AAA's AFTERNOON DEFENSIVE BATTLE (SIX STRAIGHT WINNING NCAAF SAT'S!)
(NCAAF) Colorado vs. Oregon,
Total: 73.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
This is an 8* DEFENSIVE BATTLE on the UNDER between Colorado and Oregon.

I think the Buffs can catch a complacent home side a little off guard today and keep this one more competitive than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe, ultimately when the smoke does finally clear at the end of this one, I expect this total to stay below this sky-high number.. Marcus Mariota and the Oregon Ducks are inching their way closer in reaching the College Football Playoffs, but I think come in a bit distracted as the team enjoys senior day and all the festivities and hype surrounding the event. Note that Oregon has already clinched a spot in the Pac-12 title game and is currently ranked No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings. I'm not going to try and convince you that Colorado is a good team, obviously it's horrible, but I do think the Buffs can control the clock through stretches today. Note that Mariota is likely going to be forced to work with a new center today as Hroniss Grasu suffered a leg injury in the Ducks' 51-27 win at then No. 20 Utah on November 8th. Also note that Oregon will be without the services of TE Pharaoh Brown, who was injured in the Utah win as well. Colorado is unsure at this point who will get the start under center, but one thing we can count on today from the Buffs while they're on offesnse is a steady dose of the run game, not only because they are averaging 172.9 yards per contest in Pac-12 contests (good enough for third in the conference), but also so as to limit Oregon's time of possession. Note that Colorado has seen the total go UNDER the number in 11 of its last 19 off a win vs. a conference rival, while Oregon has seen it dip below the posted number in its last six games following its bye week. All signs do indeed point to the UNDER as the correct move here.
