March Madness: Oregon vs. Creighton odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Oregon at Creighton odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The 11th-seeded Oregon Ducks (20-14) face the 3rd-seeded Creighton Bluejays (23-10) Friday in a 2nd-round game in the NCAA Tournament. Tip from PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Oregon vs. Creighton odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Oregon made short work of the 6th-seeded South Carolina Gamecocks 87-73 on Thursday in the 1st round, covering the 2.5-point spread as the Over (136) easily cashed. Former South Carolina G Jermaine Couisnard had a huge effort against his old team, scoring 40 points (5 of 9 on 3s) with 6 assists and 4 rebounds. The Ducks are flying right now, winners of 5 straight and covering in their last 3.

The 3rd-seeded Bluejays held only a 5-point led at the half over the 14th-seeded Akron Zips, but pulled away in the 2nd half for a 77-60 victory. They covered the 11-point spread as favorites as the Under (143.5) cashed. A true team effort from Creighton as all 5 starters scored in double figures led by C Ryan Kalkbrenner‘s 23 points. The boys from Omaha have won 8 of their last 10 games.

Creighton is No. 11 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Oregon vs. Creighton picks and predictions

Prediction

Creighton 77, Oregon 72

Moneyline

PASS.

It is really hard to bet against the Ducks right now because they are playing really good basketball. Dana Altman has his team firing on all cylinders at the perfect time in the season, but I don’t love this matchup for them. Creighton is basically a better version of Oregon, in my mind. I’m going to save my bet for the spread and/or total because I don’t like the Bluejays (-215) at more than 2 to 1 odds.

Against the spread

BET OREGON +5.5 (-115).

I do think Creighton wins this game, but it won’t be a runaway. The Ducks have covered the spread in their last 3 games, including 2 against Top 25 teams in Arizona and South Carolina. Between the outside shooting of  Couisnard and the inside presence of C N’Faly Dante, Creighton will need to bring its A game and they can’t come out flat like they did against Akron.

Over/Under

BET OVER 145.5 (-115).

This game is going to be a track meet. Both of these teams are long and athletic and can get up and down the court.

Oregon has been Over in 3 of its last 4, Creighton in 3 of its last 5. The Bluejays average implied total is 79.5 points which is 3.5 more points than their implied total of 76 points in Saturday’s game. Oregon has outscored its implied point total for this matchup (71) 24 times.

March Madness: Oregon vs. South Carolina odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Oregon vs. South Carolina odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 11 seed Oregon Ducks (23-11) face off against the 6th-seeded South Carolina Gamecocks (26-7) Thursday in a 1st-round game in the NCAA Tournament. Tip from PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Oregon vs. South Carolina odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Oregon just finished an amazing 3-game run to win the Pac-12 Tournament title, capped by a 75-68 title-game victory over the Colorado Buffaloes. They won outright as 2.5-point underdogs and the Over (139.5) cashed. The Ducks are led by 1st-team, All Pac-12 player C N’Faly Dante, who averaged 16.2 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Oregon is 16-18 against the spread (ATS) this season, but closed out the regular season just 1-9 ATS over their last 10 — The Ducks went 2-1 ATS in the conference tourney.

The Gamecocks were dismantled in the SEC quarterfinals by the Auburn Tigers 86-55. South Carolina failed to cover as a 7-point underdog and the Under (144) cashed. Despite the disappointment in the conference tourney, this team can lock down opponents defensively. The Gamecocks allowed just 67 points per game for the season, was tops in the SEC. They finished 23-10 ATS, including 4-1 ATS in their last 5 regular-season games.

South Carolina is No. 17 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Oregon vs. South Carolina picks and predictions

Prediction

South Carolina 71, Oregon 65

Moneyline

PASS.

This is an odds play, but I’m going to stay away from the moneyline and look to the spread for this bet. You are giving less than 2 points with South Carolina and you are getting less juice. When you’ve got a line that big, it’s basically the same as taking the moneyline, so I’ll take the better odds.

Against the spread

BET SOUTH CAROLINA -1.5 (-102).

While it was fun to see the Ducks run through the Pac-12 Tournament, that magic ends in this matchup with the Gamecocks. South Carolina played in arguably the toughest conference in the country and finished in a 4-way tie for 2nd place at 13-5. The Gamecocks did that by shutting down high powered offenses and making clutch shots throughout the season.

