A win for Oregon would be its first in the playoff since its expansion to 12 teams. It would also help remove the bitter taste left over from last postseason when the Ducks squandered their No. 1 seed and dropped out of the CFP in the quarterfinals.

In Week 15, there were four games with double-digit spreads, and 44-year-old Philip Rivers helped lead his team to the only cover among those underdogs.

In fact, half the games this week are between two teams, both in or still alive in the playoff race.
