The Ducks are 1-5 ATS in their last six overall and 0-4 ATS in their last four on turf. Oregon is also 1-4 ATS in their last five conference games.
Meanwhile, the Huskies are 2-5 ATS versus a team with a winning record and 1-5 ATS in their last six after an ATS win. Washington is 1-5 ATS in their last six at home as well.
PICK: I’m staying on Oregon. The Ducks put up another impressive performance against an overmatched Colorado team in their last outing. Oregon finished with 568 total yards, 312 pass yards, 7.9 yards per play, 32 first downs and a nice 7-of-10 mark on third-down tries. It was a dominant effort from nearly every angle.
As for the Huskies, they did a solid defensive job against Stanford with 71 rush yards allowed, 17 first downs and three turnovers. It’s going to be much harder to stop the Ducks’ offensive attack however, so I think Oregon is a better fit for the cover.
