The Oregon Ducks, ranked No.6 in the nation, will attempt to move to 2-0 on the young season when they take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys. It will be a step up in competition level for Oregon, as they routed their week one FCS opponent, Montana State 59-13.
However, Oregon is still a big favorite to win Saturday's contest.
New quarterback Dante Moore looked the part for the Ducks last Saturday. He completed 18 of 23 passes for 213 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. Running back Jordon Davison also found the endzone three times in just six carries. Saturday's contest against Oklahoma State will be a good measuring stick as to where Oregon is as a football team.

Oklahoma State vs. Oregon prediction, best bet
Prediction: Over 55.5
The bet I'm looking to take in this matchup is the over of 55.5 points. I'm expecting the Oregon Ducks to air out the ball all day, and Oklahoma State to score just enough to end up covering. Save yourself the backdoor cover sweat, and just take the points. Early in the season is the best time to get your money into the market. After all, Oklahoma State is still a group of four team.
Best bet: Oregon running back Noah Whittington OVER 66.5 rushing yards.
Looking at the player prop here, my best bet is going to be placing the over on Noah Wittington's rushing prop of 66.5 yards. He received 10 carries for 68 yards in Oregon's week one victory. He received four more carries than the next back and averaged 6.8 yards per carry. He has the potential to break free and smash the number of 66.5 in just a handful of carries.
