BYU vs Oregon Betting Preview
A West Coast battle is set for Saturday night when the BYU Cougars (2-0) visit the Oregon Ducks (1-1). BYU has opened the season with two impressive wins, including a top 10 win, and will look to add another feather to their cap. Oregon bounced back from a pathetic week one performance with a dominant win, against an inferior opponent, in week two. This game will air live on FOX.

BYU vs Oregon Prediction
Last time out, BYU hosted #9 Baylor and came away with an epic 26-20 overtime win. This was a great game that saw six lead changes, two ties, and two overtimes. The Cougars were leading 20-13 entering the fourth quarter, but Baylor tied it up with 10 minutes to go and the defenses held it down to force overtime. BYU missed a game-winning 35 yards field goal in regulation and both teams missed field goals in the first overtime. The second overtime saw BYU score a touchdown, miss the two-point conversion, and then stop Baylor on their next drive to get the win. Defensively, the Cougars allowed 289 total yards and did not force any Baylor turnovers.
Oregon hosted Eastern Washington and throttled them, winning 70-14. This game was over before it started as the Ducks scored the first 28 points and then went on a 35-0 run after letting Eastern Washington get on the board. Bo Nix went 28/33 for 277 yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions on the night. Oregon ran the ball 48 times for 263 yards, a 5.5 average, and four touchdowns in the win. Defensively, the Ducks allowed just 187 total yards and forced two Eagles interceptions.
Series History: BYU won the most recent meeting, back in 2006, to tie the all-time series at three wins a piece.
Pick: This is going to be a cracking game, but at home I like Oregon to cover the field goal spread.
