Why bet on Oregon versus North Carolina?

Maye is unstoppable. But so is Oregon quarterback Bo Nix. The Auburn transfer was as good as it gets in his first season playing for the Ducks.

Nix completed over 71% of his passes. Bo also led the team with 14 rushing touchdowns. Nix averaged over 6 yards per carry and threw 27 touchdowns. He would have had more if he didn’t play hurt during a couple of games.

Oregon Ducks vs North Carolina Tar Heels Final Betting Prediction

Nix is a senior. So he could have skipped this bowl game and prepare for the NFL. But Bo knows the best chance he has of turning pro scouts’ heads is to dominate the ACC runner-up.

So we should expect Nix to give it his all on Wednesday night. Maye will also play great. The difference is that Drake doesn’t have a semblance of a defense to help keep him in games.

Clemson figured out how to contain Maye. No doubt, Oregon head coach Dan Lanning will have a plan to slow down UNC’s quarterback. On the flip side, the Tar Heels don’t play much defense. So Nix will post massive stats. Oregon rolls to at least a 17-point win.
