2-Dime (1-5 Scale) Late Night Fix
We are going with the Ducks here as they are in a revenge spot here tonight! The Ducks lost 37-32 against Boise State last year and have had this game on their mind all year long! In my opinion this is a better team than the Oregon Ducks were last year which vastly over achieved at 10-3. Although they only return 10 total starters I believe they have their weapons back and Chip Kelly (OC last year) takes over as head coach and his QB Masoli is absolutely perfect for the spread offense. I think Oregon will be able to run all day against an inexperienced and under sized front 7 for Broncos. Boise State returns only 1 of their 4 starting DL's which should open up things with Masoli and Blount. Oregon's defense will have to play a lot better than they did last year and their Defense is going to look new, but they should be able to keep the running game in check as they held Boise State to 38 yards rushing on 35 carries last year, but were beat in the air. Fortunately Oregon does return lockdown corner Walter Thurmond and a solid hitter at FS in TJ Ward. There has been a lot of buzz about the new guys on defense surrounding the team and I think they could be better this year. Take the Ducks to cover the spread of +3.5 in a perfect revenge spot on ESPN.
