Montana State Bobcats vs Oregon Ducks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 08/30/25

This is an academic play in every sense of the word. Oregon is a team with national championship aspirations while the Bobcats, they play a level down in the FCS. Prejudice always rests against the subdivision foe that is nothing more than a tune-up match for a power like the Ducks to get ready. With that comes inflated point spreads and it is essential to stay clear of laying big numbers in most occasions.

The Ducks have a road trip to Stillwater on the horizon in Week Two, and as we know from the past, the Cowboys are a threat in their own backyard. This game is nothing more than a scrimmage for the Ducks and as soon as this game is under control, we can expect Dan Lanning to turn this over to his bench. Moreover, let’s not forget another item – backdoor potential. Even if Oregon leads by 40 and they elect to call off the dogs, the Bobcats may leave their starters in to gather meaningful minutes. What this can turn into is a couple of junk-time scores and even under that situation, State covers. Grabbing the points is the move here.
