Oregon Ducks at Utah Utes Prediction

The Ducks are on a mighty roll winning 14 straight after a poor 2-2 start to the season. The Utes are also playing good ball with 7 wins in their last 9 games and are a very respectable 5-2 in their conference. They're on a nice point spread run getting the cover in 5 straight games and going 6-0-1 in Pacific-12 matches. One negative is apparent though. Utah has lost every game against a top flight opponent this season and Oregon fits that bill.
