I know I have written a title like you see above every fall for the last couple of years, but this year it is much more real, with a much more daunting future than I could have imagined. Let’s look at the roster, and see if the Ducks actually have a “young” team. After I glanced over ChileDuck’s Oregon football …
Our Oregon football team has had a great offseason overall, but there’s a lot more question marks in the air from fans and writers around the sport that are hesitant to buy stock on Oregon’s new starting quarterback: Dante Moore. Even ol’ Mr. FishDuck took a break from his gaming fun at MLB betting picks to give me his take on …
Are Our Beloved Ducks the No. 1 program in all of Big-10 (B1G) sports? I had checked into this during the spring, and later heard we did well, but I wanted to investigate and report to my Duck-Buddies who read this site, and chat in the forum for us all to enjoy. I actually had to take a break from …
Previously, we looked at FanDuel’s odds for teams to make the 2025-26 College Football (CFB) Playoffs (PO) and whether a team’s strength of schedule (SOS) matched the odds. Several teams favored to make the Playoff had minus odds. For instance, Clemson at -128 means you would have to wager $128 to win $100 plus the return of your bet. All …
Oregon is preparing to enter its second season in the B1G. Though rivalries can take a long time to develop, it feels like we have some new rivalries brewing in the B1G. For the sake of simplicity I am not counting USC, UCLA and Washington on this list. They are our established longtime rivals from the Pac-12, and our hatred …
The Mark Helfrich era came to an abrupt end at the conclusion of the 2016 season. Athletic Director Rob Mullens quickly turned around and hired a young up-and-coming head coach from the University of South Florida, Willie Taggart. Taggart had an overall losing record prior to coming to Eugene, but that was less important than the signs of program improvement. …
As the Oregon Ducks prepare for the 2025-26 academic year, the program is making headlines across multiple sports with new player additions, coaching hires, and calls for reform at the national level. Our own Mr. FishDuck took a break from his betting analysis study at NCAAF Odds, and NCAAF Latest News to marvel at all the positive updates surrounding Our …
Two interesting questions: does a top CFB Playoff contender’s schedule match it’s gaming odds to make the new 12 team Playoff field? Who are the best bets to make the Playoff when comparing odds to their schedules, according to FanDuel? Cool questions, and let’s apply them to the Big-10 conference for fun! Of course our own Mr. FishDuck took a …
It is mid-July, and as I soak in the sun poolside with a cool drink in my hand, I am experiencing the annual conundrum of feeling excited about the beginning of a new football season, while simultaneously not wanting it to arrive too fast, as it signifies the start of the end of summer. I know — first world problems. …
Our Oregon football program had some massive turnover in this offseason at key positions. Usually, that’d leave most programs in a spot to rebuild, but head coach Dan Lanning has continued to do such an outstanding job recruiting year round that the Ducks are virtually always ready to reload. Even our own Mr. FishDuck took a break from his gaming fun at Slotozen to …
Former HC Mark Helfrich doesn’t get much love from a great portion of the Oregon fan base. He was the last of the decades-long tradition of continuity at Oregon, and in 2014 he was the man in charge when Oregon reached its peak (though we all hope to see Dan Lanning surpass that mark soon). In 2014 the Ducks won …
In today’s world of College Football (CFB), there are more preseason rankings than there are attempts to solve for Pi. Mathematicians tell us that Pi cannot be solved; similarly, preseason rankings will never be spot on especially when we are referring to SEC teams. Yet, our Mr. FishDuck had to take a break from his gaming study at PA sportsbook …
