A look at the schedule over the past several years shows that Oregon, and their high-octane offense commands huge numbers against the line. They may be as good as ever with QB Marcus Mariota leading the offense in a year where he is a top Heisman Trophy win candidate. The Ducks were going to be tested early against a savvy and tough Michigan State defense, but hurt them with 46 points and just shy of 500 yards. They certainly have the potential to get to 65 or more here vs. Wyoming. The last two teams they played that are not from a power conference resulted in wins of 49 and 63 points. Wyoming has mustered all of 17 points in each game vs. the likes of Air Force and Montana, and will struggle to move the ball here vs. a much quicker and athletic unit than they have seen. The Cowboys have a 1-7 ATS mark in their last eight vs. a winning team does not bode well here, nor does the Ducks' 6-1 ATS mark in their last seven outside the conference where they keep the pedal to the metal. Play on Oregon.
