Why Oregon Will Cover The Spread
The Ducks have an explosive offense that can score at any moment. Therefore, it is very challenging to prevent them from scoring. It all starts with the quarterback and his ability to get the ball out.
Nix has passed for 1,459 yards with 15 touchdowns and one interception while also rushing 19 times for 87 yards and a score. Meanwhile, Irving has rushed 50 times for 393 yards and four touchdowns while catching 18 passes for 137 yards. James has rushed 34 times for 297 yards and seven scores.
Franklin has caught 32 passes for 535 yards and seven touchdowns. Meanwhile, Gary Bryant Jr. has 18 receptions for 227 yards and two touchdowns. Tez Johnson has 15 receptions for 203 yards and three touchdowns. Also, Holden has caught 17 passes for 187 yards. Fergeson now has 15 catches for 129 yards and a touchdown.
The defense has not been perfect. Yet, they still have good playmakers who can make noise. Jordan Burch has six solo tackles and three sacks. Also, Evan Williams has notched 12 solo tackles and 2.5 sacks.
Oregon will cover the spread if their offense can put points up in bursts. Then, their defense must stop a dangerous offense that is just as capable of scoring as they are.
Why Washington Will Cover The Spread
The Huskies have emerged this season while launching themselves into the conversation as one of the best teams in college football. Now, they will try and take down the Ducks, who are their most challenging test yet.
Penix has passed for 1,999 yards with 16 touchdowns and two interceptions. Meanwhile, Dillon Johnson has rushed 41 times for 240 yards and four scores. Rome Odunze has caught 32 passes for 608 yards and four scores to pace the offense. Also, Ja'Lynn Polk has 26 receptions for 468 yards and four touchdowns.
The defense has had mixed results. Moreover, they held firm against the Wildcats while nearly collapsing. Zion Tupuola-Fetui has five solo tackles and two sacks. Meanwhile, Dominique Hampton has 21 solo tackles and one sack. Edefuan Ulofoshio has tacked 19 solo tackles with one sack and one interception. Therefore, this defense is more than capable of shutting down a high-powered offense. But how will they do against the Huskies in a hostile environment?
Washington will cover the spread if they can move the chains and keep the ball out of Oregon's hands. Then, they must stop all the dangerous weapons the Ducks possess and not allow them to blast past them.
Final Oregon-Washington Prediction & Pick
This will be the best battle of the weekend. Yes, Oregon has a really great football team. But they lost this showdown at home last season, and the Huskies are even better this time around. Therefore, look for the Huskies to come out with high energy and emerge with a victory here on Saturday.
Final Oregon-Washington Prediction & Pick: Washington: -3 (-120)
