Sinking Oregon Needs to Right the Ship Soon

Oregon (10-15-0 ATS, 15-10-0 O/U) are still a projected No. 8 team in Joe Lunardi’s Bracketology on ESPN, but if Oregon keeps losing games, the Ducks (-315 Moneyline) may soon find themselves quacking on the Bubble. Oregon is led by G Jackson Shelstad (13.4 PPG, 3.0 RPG, 2.8 APG), C Nate Bittle (12.5 PPG, 6.9 RPG), G TJ Bamba (10.3 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 2.7 APG), G Keeshawn Barthelemy (9.8 PPG, 2.4 RPG, 2.7 APG), F Brandon Angel (9.5 PPG, 4.0 RPG), G Jadrian Tracey (7.3 PPG, 3.0 RPG, 2.0 APG), F Supreme Cook (6.0 PPG, 2.8 RPG), and F Kwame Evans Jr. (5.6 PPG, 3.7 RPG).

Rutgers vs Oregon Prediction

This Rutgers vs Oregon NCAAB pick will have to focus on Recency Bias and what these two schools have done lately with Oregon just joining the Big Ten Conference with USC, UCLA, and rivals Washington. The Ducks have been awful against the Point Spread lately but Rutgers had to Travel 2,900 miles and 3 Time Zones (EST to PST) to face Oregon and the Scarlet Knights aren’t having a great season. The Ducks last 3 Home games have all been Overs and the Over is 8-3-0 in their last 11 while the Over is 3-1-0 in the last 4 Rutgers Road dribbles. With both teams skewing to the Over this season (28-21-1), let’s lean to a high-scoring shootout with one side having nothing to lose and the other (Oregon 1-5 SU last 6) at Home and trying to get back to its winning ways. 

Kevin’s Prediction: Rutgers-Oregon Over 152.5
