KJ Simpson (Guard) vs. Jermaine Couisnard (Guard)
KJ Simpson has become an invaluable member of the Colorado Buffaloes this season, making significant contributions all across the field. Simpson averages 19.9 points per game while playing 34.1 minutes per game and boasts exceptional 46.2% three-point shooting and 49.6% field goal shooting accuracy. Furthermore, his averages 5.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.8 steals demonstrate his flexibility on both ends of the court; yet with his 2.2 turnover rate per game it shows room for improvement.
Jermaine Couisnard is a key member of the Oregon Ducks, averaging 15.5 points per game with a 41.1% field goal efficiency. Even while Couisnard’s shooting percentages may not be as high as Simpson’s, his versatility—which includes his ability to rebound and create plays—makes him an invaluable asset to the Ducks. His defensive prowess is demonstrated by his defensive efforts, which include 1.7 steals per game.
The dynamics of the game will surely be impacted by the opposing styles and strengths of these two important players when they face off on the court. Couisnard’s ability to disrupt plays and contribute in a variety of ways might put Simpson’s versatility to the test, while Simpson’s scoring power and efficiency from the field could test Couisnard’s defensive abilities.

Colorado Buffaloes Betting Trends
The Buffaloes have demonstrated their ability to stay in form with a respectable 4-1 record over their previous 5 games. Despite this, their ATS record indicates that they can have trouble covering the spread in away games, particularly when playing on the road. The team’s road ATS record and their inclination for high-scoring games—which is demonstrated by the totals going OVER in three of their last five games—should be taken into account by bettors.
Oregon Ducks Betting Trends
With a 3-2 record over their previous five games, the Ducks have demonstrated tenacity. Their 1-4 record during that same time frame against the spread, though, raises doubts about their capacity to cover. Their totals have fluctuated, just like the Buffaloes’, with the OVER striking in 2 of the last 5 games. Bettors looking to capitalize on trends should examine the Ducks’ home and recent ATS performance closely.
Colorado Buffaloes vs. Oregon Ducks 3/7/24 Betting Picks
Based on statistical analysis and betting trends for both teams, this match should be closely contested. Key performances by KJ Simpson and Jermaine Couisnard could have an enormous effect on its outcome; moreover, overall team performance trends suggest this matchup may feature high scoring action with both sides showing signs of offensive flair.
Due to the Buffaloes’ strong offensive statistics but less convincing against-the-spread record on the road, and Oregon Ducks’ solid home performance, this game may incline slightly in favor of Oregon. When betting odds and point spreads become available they should provide bettors with a more accurate picture; prop bets, over/under bets and other betting options should be monitored closely as are changes in team dynamics or injuries leading up to game day; those interested in placing bets should consult top sportsbooks for latest odds/lines available when placing bets on any event(s).
