The Utah Utes are 4-1 straight up and against the spread in their last five road games against Pac-12 opponents. Utah seeks another big road upset in the conference this Saturday night when it visits the Oregon Ducks in Eugene.
Utah vs. Oregon odds and lines: Ducks favored over undefeated Utes
The Utah Utes will try to remain undefeated facing an extremely tough road test this Saturday against the double-digit favorite Oregon Ducks.

Utah is going off as an 11-point underdog on Saturday, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Utes have won outright in each of their last two games as a double-digit road underdog in the conference, upsetting UCLA and Stanford last season.
Arguably the most underrated team in the Pac-12, the Utah Utes had an impressive campaign in 2014 going 9-4 SU and ATS. The Utes have picked up where they left off in 2015, starting the season off with a 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS record in non-conference play. If Utah wants to place its name among the contenders in the Pac-12 nationally, a win on the road against Oregon would be an excellent place to start.
Utah Utes vs. Oregon Ducks
When: Sat., Sept. 26, 8:30 p.m. ET
Where: Autzen Stadium, Eugene, Oregon
Betting Line / Total: Oregon -11 / 66.5 Points
In their last seven games on the road, the Utah Utes are 6-1 SU and ATS per the OddsShark College Football Database. The Utes have three outright upsets over that stretch.
The Oregon Ducks had their chances to win in a hard-fought game on the road against the Michigan State Spartans back in Week 2, but eventually fell 31-28 as a 5-point underdog. This week, the Ducks are up against another tough defensive team, but will have home field advantage on their side this time around.
Oregon is 15-1 SU in its last 16 games at home, but is just 4-7 ATS over its last 11 over that stretch.
Saturday’s total is currently set at 66.5 points. The OVER is 2-0 in Utah’s last two road games and 4-1 in Oregon’s last five home games.
If not for a boneheaded fumble on the goal line due to an early celebration against Oregon last year, the Utes may have upset the Ducks outright. The Utes may not have the offensive firepower for an outright upset at Autzen stadium, but the team is built to play close games with strong line play and a solid defense.
Utah should be able to keep it close as an 11-point underdog.