South Carolina was also one of the best teams in the country when it came to covering the spread. As mentioned, it is 23-10 ATS, including 4-1 ATS in its last 5 on the road and/or neutral courts.

Over/Under

BET OVER 133.5 (-110).

I know I’ve focused a lot on how impressive South Carolina’s defense can be, but the Over is 4-2 in its last 6 games. The Gamecocks are also 5-1 going Over this 133 total in their last 6 games.

When you look at the Ducks, the Over was 2-1 in the Pac-12 Tournament and 3-1 in their last 4 games of the regular season.

Pac-12 Tournament: Oregon vs. Colorado odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Pac-12 Tournament: Oregon vs. Colorado odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Oregon Ducks (22-11) battle Colorado Buffaloes (24-9) Saturday in the Pac-12 Championship Game. Tip from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Oregon vs. Colorado odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The 4th-seeded Oregon upset top seed Arizona 67-59 Friday night in the semifinals of the Pac-12 tournament. The Ducks outscored the Wildcats 44-26 in the 2nd half to win outright as a 12-point underdog with the Under (155.5) cashing. The backcourt combination of Jermaine Couisnard and Jackson Shelstad scored 41 points while C N’Faly Dante had a double-double (14 points and 10 rebounds). Oregon is trying to win the Pac-12 Tournament title for the first time since 2019.

The 3rd-seeded Colorado beat No. 2 Washington State 58-52 by forcing 19 turnovers Friday night. They covered the 3-point spread, and the Under (141.5) cashed. Buffaloes leading-scorer G KJ Simpson struggled shooting (4-of-15) but still managed a game-high 16 points and also chipped in 7 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal. Colorado has not won the Pac-12 Tournament title since 2012.

Colorado swept the season series with Oregon, covering the spread in both games as well. Both contests also went Over the posted total.

Oregon vs. Colorado picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado 78, Oregon 73

Moneyline

PASS.

Colorado’s (-156) juice to win this game is a bit more than I would like to bet. I really like the spread in this one, so I’m going to put my wager there.

Against the spread

BET COLORADO -2.5 (-120).

It is generally very hard for any college basketball team to beat another one 3 times in the same season, but in this case, I think it happens.

Despite the fact that the Ducks have won 3 straight coming into this title game, they have only covered the spread in 2 of their last 12 games. You have to think that they used a lot to get past Arizona in the semifinals.

Meanwhile, Colorado has won 8 straight and has covered the spread in 6 of those games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 140.5 (-105).

The Over cashed in both of their previous games this season. They have been over in 4 of their last 5 head-to-heads. Oregon has been Over their total in 4 of their last 6. Colorado is one of those teams that can win a slow, grind-it-out game or an up-tempo shootout.

Oregon at Arizona odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Oregon at Arizona odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 7 Arizona Wildcats (22-6, 13-4 Pac-12) welcome the Oregon Ducks (19-9, 11-6) to McKale Center Saturday. Tip is set for 2 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Oregon vs. Arizona odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

Arizona is No. 7 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. The Wildcats beat the Arizona State Sun Devils 85-67 Wednesday, covering as an 11.5-point road favorite. They have covered 4 of their last 6 games and are 4-1-1 against the spread (ATS) in that span. Arizona is 18-9-1 ATS on the season. It is led by G Caleb Love, who is averaging 19.3 points per game.

Oregon beat the Oregon State Beavers 78-71 Wednesday, failing to cover as a 13.5-point favorite. The Ducks are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games and 14-14 ATS on the season. Oregon is 3-4 ATS in its last 7 road games. It is led by C N’Faly Dante, who is averaging 14.8 points per game and shooting 63.4% from the field.

Oregon at Arizona picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 82, Oregon 71

Moneyline

PASS.

The Wildcats are rightfully a strong favorite, but they aren’t worth a play on the moneyline. Similarly, the Ducks haven’t played well enough to back.

Against the spread

LEAN OREGON +13.5 (-110).

The Wildcats beat the Ducks by 9 on the road earlier in the season, and in that victory, Love went for 36 points and the Cats shot 53% from downtown. That’s unlikely to be repeated.

While the Ducks have struggled to cover as of late, they are 2-1 ATS in their last 3 games as an underdog. Three of their top 4 scoring options shooting at least 45% from the field. Arizona is a strong side, but the Ducks have the capability to cover here.

