Oregon Ducks CFB Week 12 Betting Lines
The Oregon Ducks have become one of the most popular teams on the board in 2024. Oregon is in its first season as a member of the Big Ten Conference; Oregon agreed to join the Big Ten at a discount rate of pay after the implosion of the Pac-12. All things considered, Oregon should get a raise. Head coach Dan Lanning and the Ducks are rolling, undefeated, and among the top favorites for the national championship. This week, the Ducks hit the road to face the Wisconsin Badgers. Head coach Luke Fickell’s Badgers have lost their old identity of running the ball complemented by a punishing defense.

Oregon Ducks Weekly Recap
Last game, the Oregon Ducks won 39-18 against the Maryland Terrapins as 24-point home favorites. The game went under the total of 58. Oregon has a record of 10-0 straight up, 5-5 against the spread, and 4-6 over/under the total. Oregon ranks 13th for total offense, 15th for passing, 56th for rushing and 19th for scoring.

Now, 10-0, the No.1 Oregon Ducks are still perfect. From a high-flying offense led by Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback Dillon Gabriel to an impressive, hard-hitting defense, the Ducks are on fire. Adding their 10th win against the Maryland Terrapins at Autzen Stadium, the Ducks are hoping to continue their high level of dominance going into their final two-game stretch. However, there were some flaws in Oregon's seemingly impenetrable armor.
The biggest issue for the Ducks is their unnecessary penalties. Oregon ended the game with 12 penalties, costing the team 95 yards, the most penalties they've accrued all season. Pre-snap penalties and false starts on offense hurt momentum for moving the ball, and defensively, costly mistakes gave Maryland multiple first downs on crucial plays.
However, a shining spot was quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Gabriel went 23-34 on passing with 183 yards and three touchdowns. Gabriel broke the NCAA career touchdown record in the third quarter, picking up 179 total touchdowns.
“You can't ignore Dillon Gabriel becoming the all-time touchdown leader in the NCAA," Lanning said after the win. "A really special moment, even if he'd be the first to say he doesn’t care. We celebrated that with him tonight, and I'm glad we could."
The punt return felt like an open audition for the Ducks after wide receiver Tez Johnson was out for an undefined amount of time with a right upper-body injury. Evan Stewart, Gary Bryant Jr, and Noah Whittington all had chances to field punt returns to varying degrees of success.

The Oregon Ducks are not a traditional blue blood power. Instead, they are a new brand with recent success. Since 1994, Oregon has had nine conference championships and two appearances in the national championship game.
Oregon became a national power thanks largely to its partnership with Nike. Nike Chairman Phil Knight is an Oregon alum and passionate booster. Located in the obscure town of Eugene, Oregon, they found it hard to attract recruits. Thanks to Nike that is no longer a problem.
Knight has invested hundreds of billions of dollars in world-class athletic facilities and branding. Oregon was the first program to wear multiple wild uniforms and many other schools have since emulated. And with NIL benefits now a major concern of recruits, Nike should also be an asset in that area.
Great Oregon players of the past include Joey Harrington, DeForest Buckner, LaMichael James, De’Anthony Thomas, Marcus Mariota, and Royce Freeman.
