Ranked No. 3 in the BCS standings, the Ducks have fared poorly against the spread of late, going 2-4 this season. Meanwhile, the Sun Devils have done well, going 5-1 thus far. As far as trends are concerned, Oregon holds the history in its favor; the Ducks are 5-0 straight-up at Arizona State in the past five meetings.
