re: OFFICIAL Week 11 CFB bet thread - dcrews, I need you

What are yall thinking of Notre Dame Arizona state? I'm kind of liking Notre Dame especially if you can get it +3.

I think it's too many points. SLC is a weird venue where strange things happen. Utah is a very physical running team which can keep Mariota off the field. This is only Oregon's third "true" road game against an opponent that likely won't beat themselves. I see it as a 1-possession game.

Oregon is playing ground and pound teams very well. Buckner, Balducci, and Armstead/Kamp go 290, 315, 290 with Washington, Coleman, Walker, Hardrick going 250, 240, 240, 248. It's a big front seven that struggles in space but not when teams come at them. We are getting Mattingly more reps as well at 250 at ILB - big throwback kid that puts his body on the line. I think this is a really bad matchup for Utah.

Utah's defense is ranked well because they've played some awful offenses at the right time as well.

SLC is a weird venue though and this is coming off a big win for Oregon.
