Why bet on the Oregon Ducks

It has been a very solid past few weeks for the Ducks (20-4, 9-2) as they come into this one riding a 6 game winning streak. Included in that impressive run were a pair of wins against ranked opponents, which is just part of the reason why the Ducks have now climbed all the way up to #11 in the national rankings. They have a 1.5 game lead atop the conference right now, and with just 1 game left against a currently ranked opponent, you certainly wouldn’t bet against them still being at the top when the regular season draws to a close. Oregon already has a win over California this season, but it was a good deal tighter than some might have expected. The Ducks are averaging 78.1 PPG, and are giving up 67.4 PPG.

Why bet on the California Golden Bears

After going through a stretch that saw them lose 5 out of 7 games, the Golden Bears (15-8, 5-5) were able to end their week on a bit of a high with a 76-61 win over Stanford. That should inject a little confidence into a team that has been sorely lacking it over the past few weeks. Also sure to inspire some confidence is the fact that the Golden Bears almost knocked off the Ducks in their own pond earlier this season, eventually going down 68-65 in that one. They know that they can keep things close against this Oregon team, and that with a little bit of a killer instinct, they might even snatch the win. California are averaging 74.3 PPG, and are giving up 66.7 PPG.

Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction

The Ducks are playing some great ball at the moment, and are very much worthy of their lofty ranking. The Golden Bears proved to be a tricky opponent last time out, and I think they will be again. The Duck win it in a close one, though.