Take OREGON +13.5 (-110), and don’t expect history to repeat itself in this one.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 158.5 (-110).

The Ducks have gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games, allowing Under 71 in 5 straight and allowing Under 65 in 3 of their last 5. The Wildcats have gone Under in 3 straight and in 5 of their last 8 games.

Arizona has allowed 71 or fewer in 4 of their last 8, so they have stepped it up defensively. The recent trends for both teams suggest the defenses have improved.

That said, take UNDER 158.5 (-110).

Oregon at Utah odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Oregon at Utah odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Oregon Ducks (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12) and Utah Utes (6-1, 3-1) meet Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Oregon vs. Utah odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Ducks rebounded from their 36-33 loss at Washington with a solid 38-24 victory over Washington State in Eugene last weekend, although UO failed to cover the 19.5-point number. It was Oregon’s 1st non-cover of the season after a 6-0 against the spread (ATS) run to open.

The Utes received bad news last week when they learned both QB Cam Rising and TE Brant Kuithe would take medical redshirts, and neither will play in 2023. Despite that bad news, Utah still was able to focus and grab a 34-32 road win against USC. The Utes are 4-2-1 ATS overall, and the Over has cashed in each of the past 2 outings.

Oregon is No. 9 and Utah is No. 13 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Oregon at Utah picks and predictions

Prediction

Oregon 27, Utah 24

Moneyline

Oregon (-250) is a risky play on the road in this high-profile matchup, costing you 2½ times your potential return.

Utah (+200) would be the lean playing on its home field, but playing 2 marquee games in a row is a big ask. The Utes have done well to get to this point, but I think QB Bo Nix and the Ducks are just a touch better offensively.

AVOID.

Against the spread

UTAH +6.5 (-110) is worth playing lightly, as I’d feel better if this was a flat 7 or 7 and a hook.

Utah has won 3 of the past 5 meetings overall, including each of the previous 2 in SLC. In fact, Utah blew the doors off of Oregon in a 38-7 win on Nov. 20, 2021, in the most recent battle at Rice-Eccles. The last time Oregon won at Utah was a 30-28 win Nov. 19, 2016.

Over/Under

OVER 47.5 (-110) may be the best play on the board, but be careful not to get too carried away.

The Utes offense shined last week at USC, but everyone piles up yardage and points on the leaky Trojans defense. The Over is 2-0 in the past 2 games, however, with Utah also going for 34 points in the previous week at home against Cal.

Oregon has cashed the Over in 2 straight, too, while going for 33 or more points in all 7 games this season.

The Washington State Cougars (4-2, 1-2 Pac-12) face the No. 11 Oregon Ducks (5-1, 2-1 Pac-12) Saturday. Kickoff from Autzen Stadium is at 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Washington State vs. Oregon odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Washington State lost its second game in a row last week, falling 44-6 to Arizona as a 7.5-point home favorite. The Under (56) cashed in. It fell out of the top 25 after previously being No. 19.

The Ducks lost their first game of the season last week, a 36-33 road loss to No. 5 Washington. They covered the 3.5-point spread as road dogs, and the Over (66.5) hit.

Washington State at Oregon picks and predictions

Prediction

Oregon 36, Washington State 31

Moneyline

The Cougars have lost 2 straight games and scored a combined 23 points in those losses. Oregon has scored no fewer than 33 points in a game this season.

It appears highly unlikely Washington State will pull off the outright upset and betting a moneyline at -1100 is not worth the risk.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Ducks have covered the spread in every game this season. Four of their 5 wins have been by at least 36 points.

Oregon has won the last 4 meetings with the Cougars but has not won by more than 14 points in those victories.

Conference games are unpredictable. I expect a bounce-back game from Washington State to be competitive, but ultimately losing. You have to take the points here.

BET WASHINGTON STATE +20.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The last 4 meetings of the 2 teams, and 8 of the last 10, have had totals of more than 61 points.

Four of Oregon’s 6 games have surpassed this week’s projected total.

BET OVER 61.5 (-105).

Oregon at Washington odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Oregon at Washington odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The marquee game of the college football weekend has the No. 8 Oregon Ducks (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12) visiting the No. 6 Washington Huskies (5-0, 2-0) Saturday in Seattle. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Oregon vs. Washington odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Last season, Washington rallied for a 37-34 road victory as a 12-point underdog behind QB Michael Penix Jr. (408 passing yards, 2 TDs). It helped that Oregon QB Bo Nix limped off the field just before the Ducks kicked a field goal for a 34-27 lead with 3:54 remaining.

