| Oregon Ducks | Arizona Wildcats |
Oregon had its Pac-12 title hopes revitalized by Stanford’s loss last week to USC. Now, the Ducks head to Arizona as 17.5-point favorites.
The Wildcats own a potent running attack behind RB Ka’Deem Carey. They’ll need Carey to have a big game to help Arizona keep the ball away from Oregon’s prolific offense.
The Ducks are averaging 50.9 points and have been held under 40 only once, in the 26-20 loss to Stanford.
Oregon has beaten Arizona in seven of the last eight meeting, including last season’s 56-31 road win. Since 1995, the record is even more one-sided (14-3 SU according to our NCAA database). But beware Arizona and their 13-3-1 ATS run in 17 as home underdogs since 2004.
The Wildcats have covered the spread in eight of their last 10 games as home underdogs.
This season the Wildcats are 6-4 overall and 4-5-1 ATS against the number, while the Ducks are 8-1 and 7-2 ATS. As for the totals, Arizona is 3-7 on the OU, and Oregon is 5-4.
