Courtesy of OddsShark.com: Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: Top-ranked Oregon takes on UCLA, while the NLCS continues with Game 5 in San Francisco, and the Maple Leafs host the Rangers.
Colliding on the gridiron . . .
No. 1 Oregon will look to hold onto their top ranking on Thursday night when they play host to UCLA. The Ducks (6-0 SU, 3-2 ATS) rolled to a 43-23 road win over Washington State last time out, with LaMichael James rushing for 136 yards and two touchdowns. The Bruins (3-3 SU, 2-4 ATS) were throttled 35-7 on the road by California in their last game, with quarterback Kevin Prince (questionable, knee injury) going just 13 of 31 for 99 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Oddsmakers have Oregon pegged as big 24-point home favorites for Thursday’s matchup, with the total listed at 61 points.
