Montana vs Oregon Prediction

Montana is coming into this game as a 13 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Montana has been playing well to start the season, coming into this one with a better record than Oregon and also has been averaging more points on offense and less points on defense per game than Oregon has been. Oregon has had a disappointing start and they have been playing very poorly in their games getting blown out in a lot of them. They were smashed by a ranked Houston team in a game they were supposed to keep close and they have been spiraling since then. Their only win in their last 4 games has come against a team from a lower division. This is a sorry Oregon side right now and they cannot be backed until they start to show that they can play better in their games. The best bet to place in this game is on Montana to cover the spread here.

Notable Quotes


“I felt that we grew up a little bit. I think we did a good job getting through some adversity. We struggled defensively and to get stops in the first half. And the ball wasn’t going in the basket. One of the things we always challenge our guys with is to play well on the defensive side of the ball even when you’re not making shots. And I think they showed tonight they can do that.” - Travis DeCuire on his team’s win against Southern Miss.
 
 
"How we have regressed in the last two weeks just shocks me." - Dana Altman on his team after a few games this season.
