Arizona State vs Oregon 2011 College Football Spreads Week 7: A Pac-12 College Football Odds showdown between two of the leagues ranked schools, 18th ranked Arizona State and 9th ranked Oregon kicks off at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore., at 10:15 P.M. ET. Saturday. The game to be televised on ESPN and is the featured game of ESPN Gameday. Both schools, for the most part have been rolling their opposition but have also each lost on the road to currently ranked teams; Oregon to No. 1 LSU in Week-1 and Arizona State to No. 16 Illinois.
Betting against the Ducks at home is a risky proposition. I tried it once this season and whiffed taking Cal +21 1/2 in Week 6. Now I understand that TB LaMichael James, a 2010 Heisman Trophy finalist is out of the game. Arizona State is pretty good and coming in as a +14-point dog at BetOnline.com and most offshore sportsbooks. A 66 combined point total (over/under has been installed.
In the pre-season the Sun Devils were picked favorites by Pac-12 media to win the South Division and the Ducks were selected favorites to win the North. Having already defeated USC, the Sun Devils have clear sailing with Oregon and Washington State the only schools remaining on their schedule with winning records. The Ducks have a tougher road the second half of the season with a road game at No. 6 Stanford in mid-November and home for USC the next week.
As I said earlier, betting against the Ducks at home is risky but what fun is sports wagering if there's not a little risk. Sometimes one has to be able to pull the trigger and lay double-digit points. I know James is out of the game but the thing about the Ducks; there is always top talent waiting for an opportunity. My College Football Odds Pick – Ducks -14.
