We are less than a week removed from the Georgia Bulldogs beating the Alabama Crimson Tide in the 2021 national championship game, but it’s already time for fans to look towards the future for your favorite team.

For fans of the Oregon Ducks, that means dreaming of a chance that new head coach Dan Lanning can repeat as a champion after he helped the Bulldogs win the title as the defensive coordinator. According to the latest betting odds, that may not be too insane of an idea, either.

The Tipico Sportsbook’s odds for the Ducks winning the college football national championship next season opens up at +4000. For the non-betting public, that means that a bet of $10 would win you $400.

At +4000, the Ducks have the 5th best odds in the nation to win the championship, tied with Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Florida, and Michigan.

Here is a look at the other schools listed by the bookmaker.

Georgia Alabama Ohio State Clemson
+200 +200 +800 +1000
Oregon Texas A&M Oklahoma Florida
+4000 +4000 +4000 +4000
Michigan Miami (FL) Penn State Tennessee

No. 3 Oregon Ducks open as 28-point favorites over Arizona Wildcats

The Ducks will be massive favorites once against this week as they get set to host the Arizona Wildcats in the Pac-12 opener.

With the non-conference schedule now behind us, and Pac-12 play starting for the Ducks on Saturday, you’d expect the competition to take a major step up, especially after Oregon played the Stony Brook Seawolves on Saturday, beating the FCS team 48-7.

The talent level may not take a drastic step up this week, however, with the Arizona Wildcats coming to Eugene on Saturday night. Arizona has lost 15-straight games, and they dropped one to Northern Arizona last week, another FCS school. Widely seen as the worst team in the Pac-12, the Wildcats aren’t likely to pose much of a threat to Oregon this week.

The betting lines reflect that idea as well. According to Tipico Sportsbook, the Ducks are opening as a 28.5-point favorite over Arizona, with an over/under of 58.5 for the game. If you do the math, that means the oddsmakers are predicting a final score somewhere along the lines of 44-14, Ducks.

As the week goes on, we are likely to see the line move quite a bit. One big piece of news to come out is concerning Oregon’s health going into Saturday, with both QB Anthony Brown and DE Kayvon Thibodeaux questionable to play. When talking to the media on Monday, head coach Mario Cristobal said that Brown “looks good’ and he expects him to be able to play, while Thibodeaux is still considered day-to-day.
