00:00One of those five remaining undefeated teams in the country, Joe.

00:06That's number one, Oregon.

00:07A perfect 9-0.

00:08And starting out this year, a couple of flaws, perhaps, for the Ducks, and certainly in Big

00:14Ten play.

00:15They did not cover in their first two in this new league, now they have covered in four

00:20straight.

00:21They're a 23.5 point home favorite today, back in Eugene, against a team that struggles

00:25mightily in Big Ten action.

00:27That is Maryland.

00:28How do you approach this matchup?

00:29Well, I think there's no doubt Oregon wins this game.

00:31Again, it's going to be very difficult, I believe, in terms of Maryland to score a lot

00:36of points on that defense, especially when you look at how dominant they were in the

00:41first half against the Wolverines.

00:43I will say this, though, from a defensive perspective, for Maryland, they're holding

00:47opposing offenses, Ben, to 105 rushing yards per game.

00:50They have held every team outside of Indiana under 125 yards rushing.

00:56You stuff Jordan James and you stuff those running backs for Oregon, you could force

01:00Dylan Gabriel into long third downs.

01:02I liked it better at 25, but I still like Maryland to cover this number with Billy Edwards

01:08on the road today, guys.

01:09Yeah, I couldn't get there.

01:11Maryland, their last two buys they've had, which is one this year and then one last year,

01:16were outright losses to Northwestern.

01:19So that didn't inspire a lot of confidence.

01:21I'm very interested to see how things play out without Tez Johnson here.

01:25I really cannot believe how my Evan Stewart bet played out last week, where he was my

01:31best bet.

01:32Tez gets injured.

01:33When I go, oh, I guess I kind of cheated.

01:35Now he's the number one.

01:37Forty-five yard touchdown gets called back in an incredible play.

01:40They go into the locker room, Dan Land is like, I promise you, he's got more coming.

01:45The first play that they get on offense is throwing the ball to Stewart.

01:49It's incomplete.

01:50I don't think they looked at him the rest of the game.

01:51We don't get through the number.

01:52I don't think he had another catch.

01:54Evan Stewart could break through numbers today.

01:56The thing is, for the Ducks, they just kind of rolled through these teams.

02:00None of it really matters.

02:02They are not chasing the Heisman for Dylan Gabriel this year, so that's not even something

02:06that I can play into the wagers.

02:08Oregon only allowed 270 total yards last week against Michigan in their five Big Ten games.

02:14Four of the five, 301 total yards or less.

02:17Ohio State the only team to exceed that.

02:19Here is the conference comparison between the two.

02:22Co-favorites to win the Big Ten.

02:23And of course, the Ducks have the head-to-head if it needs a spot in the Big Ten championship

02:28game and the two best prices to reach the college football playoffs.
