1* free play on the Oregon Ducks...

The Oregon Ducks are hosting USC this Saturday, and Oregon is coming off a shocking road win at Stanford, handing the Cardinal their first loss in conference play. They come into this weekend's game as winners of four straight, and their offense is looking every bit as dangerous as it was during the Marcus Mariota era. My money is on the Ducks to keep this win streak going.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Vernon Adams Jr. - The senior quarterback is finally living up to expectations after battling injury early in the season. He suffered a broken finger against Eastern Washington in Week 1, and played hurt in the loss to Michigan State. He was forced out of the Ducks next game in the first half, and they were blown out at home by Utah. He sat out the next two weeks, but returned after the loss to Washington State. He's since thrown for over 1000 yards with a dozen TDs and just three INTs during Oregon's four game winning streak.

2. Previous History - The Trojans are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, while the Ducks are 26-9 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

3. X-Factor - USC has not looked good on the road this season, and nearly lost to last place Colorado last week. The Trojans are 7-16 ATS in their last 23 road games.
