Dan Lanning’s first season in Oregon was a step back in the right direction for the Ducks football program. Last year, Oregon went 10-3 overall and finished tied in second place in the conference. The Ducks got some good news when Bo Nix decided to return for another season instead of testing the 2023 NFL Draft waters.
With all of the conference realignment talk, there is a lot that is up in air about what will go on in the future with Oregon. The Ducks are hoping to showcase why they should be attractive to other Power 5 leagues. Here’s a look at what to expect from Oregon in the 2023 season.
Let’s break down Oregon this year. Here’s the preview for your college football betting lines to win the NCAA National Championship.

Nix was a Perfect Fit
Nix’s team at Auburn wasn’t what he hoped for. For whatever reason, Nix was never able to live up to his potential with the Tigers. However, at Oregon last year, Nix blossomed, setting career-highs in passing yards (3,593) and touchdowns (29).
Replicating the success from last season will be important for the Ducks to have another successful season. Oregon did lose six players to the NFL Draft , including two offensive linemen.
Oregon Gets Chance to Ease into the Schedule
The Ducks won’t have to worry about being in deep waters too early in the season. After opening the season with FCS opponent Portland State, Oregon will get its biggest challenge when it travels to Lubbock, Texas, to take on the Red Raiders. Texas Tech was a solid program last season, finishing with an 8-5 record and victory over Ole Miss in the Texas Bowl.
Oregon will also take on a Hawaii program that struggled mightily. The Ducks also will open up conference play on Sept. 23 at home against Colorado. The Buffaloes are a program with a lot of hype with Deion Sanders taking over, but hasn’t proven anything yet.
October and November will Go a Long Way
The five-game stretch between Oct. 14 and Nov. 11 will say a lot about how Oregon’s season will go. The Ducks will have to travel to take on a talented Washington team in the first game of the stretch. After a home date with Washington State Oct. 21, the Ducks also will travel to Utah to take on the defending conference champion Utes Oct. 28 in Salt Lake City.
Oregon will also take on highly-regarded USC Nov. 11 in Oregon.
Oregon Ducks Odds to Win
Oregon is expected to be competitive again this season. The Ducks have an over/under win total of 9.5. Oregon has the second-best odds of winning the Pac-12 at +300. USC is the favorite at +170.
Oregon Season Prediction
The Ducks have seven home games and will have several ranked opponents to take on during the road. Oregon’s offense should be able to move forward effectively by returning an experienced Nix. While there are several potential pratfalls, the Ducks should be able to find enough offense to get over the win total.
