Oregon Ducks Football Get No love From Bookie
The Oregon Ducks football team may be ranked #5 by the Associated Press Top 25 for Week 4 of the 2010 College Football season, but don’t tell that to the oddsmakers at SBG Global.
“They have little confidence that the Ducks will go anywhere this season,” said Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com.
While most of the top 10 schools were listed with single odds of winning the 2011 BCS Championship, the Oregon Ducks were given 20/1 long odds.
“That’s a payout of $2000 for every $100 bet or $200 for every $10 bet,” Shapiro points out.
Schools ranked below Oregon were actually listed with shorter odds than Oregon. For example, the Oklahoma Sooners were ranked at #8 by the AP but had odds of 6/1 to win the 2011 BCS title.
Oregon destroyed Portland State on Saturday. Since 2004, only one other Pac-10 player has run for 200 or more yards on as few attempts as LaMichael James had.
"I had a lot of yards, yeah, but I didn't really play that well," he said. "I take that on myself."
Darron Thomas completed nine of 18 passes for 140 yards and a career-best four scores in that game.
Oregon is a -10 ½ road favorite against Arizona Statethis coming Saturday.
