\"\"<\/a>
Oregon Ducks star De’Anthony Thomas has been electrifying in the first three games this year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Arizona has moved into the national rankings due to its perfect 3-0 start, but the program will now leave the desert for the first time under first-year head coach Rich Rodriguez.\u00a0 \u201cThey\u2019ve got a lot of fast guys playing fast,\u201d commented Rodriguez earlier this week.\u00a0 The Wildcats have taken to his spread-offense system, averaging 604.7 yards per game, with quarterback Matt Scott putting up big numbers.\u00a0 The senior has thrown for a career-high 995 yards and is 7-1 as a starter.\u00a0 Arizona is 4-6 ATS as an underdog the last two-plus seasons, which is something to handicap when making your Week 4 college football predictions.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats are also averaging 247 rushing yards per game, which is a drastic improvement from ranking 114th in that category a year ago.\u00a0 Arizona has played nine true freshmen thus far, which is tied for third-most among Pac-12 Conference teams.\u00a0 This series has produced some fast-paced, high-scoring contests over the last six seasons, with the teams combining to average 75.7 points per game.\u00a0 Saturday\u2019s visitor has lost four of the last six meetings.<\/p>\n

Oregon has won 23 of 37 meetings in this series, including a 12-4 mark when playing in Eugene.\u00a0 The Ducks earned a 56-31 victory in last year\u2019s meeting as 14.5-point road favorites, while they sailed over the posted total of 65.\u00a0 Total players will find that the OVER has cashed in four straight contests between these two rivals.\u00a0 Head coach Chip Kelly\u2019s offense ranks fifth nationally in averaging 54.0 points per game.\u00a0 Oregon is 4-0 ATS as a home favorite of 21.5 to 28 points, with the OVER going 3-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Ducks have a legitimate 2012 Heisman Trophy candidate in all-purpose player De\u2019Anthony Thomas, who happens to be tied for the national lead with seven touchdowns.\u00a0 Oregon has scored 30 or more points in 16 straight games, and will put its current six-game win streak on the line, which is the longest among conference members.\u00a0 If this game happens to be close in the final quarter, it\u2019s important to note that the program is one of five that hasn\u2019t made a field goal this year.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the Ducks as one of their NCAA football picks this week, as they\u2019ve gone 5-1 ATS as favorites of 21.5 to 31 points.<\/p>\n
