What cashed

ALT: Oregon over 15.5 points (-174 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: Oregon cleared 15.5 in 8 of its last 10 and 6 of 8 this season. - What happened: It looked shaky down 14-0, but Oregon scored 17 in the second quarter, with Jamari Johnson's 2-yard run at the horn putting the Ducks at 17 and over the line. They finished with 41, 25.5 over. - Worth watching: An early deficit is the main risk on a team-total alt, and this one was already over the line by halftime. The low number did its job.

ALT: Dakorien Moore 40+ receiving yards (-235 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: Moore cleared 40+ receiving yards in 9 of his last 10 and 13 of his last 16. Best price -235 (70% implied) vs about 81% from recent games. - What happened: Moore led Oregon with 7 catches for 56 yards, 16.5 over the line, and scored on an 11-yard pass from Dylan Raiola in the third quarter. His longest catch was 16 yards, so he got there on volume. - Worth watching: Seven catches with none longer than 16 yards points to steady usage, which is what keeps a yardage floor alive. That is the profile we want on this kind of alt.

ALT: Evan Stewart 4+ receptions (-188 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: Stewart had 4+ catches in 5 of 6 games since returning (4 of his last 5). The main line was 4.5, and the 4+ rung was -188. - What happened: Stewart caught exactly 4 passes for 47 yards, with a long of 19. It cleared by half a point. - Worth watching: This is why we took the 4+ rung instead of the main 4.5: the extra half catch was the whole margin. His catch count since returning is the number to keep checking.
