Result: Win
This is a 10* play on the Oregon Ducks.

The Ducks came into the season as the favorite to win the PAC12, and a legitimate playoff contender. They suffered a tough loss on the road at East Lansing, falling to Michigan State by a score of 31-28. Starting quarterback Vernon Adams played with a broken finger in that game, and he threw for 309 yards with a TD and two INTs on 22-of-39 passing. He would sit out the Ducks next game, a win over minnows Georgia State.

Things began to get ugly for the Ducks the following week, when they lost at home to Utah by a whopping 42 points. Adams re-injured his finger in that game, only attempting seven passes before giving way to Jeff Lockie. He sat out the next two games, and didn't return until October 17th in a win on the road at Washington. He threw for 272 yards and a pair of TDs in a 26-20 victory. Last week he went off for 315 yards and four TDs with one INT in a thrilling 61-55 win over Arizona State.

California on the other hand is coming off three straight losses, after starting the season 5-0. Starting quarterback Jared Goff has thrown as many INTs (7) as touchdowns during that span. The Bears have lost six straight to Oregon since 2007, and they've failed to cover in the last four of those games. Oregon was favored by a minimum of three scores in each contest, but they averaged well over 50 points and won in a blowout on all four occasions.

The Bears rank 63rd nationally allowing opponents to average over 163 rushing yards per game, and they are likely to struggle to stop Oregon's elite running game. When these teams met in California last year, the Ducks ran for 264 yards and a pair of TDs. We should expect a similar result here in Eugene.

Take ORE.
