Oregon vs Arizona State Prediction

The current betting odds have Oregon listed as a 23.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oregon has looked really good this season with their 9-1 record overall and their 6-1 conference record which has them ranked 6th in the country right now. Their only loss this year was on the road against Washington, the only undefeated team left in the Pac-12 this season, but Oregon has only looked better and better in every game they have played since that loss. Arizona State has also looked a lot better in their games lately with a big road win against UCLA just last week but they are still only 3-7 overall and just 2-5 in their conference games this year. Arizona State will have the home advantage here but Oregon has looked just as good in their road games as they have looked at home and their defense is going to cause a lot of problems for this ASU offense that has already been struggling to put up a lot of points in their games lately. ASU doesn't have the offense to put up a fight in this game even being at home and their defense won't be able to stop Oregon's offense either. The best way to place a bet here is on Oregon to cover the spread in this game. 

Oregon Arizona State Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, November 18, 2023 (4:00 pm ET start time) is Oregon 45 ASU 10.

Notable Quotes


“We knew they were dangerous and had the ability to come back, so I don’t thing anybody felt relaxed. Disappointed a little bit with our finish, because I think we’re a much better team than we showed down the stretch.” - Dan Lanning after his team’s win against USC in their last game. 


“I was trying to put our players in the best position to win. Point blank. Did we really want to play 70 snaps for these guys just to try to kill our quarterback? And the answer was no, we did not.” - Kenny Dillingham after his team’s win against UCLA in their last game.
