The Oregon Ducks put together an impressive effort against the Utah Utes in the Pac 12 Championship, and I expect them to continue rolling as they will get a Wisconsin team that was up by 14 points on Ohio State before losing by 13. The Ducks have traditionally been known for their offense, but their defense has been the backbone of this team as they are holding their opponents to an average of 15.7 PPG. The Ohio State Buckeyes showed that the amazing Wisconsin defense is vulnerable at times in the secondary, and the Ducks have one of the best QBs in the nation in Justin Herbert with a ton of weapons on the outside. Jack Coan put together a very good effort against Ohio State, but I don’t think the junior will find much success against the Oregon defense. The Ducks will key in on RB Jonathan Taylor and dare the Badgers to beat them through the air, and that won’t happen. The Ducks get to stay on the west coast for this game, and they will win this one outright. Final Score Prediction, Oregon Ducks win and cover ATS 28-24.
