Utah Utes +8.5
This team is doing many little things well, like kickoff and punt returns, sacking opponent quarterbacks, punting, they are not missing many field goals, and not missing any extra points, they are not turning the ball over much, they are not getting too many penalties, and their defense is among the best defenses in the conference. They have a good home field advantage and these teams are always on my bet list when getting the points at home. Also, they are 32-17 ATS in last 49 home games played in week 10 or later. So, altitude and cold weather this time of year obviously helps this team. As for Oregon, they are 9-19 ATS in last 28 when favored on the road in week 10 or later. Last season they lost both games this late in the season as favorites, as -19 at Arizona and as -10 at Stanford. They had a very big and emotional double revenge win against Stanford last week so they could be in for a letdown this week. Last 21 teams that played Stanford the previous week are 4-17 ATS in their following game.
