Weekend Wagers

Oregon Ducks (-245) vs. Utah Utes (+200)

The Ducks head to Salt Lake for a massive matchup with potential playoff implications. Both teams are 6-1 and have a shot at the Pac-12 title if they keep up the wins.

Utah has been good, scratch that great, at home over the past couple seasons. They’re undefeated at the Rice-Eccles Stadium dating back to the 2020-2021 season.

Utah’s offense has come alive in the past few weeks, thanks in part to former safety, now running back Sione Vaki. He has an insane 9.3 yard average and two rushing TDs so far this year. He’ll be critical to a potential Utah win.

Junior Bryson Barnes, the backup to Heisman winner Cameron Rising, put up impressive numbers in the Utes’ win over USC, with four total touchdowns. He’s been delivering the ball accurately and making good decisions even under pressure. Utah will need him to keep that up against the Ducks.

The offense aside, Utah’s defense has been the shining star this season. They’ve been smothering runners in the backfield and forcing QBs into bad decisions all season.

Enter Bo Nix. He’s accurate and electric with the ability to extend plays and find receivers down field. He’ll be another huge test for the Utah defense. While the Utes were able to contain Caleb Williams fairly well, Nix has some more weapons on the edge and has been more accurate than Williams has over his career.

All that said, Nix hasn’t had to push his limits too much so far with two dynamic rushers like Bucky Irving and Jordan James. The foundation of Oregon’s offensive attack is on the ground and they’ll be going up against one of the nation’s best run defenses.

Despite the power of Oregon’s rushing attack, the ground game will be a big factor for the Utes. Oregon hasn’t been great at tackling runners in the open field, ranking 110th in broken tackles allowed. That leaves some room for the Utah rushers to take advantage between the hash marks.

Overall, the Ducks are a touchdown favorite with the O/U at 47.5. That’s a wide spread for a Utah team that held the Trojans offense in check, look for them to beat the spread here. Additionally, both teams have a potent offense, bet the over if you’re inclined to total wagers.

bet365 T&Cs

Both the bet365 First Bet Safety Net promotion and the $150 bet and get are limited to new customers in one of the five legal bet365 states — Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey, Ohio and Virginia — who are 21 or older.
