Oregon Ducks Big Ten Championship Betting Lines
Dan Lanning was hired as head coach of the Oregon Ducks based on his success as defensive coordinator of the Georgian Bulldogs and connections to UGA head coach Kirby Smart. Smart is known for being a recruiting machine, and Lanning was one of the top assets in those efforts. Oregon hired Lanning for the long haul after having coaches bail on the program for other jobs. Lanning has transformed Oregon into the #1 ranked team in the nation in his third season at the helm. This week brings the Big Ten Championship Game against the Penn State Nittany Lions.

It's the final regular season game for the No. 1 Oregon Ducks, and the Ducks beat their Big Ten Conference rival, the Washington Huskies, at home in Autzen Stadium.
Oregon's biggest highlight in this contest was its defense. Eight different Ducks contributed to 10 sacks, tying the program record for single-game sacks. Matayo Uiagalelei continued to soar for the Ducks, with two sacks, two tackles for loss, three solo tackles, and six joined tackles. He currently has ten sacks on the year.
However, Eugene, Oregon native senior linebacker Bryce Boettcher had a season highlight game. He led the team with 11 total tackles, four solo, one sack, two tackles for loss, and one essential forced fumble that led to an Oregon scoring drive. The senior even brought out a baseball bat to the coin toss to begin the game, referencing getting drafted by the MLB team, the Houston Astros. Dan Lanning called him the "definition of consistency" in his post-game press conference.
Speaking of the offense, Dillon Gabriel went 16-23 in passing for 209 yards and two touchdowns. Jordan James was a huge key to this victory, with 40 receiving yards and 99 rushing yards with two touchdowns.

The Oregon Ducks are not a traditional blue blood power. Instead, they are a new brand with recent success. Since 1994, Oregon has had nine conference championships and two appearances in the national championship game.
Oregon became a national power thanks largely to its partnership with Nike. Nike Chairman Phil Knight is an Oregon alum and passionate booster. Located in the obscure town of Eugene, Oregon, they found it hard to attract recruits. Thanks to Nike that is no longer a problem.
Knight has invested hundreds of billions of dollars in world-class athletic facilities and branding. Oregon was the first program to wear multiple wild uniforms and many other schools have since emulated. And with NIL benefits now a major concern of recruits, Nike should also be an asset in that area.
Great Oregon players of the past include Joey Harrington, DeForest Buckner, LaMichael James, De’Anthony Thomas, Marcus Mariota, and Royce Freeman.
