Moneyline Pick: Oregon Ducks ML
I have been impressed with Tech all season, but I love how Oregon matches up in this game.
Oregon's speed and rushing ability will be problematic for the Red Raiders' defense.
Tech has not seen an offense of this caliber as Oregon ranks eighth nationally in points per game (37.5).
I'm trusting the better quarterback and offense in what should be a tightly contested game.

The game script will bode well for this prop.
I expect Tech to play most of this game from behind, forcing them to rely on their passing game.
Caleb Douglas has been the top receiver for the Red Raiders, racking up 846 yards this season.
The Missouri City, Texas native has cashed this prop in nine of thirteen games this season.
