Prediction
The Oregon Ducks started this season with two narrow wins and since then, they have been dominant. Their only other close call was against then-third-ranked Ohio State, but the Ducks did enough to win that game. For this game, Oregon is more than a two-touchdown favorite, yet still looks to be the best betting option. They have one of the best quarterbacks in the country and have an offense that can score points in a hurry, not to mention a defense that has consistently been shutting down their opponents.
Michigan on the other hand, has been wildly inconsistent this season. Their quarterback play has overall been atrocious and with the news that Jack Tuttle is retiring, the Wolverines are even thinner at the quarterback position. This game is being played in Michigan, however, they have not shown anything to think they can keep this game close. For that reason, backing Oregon to cover will be our best bet.
Final Pick
Oregon Ducks -13.5 Alternate Spread (-141)
