00:00And the team that checks in at number three in the AP top 25

00:06and with the second best place to win the Big Ten title. That's

00:10the newcomers from Eugene, Dan Lanning, and the Ducks. Oregon

00:13at a two to one number. Oregon also a hefty favorite today,

00:17Joe, in their opener against FCS Faux in Idaho. A Vandals team

00:22that has made the FCS postseason each of the past two

00:25years but a forty-four and a half point underdog today

00:27inside Autzen Stadium. It's Oregon's debut as a Big Ten

00:32program. How does it look today for the Ducks? Well, I think

00:34there's no doubt Oregon wins. They dominate Idaho straight up

00:38fifty-two, three, and four in regards to the meetings. They

00:41have a twenty-three game winning streak against the Vandals and

00:44they have a new quarterback in Dylan Gabriel that transfers in

00:47thirty touchdowns, six interceptions, and an offense

00:50that averaged 184 rushing yards per game. I think there's no

00:54doubt they win. I would lean to the cover in this matchup and

00:57that they go over the total cap. Biggest thing for me too is

01:00that nobody talks about it. We talk about Bo Nixon's

01:03progression last year. That offensive line only allowed

01:06five total sacks. Yeah. The dominant union, if they run the

01:09football today, it's gonna be lights out. My take on this

01:12game is simple. I I know some people will be upset about it.

01:15Good riddance to the Pac-12. When I saw that this game was on

01:18Big Ten Network, I was out of this world excited. I actually

01:21get to watch this game. Yeah. Instead of not being able to

01:24watch top teams in the country like Oregon, like USC, this is

01:29absolutely wonderful. I know realignment has people scared.

01:33Yeah. I get it but in this instance alone, what a blessing

01:36that we can watch this game. The Ducks, the second best

01:38scoring offense in the country last year averaging better than

01:4144 points per game. Second best total offense put up more than

01:45531 yards. Dylan Gabriel, the new quarterback is the Heisman

01:49Trophy favorite entering 2024.
