00:00Well, we have a banger coming up this week, and it's USC, and this matters not just for getting into the CFP, but also, you know, USC having a loss to Notre Dame.
00:11They only have one conference loss, and what does that do if Oregon loses it and they only have, you know, two losses on the year?
00:16Could this be a way of getting four?
00:19What do you have going on with USC at Oregon?
00:23So, I'm out here in California now.
00:25I do not have the access to the FanDuel Sportsbook that I once did, which greatly disappoints me, because as soon as this line opened up in the late hours of Saturday night, I said to myself, I am laying the hammer on the Oregon Ducks.
00:38Oregon in Onsen in this matchup against USC is going to win by double digits.
00:43Well, the line was 7-7.5 when I saw it open on the lovely FanDuel Sportsbook.
00:49Again, being in California, I do not have legal access to that.
00:52So, let's just not throw myself under the bus here, but let's say I was looking at other odds here in the great state of California, and when I first saw the bet that I could potentially make, although I wouldn't, allegedly, it was at 10 in favor of Oregon.
01:09I threw my phone on the couch, and she thought that something was gravely wrong.
01:13I was just mad that I lost value on a 7.5 number, now at 10, because I expect Oregon to win this game by at least 10.
01:20Is it the best bet to make at this moment?
01:22It's not at a half on FanDuel.
01:24I'm not so sure.
01:25I really do think, though, Oregon dominates this game with physicality.
01:29The Ducks have not necessarily been credit for possessing under Tosh LaCroix on the defensive side in the four years under Dan Lanning.
01:36These two teams, despite being former Pac-12 foes, have only met once with both Lanning and Lincoln Riley at the helm of these programs in the last four years.
01:44It was in 2023, late in the year, Bo Nix versus Caleb Williams inside Autzen.
01:49Oregon won that game by nine.
01:51I am really believing in this Oregon team being one of the best in the country, despite the resume playing out the way it has for the Ducks.
02:00Not all that spectacular at the moment.
02:03Oregon only has two wins against FBS teams currently above .500.
02:07It's Iowa and Minnesota.
02:09Now, I think the Iowa win in Kinnick is still a great victory, but it's not a ranked win anymore, and it's not necessarily the most stellar of an eight- or nine-win team on the other side.
02:19This is Oregon's chance to prove they are one of the best teams in the Big Ten, one of the best teams in college football, and certainly are deserving of being in the college football playoff.
02:28I am trusting the physicality of the Ducks to dominate this game at home in Eugene and win by double digits.
