CFB Week 11 Oregon vs. Wisconsin: Game Props and Player Prop Bets

Oregon is two wins away from clinching a spot in the Big Ten championship game in its inaugural season. The Ducks’ next opponent is Wisconsin on Saturday in Madison, Wisconsin.

It’s been pretty smooth sailing for Oregon in conference play, and oddsmakers suggest Saturday’s game will be no different. The Ducks are 14-point favorites against the Badgers despite playing on the road.

Wisconsin has lost twice in a row, including last weekend’s 42-10 loss to Iowa. Oregon has won four straight by at least 21 points. Will the Ducks continue to steal against the Badgers?

Here are our best bets on the best Oregon vs. Wisconsin games and player props.

Oregon team scores over 33.5 points

Best Odds: -112 on FanDuel Sportsbook

The Ducks have scored at least 31 points in every game, and there’s no reason to think that trend will stop on Saturday. We can take this trend further because Oregon has scored at least 34 points in all four road games.

As long as quarterback Dillon Gabriel is the quarterback and stars like Jordan James, Noah Whittington, Evan Stewart and Traeshon Holden surround him, the Ducks’ offense will be explosive.

Monitor James’ statuswho had just one carry in the second half of last week’s win over Maryland due to injury. Senior receiver Tez Johnson remains sidelined with injury. Despite these two absences, Oregon still scored 38 points.

This week, they face a Wisconsin defense that gave up 42 points to Iowa last week. The Badgers gave up 42 points to Alabama and 38 to Southern California. In other words, when they play a team with a powerful offense, they rarely slow them down.

Total Oregon vs. Wisconsin: under 52.5 points

Best Odds: -115 on BetMGM sports betting

Even if we give Oregon credit for at least 34 points, Wisconsin still has a lot of work to do to eclipse that 52.5 point total. If the Ducks get to 38 points, the Badgers need to score more than 14, and with the way quarterback Braedyn Locke is playing, that seems like too much to ask.

Wisconsin scored 10 points last week against Iowa and 13 the week before against Penn State. Locke is 37-for-71 (52.1%) for 354 yards and one touchdown with three interceptions. The ground game hasn’t been good either, as the Badgers have totaled 205 rushing yards over the past two weeks.

The Badgers are dealing with an off-field problem after senior advisor Jack Del Rio was arrested for driving a vehicle while intoxicated. It’s a bad time for Wisconsin. Things will get worse when Oregon storms into Camp Randall Stadium and shuts down its offense.

First half point spread: Oregon -6.5

Best Odds: -150 on Bet365 Sportsbook

Oregon made a habit of starting fast and building a lead by halftime. The Ducks are averaging 25.1 points per first half in conference play. Oregon’s opponents have not scored more than 10 points in the first half of a Big Ten game.

With Wisconsin’s offense expected to struggle, it’s fair to expect the Badgers to score no more than 10 points in the first half on Saturday. In this case, Oregon would only need 17 points before halftime to cover that bet.

You can get better odds on Oregon -7.5 at several sportsbooks, but narrowing that spread to 6.5 points protects you if the halftime score is 17-10.
