Why Oregon can cover

Utah put together a complete performance in its first meeting with Oregon. The Utes handed the Ducks an embarrassing loss thanks to a dominant ground attack and sturdy defense. Oregon’s inability to get stops was detrimental down the stretch, and injuries were a factor. 

Verone McKinley III exited the first meeting between these two teams with a first-half injury and did not return. ‘The General’ is the Ducks’ second-leading tackler and has hauled in a team-high five interceptions. While Oregon will still be without some key pass-catchers, its star cornerback could help limit the damage on defense. Oregon has the fourth-most rushing touchdowns (34) in the FBS and could be much more competitive if Anthony Brown and Travis Dye have bounce-back performances.

Why Utah can cover

Utah is riding a five-game winning streak, and four of its victories during that span have been by double-digits. The Utes have leaned heavily on their sturdy rushing attack to get results. Tavion Thomas has put the offense on his back and could build on his string of elite performances in his second matchup with Oregon. 

Thomas is a touchdown machine. He’s rushed for 978 yards, and 18 touchdowns on 168 carries this season. He’s been incredibly productive during the Utes’ winning streak, tallying 14 rushing touchdowns in his last five games. Thomas eclipsed 100 yards on the ground in three of those contests. The sophomore running back could power Utah to a sixth consecutive victory by continuing to move the chains efficiently.
