Oregon at Arizona College Football Betting Lines

Written November 20, 2009 by Kyle Hunter

Saturday evening’s game between the Oregon Ducks and the Arizona Wildcats is a game that has a whole lot riding on it. The Ducks are in the drivers seat for a Rose Bowl berth, but Arizona is one of the teams that still has a chance to make it too, so they definitely want to knock Oregon off in this huge game. This one is one of the Saturday night prime time games on ABC and it is definitely one of the biggest games of the weekend.

The Oregon Ducks have really turned this into a terrific season after such a terrible start at Boise State earlier this year. They have been good to those who have made football pickson them against the spread, going 7-2 against the spread this season. The offense has been hitting on all cylinders of late, especially the running game which is one of the top five in the country. LaMichael James has been a pleasant surprise for Oregon, rushing for 1,197 yards already on the season and getting an average of 7 yards per carry. Jeremiah Masoli is the signal caller for the Ducks, and Masoli has done a great job leading the offense. Masoli is a terrific runner himself, averaging over 6 yards per carry even when the lost yardage from sacks is accounted for. Masoli is also being very efficient with his passing game, throwing 11 touchdowns to just 3 interceptions on the season. For most of the season the defense has been great, although in the last 3 games they have given up 31 points per game. The Ducks defense will need to get back to their early season form in this one.

Arizona is unbeaten at home this year at 5-0, and they are looking to make it 6-0 with a huge win this weekend. Nick Foles has done a nice job at quarterback, completing a very healthy 70% of his passes on the year and throwing 13 touchdowns to just 6 interceptions. The running game has been very good too, which has kept the offense very balanced at Arizona. Keola Antolin and Nicholas Grigsby have been splitting the playing time at tailback, and both have been very effective. At wide receiver the Wildcats have five receivers with over 25 catches on the season, so they have plenty of targets to throw the ball to. The Arizona defense has been pretty good this year, and unlike Oregon they have actually gotten better in the last few games. The defense is allowing just 15 points and 252 total yards per game in the last 3 games.

The college football odds for this weekend show Oregon as a 6 point road favorite in this Pac 10 battle for the Rose Bowl. The posted total is set at 60 points. When making your college football picks this weekend consider these two trends: Oregon is 7-1 against the spread in their last 8 games, and Arizona is 11-3 against the spread in their last 14 home games.

The Oregon Ducks will definitely do their best to establish the running game early and often in this one. I’d be surprised if Arizona can shut down the run completely, but I also think Arizona will be able to move the football against Oregon’s defense. This game could definitely come down to who takes care of the football and which defense can make a timely stop.
