Oregon Ducks vs Montana State Bobcats: Betting Odds
The Ducks started the season on a very positive note, winning their first game at home against Florida A&M (80-45) but losing the following game at home against the UC Irvine Anteaters (56-69).
N'Faly Dante has been the main man for the Ducks so far. The big center has been among the top scorers for the team in both games. He played 26 minutes in the first and managed to score 16 points, along with 10 rebounds and an assist. In the second game, he was even better. Dante played 28 minutes and scored 20 points in a losing cause.
They will now host their third consecutive home game, which the team would like to win in style.
The Bobcats also have a win and a loss in their opening two games. They opened their account with a loss away from home against the Grand Canyon Antelopes (60-54) but bounced back in the second game to win against the Long Beach State 49ers (70-57). This will be their game on the road and they would like it to end on a good note.

Both teams have fought against each other only once, back in 2009, when the home team came out as the winner. The Ducks have a slight advantage being the home team and Montana don't have that big of a chance. The Ducks come from a bigger and better conference compared to where the Bobcats come from. Expect the Ducks to win this contest.
Final Prediction: Ducks -11 (-110)
