Ducks for me at Iowa. Best Bet. Who you got?

Oregon -6.5

Ya Ducks seem tempting here. When is the last time we've seen an Oregon game total at 40?

40 points is a surprise. May play over with Oregon.

Ya Ducks seem tempting here. When is the last time we've seen an Oregon game total at 40?

Multiple decades is my guess?

Hell, many times Oregon team total has been over 40 points over the past few decades.

[SBR Andy]

Despite the low total, SBR's Matt Jacob is going with the Under in his Oregon vs Iowa prediction:

Under 42.5 (-110 FanDuel)

"Rain is expected to start falling about a half hour before kickoff and continue through most (if not all) of the game. Throw in a steady breeze, and the wind chill will bring the temperature to right around freezing, making it tough to move the football. That’s one reason I love the Under on 42.5 in this contest.

The more significant reason? Both defenses are phenomenal. Iowa ranks third nationally in total defense (234.9 yards allowed per game), while Oregon sits fourth (239.4). Both squads also field top-five pass defenses. So look for a lot of clock-eating runs in this one.

Most importantly for my Oregon vs. Iowa prediction, both defenses erect brick walls when opponents approach the goal line. The Hawkeyes (13.1 points per game) and Ducks (13.5) rank fourth and sixth, respectively, in scoring defense. Each squad has allowed 12 touchdowns across eight games."

SBR's Rob Paul is taking the points with the home squad as posted on the NCAAF Picks page:

Iowa +6.5 (-110 Caesars)

"This is a classic Iowa trap game, with the Hawkeyes having an offense that leaves plenty to be desired and a defense that's ranked No. 6 by SP+. With Oregon looking a little iffy at home against Wisconsin two weeks ago, and Dante Moore exiting the game with a nose injury, the Ducks could be sluggish in this cross-country game at one of the toughest stadiums to play at in the Big Ten. Look for Iowa to muck this game up and lean on QB Mark Gronowski's rugged running style to make enough plays on offense to keep this close."
