Oregon is No. 6 in the latest College football Playoff rankings, and the Ducks are doing everything they can to rid themselves of the lingering stench from their Week 1 blowout loss to Georgia. Something that would go a long way to getting Dan Lanning’s team into the top four is a big win over No. 25 Washington. 

Oregon has the Huskies this week, but a crucial matchup with No. 13 Utah is on deck. This could be a trap spot for the Ducks, so let’s check out the odds and trends for this one. 

Washington vs. Oregon Odds, Spread and Total

  • Washington is 0-5 ATS in last five
  • Washington is 1-7-1 in last 9 meetings in Oregon

Washington vs. Oregon Prediction and Pick

Washington has the No. 1 passing offense in the nation, thanks to Michael Penix Jr. throws for 370.2 yards per game. That could be a serious problem for Oregon and its 118th ranked passing defense. Washington is going to be able to put up points on the Ducks. For that reason and that reason alone, Oregon could be on upset alert. 

Oregon’s offense is more reliant on the run game. It has the 11th rushing offense in the country, averaging 231.2 yards per game. Washington is 23rd against the run, but allowed 175 yards on the ground in its last game against Oregon State. If the Huskies defense is stout against the Ducks rushing attack, then it will be up to Bo Nix to keep pace with Penix Jr. 

Nix is by far having the best season of his career. He had never completed more than 61% of his passes in a season, but this season he is completing 73.3% and has thrown a career high 22 touchdowns to just five interceptions. I didn’t trust him earlier in the year, but he is a different guy now. I think this is a clear letdown spot for Oregon with Utah on the schedule next week. The over is a good play, but I think Washington getting 13.5. 

Pick: Washington +13.5 (-110)
