Chris “The Bear” Fallica has revealed his best bet for a loaded Week 5 slate of college football games.

The FOX Sports personality is known for giving betting tips on his Bears Bets Podcast with former NFL player Geoff Schwartz.

For Week 5, Fallica is going out west for his favorite pick. The No. 8 Oregon Ducks are taking on the UCLA Bruins at the Rose Bowl, and Fallica sees a high-scoring game.

The veteran analyst is taking the Oregon team total over 39.5 against UCLA.

“They (Oregon) played their best half of football the last time they took the field, in the Civil War against Oregon State,” Fallica explained. “I would expect the Ducks to put 40 on the board.”

The Ducks have scored 40+ only once so far in 2024. In the team’s last game, as Fallica mentioned, the Ducks scored 49 against Oregon State. 27 of those points were in the 2nd half, suggesting the Ducks may have finally figured something out with their offense.

UCLA has the No. 102 scoring defense in the country through Week 4, allowing 29.7 points per game. Oregon, meanwhile, has the No. 31 scoring offense, averaging 36.7 points per game.

The Ducks are looking to stay perfect on the season, while the Bruins are looking to salvage theirs. The 2 B1G teams will kick off from the Rose Bowl on Saturday at 11 p.m. ET.
