Oregon vs. Boise State betting odds had Oregon as the +4 underdog at Sports Interaction. The Oregon Ducks were getting more betting action than any other team in any other sport heading into Wednesday. This game goes off Thursday.
Oregon's last appearance vs. Boise State ended in a 37-32 loss on their own home field.
It's a feeling that lingers still entering Thursday's season-opening rematch in Boise, and one they vow they've learned from, according to John Hunt of the Oregonian.
"They are a huge motion and shift team and really create a lot of confusing situations for the defense, just before the ball is snapped," said Oregon head coach Chip Kelly, who believes the problems Oregon experienced last September are fixable, especially given the extra time to prepare and the experience of having seen it before.
"If you can look at a tape of your own players playing against them, it gives you a little better understanding," said Kelly, who was offensive coordinator last season. "The number one thing we need to concentrate and focus on is where our eyes are on the defensive side of the ball and making sure that we get lined up properly.
"If you don't get lined up properly, their shifts and motions will outnumber you on one side or the other, and they'll try to take advantage of it. It's a system that they run all the time. We're fortunate that we've had a little bit longer to prepare for them this time."
Some important facts to consider when betting on Oregon vs. Boise State:
The Ducks are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. WAC
The Ducks are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games in September.
