Ducks Spotlight

The Oregon Ducks finished their regular season in terrible fashion, taking another beating from the Utah Utes in the Pac 12 championship game as 3-point underdogs. The Duck’s offense ranks 49th in points per game, 92nd in pass yards, 26th in rush yards, and 39th in yards per play. Defensively, the Ducks rank 53rd in points allowed, 73rd in pass yards allowed, 32nd in rush yards allowed, and 39th in yards per play.


Sooners Spotlight

The Oklahoma Sooners dropped their final regular season game to their interstate rivals, the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Big 12 championship. The Sooner’s offense ranks 12th in points per game, 45th in pass yards, 54th in rush yards, and 8th in yards per play. Defensively, the Sooners rank 51st in points allowed, 93rd in pass yards allowed, 23rd in rush yards allowed, and 72nd in yards per play.


Final Say

Oregon finished the season going 4-3 ATS in their last seven, but Oklahoma has been playing solid football as well going 4-2-1 ATS in their last seven games. Oklahoma has also owned the Pac 12 lately going 6-1 SU in their last seven meetings with them. They are also 4-2 ATS in their last six games as favorites, while they have gone 4-0 ATS in their last four games on a neutral site. This should be a competitive outing, but if Oklahoma was smart they’d watch film of Oregon’s matchups with Utah. Utah has shown the blueprints to really disrupt this Oregon rushing attack, so expect Oklahoma to have taken notice. Oregon does have a +2 turnover differential in their last four games, but Oklahoma has been better owning a +6 differential. Back Oklahoma to shake off their heart breaking loss to Oklahoma State and rebound with a bowl victory over Oregon.


Pick: Oklahoma Sooners -6.5
