Moneyline tickets are almost dead even, but 90% of moneyline cash is on Oregon -250.

BetMGM's total went from 66.5 to 69 by Thursday afternoon and is now 68.5. Practically all the early action is on the Over, with tickets and money 9/1-plus.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Oregon takes a big step up in level of competition this week. In Week 1, the Ducks (1-0 SU and ATS) flatlined FCS foe Portland State 81-7 as a monster 48.5-point favorite.

On the flip side, Texas Tech (0-1 SU and ATS) went to Wyoming as a 14-point favorite and left with a 35-33 double-overtime loss.

The Ducks are up to -7 at TwinSpires, with early ticket count 6/1 and early money 9/1 on the favorite.

"Oregon is a very popular play. That's not a surprise after Oregon's performance last week and Tech losing outright as a 14-point fave. We're going to need the home 'dog in this one," Lucas said.

TwinSpires' total is up a point to 68, with ticket count 2.5/1 and money 3/1 on the Over.
