The Colorado Buffaloes have hit a rough patch, having lost five of their last seven games overall. Tonight they get the chance to bounce back against a team they have already beaten once this year, the Oregon Ducks. The good news is that the Buffaloes not only won but won as eight-point underdogs. The bad news is that it was their only ATS in their last six games. Take from that what you will.

To their credit, the Ducks bounced back after being upset and beat up on the Oregon State Beavers 78-56 and I think present a great value as 2.5 point favorites. Here are the odds for this Pac-12 matchup, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

Oregon vs. Colorado Prediction and Pick

Despite their recent upset win, the Buffaloes are a team in the midst of a massive slump. Don’t let a fluke win distract from the fact that the Buffaloes have been a bad team over the last month. Their offense has been particularly suss and currently rank 199th in the nation in overall scoring. The Buffaloes rank 158th in three-point shooting percentage, 262nd in two-point shooting percentage, and 233rd in effective field goal percentage. More like ineffective field goal percentage am I right? Cue rimshot. Corny jokes aside, the Buffaloes offense is bad and I don’t think they have another upset performance in the tank. Their defense is not too shabby, but I don’t think it will be enough tonight to keep this game within three points. 

While the Ducks aren’t blowing the doors off anyone, they have an above-average offense that ranks 83rd in scoring and 25th in shooting percentage. Oregon's defense is also above average and allows opponents 68.3 PPG and just 32.8 rebounds. 

I think the odds here were influenced too much by a recent fluke loss for Oregon and they bounce back and cover this spread with relative ease. 

Pick: Oregon -2.5 (-105)
