Why Oregon can cover

The Ducks are a perfect 4-0 against the spread in 2023. Senior quarterback Bo Nix is playing the best football of his distinguished college career. The Auburn transfer enters this matchup as one of the top Heisman Trophy contenders in the country with a completion percentage of 80.4% for 1,459 yards, 15 touchdowns and one interception. He has added 87 yards and a TD on the ground.

For as good as Nix has been, Oregon's defense may be playing even better. It enters this matchup ranked sixth in the country in both total defense, allowing 256.6 total yards per game, and points allowed per game (11.8). The Ducks' strengths on the defensive side of the ball give them a decided advantage over Washington in that category. See which team to pick at SportsLine. 

Why Washington can cover

Washington's offense has been almost perfect this season, scoring more than 30 points in all five of its games. The Huskies eclipsed the 40-point mark in four of those outings, including a 59-32 win over California three weeks ago. They are led by Heisman Trophy frontrunner Michael Penix Jr., who has racked up 1,999 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and just two interceptions.

Wide receiver Rome Odunze has 32 receptions for 608 yards and four touchdowns, while wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk has 26 catches for 468 yards and four scores. Wideout Jalen McMillan is expected to return after missing the last two games due to a leg injury that he suffered at Michigan State. Washington has covered the spread in seven of its last nine games, and it is riding an eight-game winning streak against Pac-12 opponents. See which team to back at SportsLine.
