Both are coming off a bye, having not played since Saturday, Sept. 20.<\/p>\n<h3>Arizona<\/h3>\n<p>The Arizona Wildcats have been ultra efficient on offense this season. They&#8217;re scoring 42 points per contest, which is good enough for 16th in the nation, and they&#8217;re doing it while excelling both on the ground and through the air.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63738&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The Wildcats are 29th in the nation in rushing yards per game (228.0) and eighth in passing yards per game (364.8).<\/p>\n<p>The problem is defense. The team is 77th nationwide; although pat of that is because of a 49-45 (W) shootout Sept. 20 against the California Golden Bears.<\/p>\n<p>Against Oregon, Arizona will need to be better against the pass than it&#8217;s been this season. The team is giving up nearly 300 yards per game in that category, and it is just 116th in the country as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for the Wildcats, quarterback is where Oregon keeps its Heisman candidate, Marcus Mariota. Arizona needs the showing of a lifetime against the pass if it hopes to contain The Flyin&#8217; Hawaiian.<\/p>\n<h3>Oregon<\/h3>\n<p>The Oregon Ducks are the No. 2 team in the country for a reason, but their defense is under question following their narrow win over the Washington State Cougars two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The hope in Eugene is that the team has worked on pass defense with the bye week in their favor, as they&#8217;re going up against another elite passing offense in the Arizona Wildcats.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, the Ducks\u00a0have been beaten and battered on the offensive line. Injuries have hurt this team so far, but that hasn&#8217;t stopped the team from being productive.<\/p>\n<p>Passing the ball, Oregon is 16th in the country, tossing for 330 yards per contest. On the ground, the team is 33rd, rushing for 225.3 yards per game.<\/p>\n<p>In total, the Ducks are averaging 48.5 points per game (fourth nationwide) while allowing 21.3 (42nd).<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63739&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<h3>NCAA Football Handicapping Trends:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>ORE are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall.<\/li>\n<li>Over is 35-16-1 in ORE last 52 home games.<\/li>\n<li>ORE are 13-6 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.<\/li>\n<li>ARIZ are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Week 6 NCAA Football<\/h3>\n<p>Barring a catastrophic showing from the Ducks &#8212; not unlike what they put on display last season against the Wildcats &#8212; they should walk away with the victory. They have home-field advantage on national television, and the team should be pumped to get a win against the squad that knocked them out of BCS Bowl competition less than a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>The problem for Oregon, as it has been lately, is that it is favored heavily by oddsmakers. This isn&#8217;t a concern straight up, but the team hasn&#8217;t performed well against the spread as of late.<\/p>\n<h3>Free NCAA Betting Pick 4*\u00a0Oregon -23.5<\/h3>\n<p>Knowing what we know about Oregon ATS, it&#8217;s easy to shy away from a 23.5-point spread. Then again, it&#8217;s going up against a subpar defense at home, so even if the game is close early, expect the Ducks to pull away late.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our\u00a0<a title=\"College Football Week 6 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/ncaaf.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated College Football Week 6 Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 6:\u00a0Wildcats vs. Ducks Week 6 college betting action sees the Arizona Wildcats\u00a0taking on the No. 2\u00a0Oregon Ducks\u00a0in Eugene, Ore.
