory over Washington State in Eugene last weekend, although UO failed to cover the 19.5-point number. It was Oregon’s 1st non-cover of the season after a 6-0 against the spread (ATS) run to open.
The Utes received bad news last week when they learned both QB Cam Rising and TE Brant Kuithe would take medical redshirts, and neither will play in 2023. Despite that bad news, Utah still was able to focus and grab a 34-32 road win against USC. The Utes are 4-2-1 ATS overall, and the Over has cashed in each of the past 2 outings.
