Rutgers vs. Oregon CBB Prediction:
Take Rutgers. Oregon has struggled to cover of late, dropping eight out of its last 10 games at the window. While the Ducks did beat Northwestern 81-75 in their last game, Oregon failed to cover as a 10-point home favorite. That win also snapped a five-game losing skid for the Ducks. While the Scarlet Knights aren’t exactly in great form themselves (4-6 straight up over their last 10 games), at least they’ve covered in six out of their last 10 contests. This more about Oregon being overvalued at the window.
