How will California and Oregon’s College Football teams fare in 2016? Gambling911.com has the latest odds for the Ducks, Cardinal, Fresno State, San Diego State and more.
From the New York Times:
Stanford may have dashed Oregon's championship hopes in each of the last two years, but the Ducks can at least offer this taunt: We control more of Stanford's home state than Stanford does. Oregon dominates much of Northern California, but loyalty shifts to local teams around the Bay Area. (Earlier, we told you that fans in Berkeley preferred Oregon – they do not, Facebook's corrected data makes clear.) Stanford has only a modest chunk of territory, not much bigger geographically than San Jose State's and smaller than Fresno State's. In the south, the San Diego State Aztecs manage to hold their own.
Yes Stanford is right in the mix among teams vying for a College Football Championship at 35-1 odds but Oregon is right there at 45-1 odds.
Stanford was a big -145 favorite to win OVER 8.5 regular season games while Oregon was priced at -115 to do the same.
San Diego State, meanwhile, was a huge favorite to win OVER 9.5 regular season games at -185, which by the way was a game more than Stanford is expected to win (8.5).
