Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Oregon Ducks Predictions

Nebraska vs. Oregon odds

Oregon is a 7.5-point home favorite against Nebraska. The Ducks are -298 on the moneyline, the Cornhuskers are +240, and the total is 52.5 with -110 odds on either side.

Those prices favor Oregon, but no season statistics or recent results are available to show whether either team has performed well enough to justify a wager. The best betting decision is to pass.

Injuries limit Oregon and Nebraska

Ducks Wire, syndicated by AOL, reported that Oregon quarterback Dante Moore is out. OregonLive, syndicated by Yahoo, reported that Moore remains in concussion protocol after missing the Ducks' previous game. Ducks Wire also listed receivers Evan Stewart as doubtful and Jeremiah McClellan as out, while running back Simeon Price and offensive lineman Trent Ferguson are out. Those absences make Oregon difficult to back at -7.5 despite its status as the home favorite.

Nebraska has significant defensive losses. Defensive backs Jamir Conn, Rex Guthrie and Kahmir Prescott, linebackers Jase Reynolds and Jacob Bower, and defensive lineman Gabe Moore are out. Defensive lineman Riley Van Poppel is doubtful. That group of absences makes Nebraska difficult to trust against the favored Ducks.

The final Big Ten availability report is due two hours before kickoff. Oregon is the more likely winner based on the SPF price and home field, but the injury reports don't establish value on the spread, moneyline or total.
