The No. 13 Oregon Ducks will be looking to get back on track this weekend when they host No. 10 Utah in Eugene.

As of now, they are being tabbed as heavy favorites to do just that.

Vegas Insider has tabbed Oregon as a 3-point favorite over the Utes. The total currently sits at 61.5, while the Ducks are -140 on the moneyline and the Utes are +116.

The Ducks (8-2, 6-1 Pac-12) are coming off a 37-34 upset loss to rival Washington that dashed their College Football Playoff hopes.

Utah (8-2, 6-1) thrashed Stanford 42-7 in Salt Lake City on Saturday.

Oregon’s players will have revenge on their minds after the Utes dealt them two losses last season — the first of which knocked the Ducks out of national title contention.

The second loss came 13 days later in the Pac-12 title game.

This season, the Ducks are 7-3 against the spread. They failed to cover as 16.5-point underdogs in their Week 1 loss to Georiga and as 6.5-point favorites in their Week 4 win over Washington State.

They covered as 27.5-point favorites over Eastern Washington in Week 2, as 3.5-point favorites over BYU in Week 3, as 17.5-point favorites in their Week 5 win over Stanford, as 10.5-point favorites over Arizona in their blowout Week 6 win, as 7-point favorites over UCLA in Week 8, as 16.5-point favorites over Cal in Week 9, and as 31.5-point favorites over Colorado in Week 10.

They failed to cover as 13.5-point favorites in last Saturday’s home loss to Washington.

The Ducks and Utes are scheduled to kickoff at 7:30 p.m. PT at Autzen Stadium. The game will air on ESPN.
