This season, the over for Oregon is 3-0 and the Ducks are averaging 57.7 points a game.  Both defenses have posted some good numbers, with the Ducks giving up 11 points and Stanford gives up 13.7 points.

This season, the Ravens average 14.7 points, while giving up 13.7. The Ravens average 302 yards total offense, while giving up 244 yards on defense. The Steelers average 24 points and 289 yards total offense, while their defense has given up an average of 11 points a game and 279 total yards. Both teams have gone over only once in three games. With a number so low, just one or two turnovers or a special teams play and it is suddenly an over.
