Cal Irvine at Oregon

Oregon is off to a 3-0 start. They pounded Portland State last game winning 116-68. They easily covered the 19 point spread. But let's look at their first two games. They were 15.5 point favorites against CS-Northridge and 20.5 point favorites against Lehigh. They covered neither of those games. This spread is too high, given what has transpired. Irvine is 2-2 and they are really struggling to score. But, they have played excellent defense, holding their four opponents to 60.5 points on average. Sure, Oregon should win this fairly easily. But, will they have the motivation or the desire to win by 20+? Based on what we've seen so far, we don't think so.
