Oregon enters this matchup as 3-point home favorites, while the total sits 61.5. Due to their fast-paced offense, the Ducks are usually public darlings and this one is no different. Currently, 59% of bettors like the Ducks to cover the spread here.

Utah Betting Trends

Utah has been led by the stellar play of quarterback Cameron Rising.

The junior has stayed poised and confident in the pocket while operating the Utes offense to near perfection. Rising has thrown for over 2,200 yards while tossing 19 touchdowns and only 4 picks.

Rising has been supported by a dominant Utah ground game. Running back Travion Thomas has the lead the way with over 600 yards and 7 touchdowns for a Utes offense that averages 210 yards per contest.

Additionally, Utah finally has the offensive consistency to support its fantastic defense. The Utes are one of the more balanced teams in the country, ranking 22nd in both total offense and total defense.

On the other side of the football, the Utes know how to create chaos. Utah ranks 10th in the nation in sack percentage, with Van Fillinger leading the way with 5 sacks. A dominant front seven has created takeaways at opportune moments for this squad. If Utah wants to win this game, their front seven needs to dominate. Utah’s best game plan in this one is to stop the run and force Bo Nix into making bad decisions with the football.

Oregon Betting Trends

Bo Nix has been a revelation with the Oregon Ducks.

The junior pivot is completing nearly 70% of his passes for 2,775 yards and 24 touchdowns. Although questions remain regarding his decision-making and accuracy for the next level, Nix has been slinging the football all over the field. The Ducks average 42 points per game and have looked nearly unstoppable since their opening-week loss to Georgia.

However, the Oregon defense has struggled to get after opposing quarterbacks. Since their offense turns every game into a track meet, the Ducks defense is surrendering nearly 400 yards and 27 points per game. This is certainly a defense that Rising and the Utes offense can take advantage of.

That being said, the Ducks are always a tough out in Eugene. Oregon is a 6-1 against the spread in their last 7 home games.

Utah vs Oregon Prediction

Ultimately, this game will come down to whether or not the Utah defense can slow down Oregon’s high-octane offense.

However, the real value in this game lies on the total. Pac-12 after dark fans know these late-season matchups provide plenty of fireworks. Additionally, there are far too many betting trends to ignore.

The over has hit in five straight Utah vs Oregon meetings in Eugene. Moreover, the over is 7-3 in the last ten games these teams have played. On top of that, Ducks home games have gone over the total in nearly 69% of their last 100 home games.

Pick: Utah vs Oregon OVER 61.5 (-110)
