2024 Oregon Ducks College Football Betting

After two seasons on the job, Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning has validated the decision of the football program to hire him away from Georgia, where he served as defensive coordinator. Lanning learned the most important lesson about college football success while at Georgia. UGA head coach Kirby Smart is a recruiting beast and continues to produce the highest-rated classes on an annual basis. Lanning has taken that lesson to Oregon where he has significantly improved the roster quality.

In 2023, Oregon was a near miss for the College Football Playoff but failed to beat its arch-rival Washington Huskies in two tries, including the Pac-12 Championship Game. This year, Oregon and Washington join UCLA and USC in moving from the Pac-12 to Big Ten. Oregon is among the popular choices to threaten Ohio State for the Big Ten title.

2024 Oregon Ducks Betting Preview

Oregon boasts one of the most talented rosters in college football and should be instant contenders in the new-look Big Ten. New quarterback Dillon Gabriel should keep coordinator Will Stein’s offense producing at an elite clip, but Oregon will need new faces to step up for its defense to continue ascending.

The Ducks had one of the most explosive (531.4 ypg) and high-scoring (44.2 ppg) offenses in all of college football last year. Offensive coordinator Will Stein brought in former Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel to keep it that way.

The Ducks lost a slew of top weapons to the draft, but the cupboard is far from bare. Tez Johnson, the program’s single-season receptions leader, returns, along with veterans Traeshon Holden and Gary Bryant Jr. Wide receivers coach Junior Adams bolstered the room by snagging former Texas A&M wideout Evan Stewart in the portal and signing blue-chip recruits.

Rimington Trophy-winning center Jackson Powers-Johnson has turned pro. Still, plenty of contributors, headlined by Iapani Laloulu and a pair of starting bookend tackles, return to anchor another strong offensive line.

Oregon’s defense made significant strides last season, getting to the quarterback for 34 sacks. However, the Ducks will have a new-look interior defensive line in 2024 after losing four veterans. Houston transfer Jamaree Caldwell enters the mix to provide size and push. Defensive end Jordan Burch may be the best of the bunch, but fans are excited about the growth of Matayo Uiagalelei, Teitum Tuioti, and Blake Purchase.

An athletic duo of Justin Jacobs and Jeffrey Bassa should form one of the better linebacker tandems nationally while promising up-and-comers Devon Jackson and Jerry Mixon will likely earn more snaps.

The secondary will see a shift as well. Fortunately for Oregon, experienced transfers Jabbar Muhammad (Washington) and Kam Alexander (UTSA) bulk up a cornerbacks group loaded with returning talent, including Jahlil Florence and Nikko Reed.

Former Kansas State DB Kobe Savage and veteran Tysheem Johnson headline the safety group. Defensive backs coach Chris Hampton plans to shore up depth with players like Brandon Johnson (Duke transfer) and Khamari Terrell, among others.

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.
