Gameday Ditch: Christian's Utah Picks
Plus a very brief preview of today's XC National Championship.
Before we get to today’s bet, this Gameday Ditch is coming to you early because in 13 short minutes (7 AM PST) your Oregon Duck Men’s & Women’s Cross Country teams will be running in the NCAA National Championships in Tallahassee on ESPNU.
If we’re being straight up, it’s not feeling like either team will seriously challenge for the team titles—those will probably go to a mountain school—but Cooper Teare and Aaron Bienenfeld have a serious chance to grab top ten individual finishes.
And Teare even has an outside chance for glory.
It’ll most likely be Coop’s last race in an Oregon uniform, so start your gameday right, and watch some running.
And now let’s talk business.

Here’s his week-in-review:
Official Picks:
Wazzu +13.5 - Miss
Week 11 Record: (0-1)
Season Record: (6-6) + Leans: (9-6)
I hate to say it, but that’s what Christian gets for picking against the Ducks.
But it’s a new week, which means a new chance to get back in the money.
For the third time this season, the Ducks are road dogs:
And honestly, just going off of how Ohio State and UCLA went down, I welcome that +3 with open arms. And ESPN College Gameday’s resident gambler, Chris “The Bear” Fallica, agrees with me.
Christian is riding with me and The Bear, too. He kept it real simple this week:
Ducks moneyline.
When the universe gives you +140 on the third-ranked team in the nation, you’re just supposed to say thank you and go on your merry way.
Happy Gameday.
Stop Coop.
Go Ducks.
