The Oregon Ducks’ transition to the Big Ten has been astonishing so far. They are 8-0 and an impressive 5-0 in Big Ten play. If there was ever an example of not overreacting during the September Games, it would be the Ducks.
They fought Idaho, and it was an instant mania. Since then, they have gone undefeated in the league and have knocked off a top five opponent in the state of Ohio.
This week they play Michigan in the Big House. Michigan’s season hasn’t started the way they hoped, but they are still 5-3 despite their lack of quality quarterback play.
Oregon’s quarterback play was the opposite of Michigan’s. Dillon Gabriel is among the favorites to win the Heisman and has steadily improved every game this season.
The Ducks are 14.5 point favorites in this game and should have no problems this weekend.

Betting insights and predictions
Brad Thomas of NBC Sports Bet (@MrBradThomas) is leaning towards Oregon -14.5:
“It’s been an interesting season if you’re pro-Michigan early on. The books may have made them a bit overvalued, hence their 2-6 against the spread figures. They are 1-4 against the spread in their wins and 0-2 in their losses as an underdog. It was tough sledding to say the least. Due to a lack of solid quarterback play, teams have been able to stack the box and force Kalel Mullings and Donovan Edwards to beat them. As they struggle to score, their defense is under a lot of pressure. Oregon is probably three touchdowns better than Michigan in neutral territory. I’d rather not have this at -14.5 and it ends up at 14. So just a little bit of me.
