The Oregon Ducks will look to rebound from their first loss of the season against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Saturday. The Ducks took a tough loss at home against Indiana last weekend, but remain one of the most dangerous teams in the nation, particularly on offense. Rutgers is on a completely opposite trajectory, dropping three straight games to unranked opponents to end up at a 3-3 mark.
While Oregon should not be concerned about an outright win in this matchup, there are some reasons for Ducks fans to begin to worry. A double overtime win against Penn State is aging incredibly poorly, and losing to the Hoosiers by a couple of scores does not inspire confidence in a team that has national championship aspirations. However, the Ducks only have one more ranked team on the schedule (No. 20 USC), almost ensuring that they cruise to a postseason berth.
Three straight wins brought on some hope around this upstart Rutgers team, but that has since dissipated. The Knights have lost to Iowa, Minnesota, and Washington in consecutive weeks, and now they have a date with a Top 10 opponent. Even with home-field advantage, just hanging around in this game would likely signify Rutgers' best effort of the season.

Oregon vs Rutgers Prediction and Pick
Bill Speros of Bookies.com writes, "The now No. 8 Ducks take flight to the East Coast after getting plucked by Indiana at home Saturday. Oregon (5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS, 2-1 Big Ten) missed three covers when their line was under 26 points. But Rutgers (3-3 SU, 3-3 ATS, 0-3 Big Ten) has allowed 107 points in its 3 conference games. Oregon's offense will right itself this week, even with the jet lag. The Ducks' defense bullies the Scarlet Knights into wishing they stayed in the Big East."
Frankly, it is a bit surprising that the spread is as close as it is. The Ducks should come out with a vengeance after a tough loss to an excellent opponent, and there is no reason to think that Rutgers will improve upon their listless last three contests. The Ducks should put all of their offensive firepower on display in a total blowout from whistle to whistle. The over is also worth a look on Saturday.