Penix Jr. answered by hitting WR Taj Davis for a game-tying, 62-yard TD pass with 3:07 to go. Nix (280 passing yards with 2 TDs, 55 rushing yards, 1 TD) sat out Oregon’s next series, which ended with a risky call as the Ducks failed on a 4th-and-1 at their own 33-yard line with 1:26 left.

That gave the Huskies decent field position, leading to K Peyton Henry’s go-ahead, 43-yard field goal with 51 seconds to go. Nix returned and moved the Ducks to the Huskies’ 38, but time ran out.

This season, both teams come in undefeated, ranked in the top 8 of the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports and with 2 of the top players in the country. Penix Jr. is the favorite (+220) to win the Heisman Trophy, while Nix is 3rd (+600). USC QB Caleb Williams, last season’s winner, is 2nd (+250).

Both teams have the offense to win it all. Washington ranks 1st in total yards (569.4 per game) and 3rd in scoring (46.0 points per game), per NCAA.org; Oregon is 2nd in yards (555.8 YPG) and 2nd in scoring (51.6 PPG) — USC is No. 1 in scoring (51.8 PPG).

The real matchup will be Washington’s air attack, which is No. 1 in the country at 446.4 passing YPG, vs. Oregon’s pass defense, which ranks 5th by allowing just 153.6 YPG.

If Oregon can stop the passing game of Penix Jr., it should be able to shut down the Huskies’ running game, which ranks 101st at 123.0 YPG.

Oregon has a much more balanced offense, averaging 225.2 yards on the ground (ranking 8th) and 330.6 yards passing (10th). Behind an elite offensive line, Oregon’s 6.99 yards per carry is tops in the nation.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Oregon at Washington picks and predictions

Prediction

Oregon 42, Washington 38

Moneyline

OREGON (+118) is a solid bet to win this game as the underdog.

Not only can Oregon keep up with Washington offensively, it also has a far better defense, which will allow the Ducks to get enough stops.

The Ducks have been dismantling most of their opponents this season. The Huskies and their 62nd-ranked defense — yielding 365.0 YPG — have allowed 56 combined points in their last 2 games. This will lead to a shootout in Seattle, making the feeling of an Oregon win the best bet.

Against the spread

PASS.

Expecting Oregon to win this game outright, taking less value on the spread doesn’t make sense.

If you’re not comfortable betting the straight upset, taking Oregon +2.5 (+100) at even-money is a wager worth making.

Over/Under

BET OVER 67.5 (-105).

Last year’s 37-34 final cashed Under tickets last season — by just 2.5 points — as the O/U line was a high 73.5.

Both offenses are better this season with Nix and Penix Jr. in their 2nd seasons in their respective programs.

Oregon has a good defense, but it has not faced an offense the level of Washington. The Huskies will be able to score on the Ducks and the Ducks will be able to score on the Huskies.

Expect this final to get to 70 or higher. Plus, both team total Overs — Washington 34.5 (-113) and Oregon 32.5 (-115) — should also be in play.

First look: Oregon at Washington odds and lines

Looking at Saturday’s Oregon at Washington college football odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 8 Oregon Ducks (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12) face the No. 6 Washington Huskies (5-0, 2-0) Saturday. Kickoff from Husky Stadium is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we look at Oregon vs. Washington odds from FanDuel Sportsbook. Also see: SportsbookWire’s college football picks and predictions.

The Ducks are coming off of a 42-6 blowout road win at the Stanford Cardinal. They easily covered the 27-point spread with the Under (59.5) cashing. QB Bo Nix continues to impress, throwing for 290 yards and 4 touchdowns in the victory. WR Troy Franklin hauled in 7 receptions for 117 yards and 2 TDs.

Washington remained undefeated with a 31-24 victory at the Arizona Wildcats in Tucson but failed to cover as a 20-point favorite — the Under (65) was the way to go in this one. The game wasn’t as close as the score indicates. Heisman hopeful QB Michael Penix Jr. completed 30 of 40 pass attempts for 363 yards with no TDs or interceptions. RB Dillon Johnson scored 2 rushing touchdowns and finished with 98 yards on 16 carries, while WR Germie Bernard added a score on the ground (5 carries, 12 yards) with 8 catches for a team-high 98 receiving yards.

