Betting Pick & Score Prediction

The Oregon Ducks are a really good basketball team. The Ducks are well coached, and have really good athletes. Ask the UCLA Bruins how good Oregon is. They found out, with their first loss of the season. Oregon can really score the basketball, and will face a tough California team. The Bears have been playing defense, but in this game they are going to have a tough time. Look for Dillon Brooks and Chris Boucher to put up points in this game. The final bet for the Pac-12 game on Thursday is the Oregon Ducks -12.5 over the California Bears.
