Oregon (-9) at Arizona State

The Ducks hit the road to Tempe for a Thursday night game that could be one of the more entertaining games of the year. Do Todd Graham’s Sun Devils have enough offense of their own to keep pace with Oregon?

Matt – Oregon

If you love offense, tune into this one on Thursday night.  Both teams want to run as many offensive plays as they can, as fast as they can.  I think the Ducks have enough defense to get the stops required, while the Sun Devils won’t have an answer for the Oregon offense.

Tim – Oregon

While this may be Oregon’s first real test, I think Arizona State is overrated in the eyes of many.  I just can’t see them scoring enough to stay within 10 of Oregon’s video game offense.

Craig – Oregon

Oregon’s defense seems to be a little better this year and I don’t see anyone besides an Alabama slowing Oregon down. Double-digit win seem likely.

Corey – Arizona State

I know this is a big game for the Todd Graham and the Sun Deveils.  They will come out and give the home folks a nice show early, but the Ducks and Chip Kelly are just too much for them to handle.  How this game is only at 9 points is beyond me.  So, perhaps the bettors know something that I don’t – which is usually the case!  Since I’m trailing the group, I’ll go with the Sun Devils and their 8th rated defense to keep the game close.
