Oregon Gains Momentum in 2026 Big Ten Betting Odds

As the 2026 college football season approaches, Oregon is gaining traction among bettors after joining the Big Ten in 2024. Previously a strong contender in the Pac-12, the Ducks are now leading in betting for the upcoming season.

According to Joey Feazel, head of football trading at Caesars Sports, Oregon has seen a notable increase in betting interest, positioning them closely behind Ohio State and Indiana in the odds. Ohio State is favored at +175, with Indiana at +240 and Oregon at +260.

Feazel noted that while Ohio State remains dominant, Oregon's rise in popularity reflects a shift in bettor confidence. Indiana, the defending Big Ten and national champion, is also expected to perform well, although they trail behind Oregon and Ohio State in ticket sales. The Big Ten is characterized as top-heavy, with Feazel predicting that one of the top five teams will likely win the championship.
