Oregon vs Washington Betting Prediction
Oregon comes into this game on a three game winning streak and they are 2-0 to start conference play, but they will be on the road for this game. The Ducks defeated UCLA and USC in their first two PAC-12 games and they are only allowing 70.2 points against per game on defense. Washington has lost their first two conference games, but they are scoring 82.5 points per game this season. The Huskies have played inconsistently so far this season, as they were able to beat Gonzaga, but barely beat Seattle in the next game. I think this game could go either way, so I will gladly take the points with Oregon here.
