Oregon vs. Washington Prediction and Odds (Ducks Get Victory in Must Win Pac 12 Game)

Oregon is in desperation mode as their NCAA Tournament hopes hang in the balance with each passing night.

The Ducks can't afford another loss to a lowly opponent and must take care of Washington on the road as the team gets ready for the Pac 12 Tournament next week, with positive results necessary to make the field of 68.

Here are the odds for the Pac 12 matchup between the Ducks and Huskies from WynnBET Sportsbook:

Oregon vs. Washington Prediction and Pick

I'm in lock step with this side and total so I don't see a ton of betting value there, but I do believe that Oregon is the side that gets it done here, even if it doesn't cashes against the spread.

Both of these teams are very up and down, but the Ducks have the size inside to disrupt the Washington defense. Oregon is fantastic down low, posting the second best two-point offense in Pac 12 play while finishing 66th in the country around the rim. Further, the Huskies are weak on the defensive glass, a strong suit for the likes of N'Faly Dante, and Quincy Guerrier.

Washington has been frisky this season, compiling a 9-9 record this season and took UCLA to overtime earlier this week, but I expect the Huskies offensive deficiencies to hold them back from grabbing a win. Washington is outside the top 300 in effective field goal percentage and have a bottom 20 assist rate, which will be exposed against the Ducks zone defense.
