Oregon Football: 3 bold predictions for Ducks against Arizona

The third-ranked Oregon football team (3-0), one best teams in the Pac-12, hosts one of the worst teams in the Pac-12 in Arizona (0-3) during Week 4 of the college football season.

Arizona, fresh off one of the worst upsets in program history to Northern Arizona, will do their best to hold off the dynamic offense of Oregon.

While Oregon’s best player, defensive end Kayyon Thibodeaux is day-to-day with an ankle injury, he’s kept busy by announcing plans to have his own non-fungible token (a form of cryptocurrency) in a collaboration with Nike founder Phil Knight.

The Ducks should be able to dispatch the Arizona Wildcats with little trouble in Week 4 — Thibodeaux or no Thibodeaux.

3. Oregon Football will cover the spread against Arizona (currently at -28.5)

With most sportsbooks placing the line at 28.5, it’s clear they believe the Ducks will run all over the Arizona Wildcats.

Oregon safety Verone McKinley III was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week after grabbing two interceptions against Stony Brook. He’s going to be firing on all cylinders against an team that has collectively thrown four interceptions this season.

It’s going to be hard for Arizona to get any traction against this Ducks defense. They’re only allowing 19.7 points per game through Week 3 and should continue that trend against the Wildcats. These Wildcats are only scoring 16.3 points per game, so expect Oregon to hold Arizona well under its season total.
