Oregon football is going to be favored in nearly all of their games this fall, but one Big Ten Conference game has them as a slight underdog.

Sports wagering has taken over much of the American landscape over the past few years, and college football is no different.

Circa Sports has released their College Football Games of the Year Opening Lines. The Oregon Ducks are featured in several of their games.

The most-anticipated game of the year for Oregon has the Ducks as one point underdogs to Ohio State. The Buckeyes come to Eugene Oct. 12.

The Ducks are not underdogs in any of the other featured games.

In a now-Big Ten Conference game, Oregon is a 19 point favorite over Washington. The regular-season finale will be in Eugene Nov. 30. The Huskies have won the last three matchups, including twice last year: in Seattle and then in Las Vegas for the Pac-12 Championship.
