After a shocking 10-point home loss to Indiana, No. 8 Oregon gets right back at it this week with a road matchup against Rutgers. The Ducks can pass the time on the roughly seven-hour flight by prepping for the 3:30 p.m. PT kickoff at SHI Stadium in Piscataway, N.J.

This is the furthest Oregon will travel for a conference game since joining the Big Ten last season. There may be some validity to the theory that Big Ten teams struggle on these excruciatingly long road trips, but the Ducks should have plenty of motivation following their first regular-season defeat since 2023.

The weekly Oregon odds list the Ducks as a three-possession favorite, with the total set at 59.5. Below are my Oregon vs. Rutgers expert predictions and betting picks.
