Don't be fooled by Oregon's 3-0 start. They aren't that good. They missed covering by 30 points at home Saturday to a crappy SJSU team. Oregon is now 0-3 against the spread. Stanford, like the rest of the pac-12, isn't that good but they are A LOT better than Oregon. I expected this line to be at least a TD.

What's so "not good" about Oregon other than they failed to cover the spread?
I'm just begging the question because I honestly don't know if I'll bet this game but my initial lean is with the Ducks. It's typical of these teams to play down to the competition and for the coaches to hold back, knowing that Goliath is on deck, so I don't know that I put a whole lot of stock into the SJSU game.
I think Oregon playing at home and with a much more dynamic offense presents a challenge to this Stanford team they just haven't seen yet. Herbert will be the first real quarterback they've faced. I mean the kid at USC might prove to be special but he's a long ways away at this stage.Comment -
Ducks by 10+Comment -
It was on the number depending on when you bet. The analysis I read said they were 0-3. It really doesn't matter.... they are underachieving. Shaw is a substantially better coach than Cristobal and his disciplined style should crush Oregon's high flying style. ORE won't be able to recover if/when thing start going against them. Stanford should control the tempo and should handle the ducks easily. Don't get me wrong, I'm an Oregon resident and fan. I'd love nothing more than to see them win. My money is just going elsewhere. And I'm not alone. Line on Bovada was ORE +1 (-110) yesterday and is now ORE +2 (-115). That's a decent amount of movement Sun-Mon.Comment