Oregon at Stanford picks and predictions

Prediction

Oregon 45, Stanford 10

Moneyline

The Ducks should easily win on Saturday, but taking them straight up at -10000 odds isn’t worth the risk. Taking that into account, just AVOID the moneyline entirely.

Against the spread

BET OREGON -27.5 (-110).

Some would argue that this is a letdown spot for Oregon after all of the attention surrounding its lopsided win over Colorado last week. But the Ducks have looked like one of the most well-rounded teams in the nation so far, while the Cardinal are poised for another losing season in 2023.

Oregon is also 4-0 ATS this season despite being favored by 21.5 points or more in 3 of their games.

Over/Under

UNDER 61.5 (-115) is the play in this game as it’s tough to predict Stanford contributing a decent amount of points against Oregon’s defense. The Ducks are giving up only 13.2 points per game (16th-fewest in the nation) and just held the Buffaloes to 6 points in Week 4.

Both Oregon and Stanford are also 1-3 to the Over this season.

Colorado at Oregon odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Colorado at Oregon odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 19 Colorado Buffaloes (3-0) bring the hype train to Eugene to take on the No. 11 Oregon Ducks (3-0) Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Colorado vs. Oregon odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Colorado comes into its Pac-12 opener after an 11-point comeback win  Saturday, 43-35 in overtime against rival Colorado State in a game marred by personal fouls and cheap shots. CSU had 9 personal fouls and one that wasn’t called on a late hit to 2-way star Travis Hunter. That hit will cost him multiple weeks with a lacerated liver.

Shedeur Sanders led a 98-yard game scoring drive to end the 4th quarter. After throwing his 1st INT of the season, Sanders showed why he is a top contender for the Heisman Trophy with 1,251 yards and 10 TDs.

Oregon and QB Bo Nix have been running roughshod through an easy early-season schedule. After defeating Portland State 81-7 in Week 1, Oregon found a more difficult test on the road in Week 2 against Texas Tech. After getting out with a 38-30 win, the Ducks returned home and crushed Hawaii 55-10 Saturday.

With Bo Nix leading the way with 893 yards and 8 TD, Oregon has continued its fast-paced offense — an offense far quicker and more talented than anything Colorado has seen.

Colorado at Oregon picks and predictions

Prediction

Oregon 48, Colorado 24

Moneyline

PASS.

Do not make this wager. Even though Colorado has had a remarkable start to the season, it has not faced any team the caliber of Oregon.

Nix will light up a Colorado defense which has failed to get to the QB this season. And the offensive line of Oregon is one of the best in the nation and will not let it happen this week either.

While +680 is wonderful, it has no chance of hitting and the -1100 on Oregon is far too high to risk.

Against the spread

LEAN COLORADO +21 (-110).

While Colorado cannot match the talent of Oregon on either side of the ball, this line might just be a few points too high.

Coach Prime wants to get his son the Heisman. Or at least to be a finalist. To do so, especially with losses looming, he will need to pad the stats. This means that, even when the game is out of hand, Sanders will remain in the game and throw the ball.

By that point, Oregon will have its 2nd-string defense in, and the yards and some garbage points will come from it.

This game will never be in doubt for Oregon and the final score will be closer than the game feels. But Las Vegas does not care about garbage points. It only cares about the spread. And with this line being at -21 (110) it is just a few points above what you should feel comfortable lying with Oregon. The lean is for Colorado. But wagering instead on the Over/Under is a better wager.

Over/Under

OVER 70.5 (-105).

With Oregon having yet to score less than 38 points, it will be able to move up and down the field on a Colorado team which also wants to move quick.

Colorado currently ranks in the top 5 in the country in terms of plays per game. Oregon is one of the rare teams which can hang with this pace and not get tired.

With Hunter’s injury meaning the best defender for Colorado is out, Nix will use his arm to dink and dunk his way down the field. Oregon throws more passes within 3 yards of the line of scrimmage and a nation leading 67% of its receiving yards come after the catch, per CBS Sports. With Colorado being unable to tackle the Ducks receivers, Oregon will hit 40 and even 50 as it says goodbye to Colorado in the Pac-12.

Colorado for its part, will continue to try to score to keep Sanders in the Heisman race. Garbage points are points too and we do not discriminate. We will take all the points we can and 70.5 (-105) is not too high to want to make a play on.
