The No. 1 ranked Oregon Ducks finish its regular season off with a senior day matchup versus the Washington Huskies.
Oregon is 11-0 and had another close encounter last week with Wisconsin. The Ducks won 16-13 but needed to win the fourth quarter 10-0 to remain undefeated. Dillon Gabriels’ Heisman campaign ended as he had zero touchdowns and one interception. Oregon’s next game will be against Ohio State for the Big Ten Championship.
Washington is 6-5 and a 31-19 win over UCLA last week solidified a bowl bid. The Huskies are 0-4 on the road this year and haven’t covered a spread away from home, so as +19 point underdogs, the Huskies aren’t expected to compete much. Washington’s only road loss under 14 points came at Rutgers (21-18), but Oregon could be caught in another look-ahead spot, so don’t count Washington out just yet.

Game odds for Washington @ Oregon
The latest odds as of Tuesday morning:
o Moneyline: Oregon (-1000), Washington (+650)
o Spread: Oregon -19
o Total: 50.5 points
*odds courtesy of BetMGM
The look-ahead total for this game was 62.5 in the preseason, so these adjustments speak to Washington’s season in a nutshell but also attributed to the Huskies’ pass defense. Washington has a secondary that can limit Oregon, so despite the total being almost two touchdowns lower than expected, considering the situation and week, the Under should continue to take money.
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) has the following best bets between Oregon and Washington:
“The Oregon Ducks had a letdown game at Wisconsin last week, walking away with a 16-13 victory after trailing entering the fourth quarter. The Oregon defense hasn’t looked itself over the past few weeks.
Despite putting up 16, 39, 38, 38, and 35-point efforts since Ohio State, Oregon has scored 55 second-half points or 11.0 2H PPG. Oregon’s main objective here is to win and remain healthy ahead of its date with Ohio State for the Big Ten Championship. Beating Washington by 20-30 points or running up the score in the fourth quarter likely isn’t on the mind of this team or coaching staff.
I like Oregon’s Team Total Under 36.5 down to 35.5. I don’t see Oregon scoring more than five touchdowns on Washington despite the talent differential. Washington will go for the upset because a win or competitive game here gets them in a better bowl bid.”
