Oregon opens as two-score favorite for Week 5 matchup with Stanford
After a thrilling comeback in Pullman helped the Oregon Ducks escape with a win in Week 4, they are being tabbed as heavy favorites for their next game.
Vegas Insider has No. 15 Oregon (4-1, 1-0) as a 10.5-point favorite over Stanford (1-2, 0-2) for their Week 5 matchup in Eugene.
The Ducks are 2-2 against the spread this season. They failed to cover in Week 1 against Georgia but covered the 27.5 line in its win over Eastern Washington and the 3.5-point line in its win over BYU. Oregon nearly covered the 6.5-point spread in Pullman on Saturday, but the Cougars punched in a touchdown with two seconds to go that cut the margin of victory to three points.
Oregon and Stanford are scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. PT at Autzen Stadium on Saturday.
