Oregon vs. Syracuse picks and predictions
Prediction
Oregon 78, Syracuse 72
Moneyline
PASS.
The Ducks are red hot, especially for bettors; but at -192, avoid a moneyline play and take the spread.
Against the spread
BET OREGON -4.5 (-110).
The Ducks have covered in 4 straight games and have covered in each game against a Power 5 opponent. They were favored in 2 of those and won both outright. Oregon has covered 3 straight games as favorites.
It is aided by a low floor as both its top scorers shoot 45% from the field or better, giving them consistently efficient offense. The Orange are 0-3 ATS as the underdogs and are 2-3 ATS against Power 5 opponents.
Considering both those trends, take OREGON -4.5 (-110).
