The Oregon Ducks aim to keep their perfect season intact as they clash with UCLA in a highly-anticipated Big Ten showdown this Saturday.
Despite being ranked No. 8 in the AP Top 25, Oregon’s performance out of the gates has been less than impressive as the Ducks narrowly escaped two early season upsets and are 1-2 against the spread (ATS).
When it comes to Oregon football odds Saturday, our expert projections crunched the spread, moneyline, and over/under for Week 5 vs. the Bruins, ultimately revealing a couple notable edges — one worth betting.

Collin Wilson’s Power Ratings rank Oregon at 94.5 (No. 6 in the country), while UCLA is much lower at 72.
According to the betting markets, quarterback Dillon Gabriel and Oregon’s high-powered offense are favored by 24.5 points, with the over/under set at 55.5.
Our in-depth PRO Projections, leveraging proprietary data from our team of college football experts, offer a different perspective.
The spread, according to Action PRO models, should ideally be around Oregon -20.2, yielding just a 0.5% edge compared to the current line.
Given that PRO Projections recommend betting edges of 3.5% or higher for optimal value, the spread doesn’t offer much value. However, the over/under’s a completely different story.
Oregon Pick for Week 5
The Oregon vs. UCLA over/under is set at 55.5, but our expert models indicate it should be closer to 52.8 points.
This discrepancy is significant because 55 is a key number in college football outcomes. Moreover, UCLA has struggled big time, failing to score more than 17 points in a single game.
