4-1 Oregon vs 3-2 Arizona

Arizona is gaining big yardage and scoring points the last games

That is what scares me with this game. Tucson has been a place of nightmares for Oregon in recent years.

Arizona has no defense, if the defense plays as well as they did last night and Oregon scores in the redzone should be an easy win. But crazy things happen in the desert at night games.

Yep. I'm sure we all remember even in CK days those zona games are..........interesting.

In my pre-season predictions this is the game I had us losing. Now that we’re here I don’t think it’s very likely but these are the types of games we usually lose. Our toughest opponents are all at home and it’s usually the road game we shouldn’t lose where everything goes wrong.

That said, our OL/RBs plus our improving D gives me confidence in every game going forward. Arizona is not the team to shut down our run game and we should be able to control the game and put up a lot of points.

But zona was decent back then. They had plenty of good years under stoops and rich Rod.

if by good u mean fantastically mediocre then yes

We're -11.5 point favorites, down from -17.5 against Stanford. Shouldn't be close but the desert is scary and Zona at least has a little life this season.

Oregon 63- rats 31.

Oregon's offense is riding a high. 30-27. Closer than it should be, but Ducks pull it out.

Arizona's next five opponents are all ranked (Oregon, Utah, UCLA, USC, poo-dub). Brutal stretch.

Hadn't realized that we haven't won in Tucson since 2011. Granted that we occasionally skip them due to how the PAC12 schedule works, but still . . . yipes!

We win, but I'm not betting this week at -12.
At -17, I was gonna take those pts given our history at Arizona but was late to the party this week.

At 70.5 the over is enticing. Both offenses are good and I don't think our defense has been what I anticipated yet for this year.
I've got 45-35 Ducks and be pleasantly surprised if we win by more than that and hold them under 25.

Wow, I had not noticed the o/u was set that high. That suggests it'll be a victory for the defense if we keep them below 30.
