#5 Oregon vs #3 Washington PAC-12 Championship Betting Odds and Trends

Which 4 teams are going to be heading into the college football playoffs to battle it out for the National Championship? MyBookie Sportsbook Regular Season Football Betting Preview | PAC-12 Championship Odds #5 Oregon Ducks vs #3 Washington Huskies

While we all have an opinion, none of us will get the answer until the final whistle blows in the last Conference Championship Game of the weekend. Even then, we might need to sweat it out and wait for the Playoff Committee to have the final say, depending on how the results go. It’s really quite simple in that if the current top 4 teams win their respective conferences, that final 4 will be set, but just a single loss by one of those teams could upset the apple cart in a big way. The first of the big games is set for Friday night, with Oregon and Washington set to deliver a rematch as they duke it out for what could well be the final PAC-12 Championship. The Ducks are currently sitting as a 10-point favorite, with the O/U for this one set at 66.

Oregon Ducks

In any other sport, a 1-loss season is something to celebrate, but in college football, it can be the difference between making the playoffs and going to a bowl game. That is where the Oregon Ducks are at right now, as they already have that lone loss this season, with that defeat coming at the hands of the team they will be facing in the PAC-12 Conference Championship Game. If they can exact revenge on Friday night, they will definitely be in the playoff conversation, but their making it to the top 4 might well depend on how the other big games play put. They are hot right now, though, winning 6 in a row after losing to the Huskies, with the defense finally matching what the offense has been delivering, although that D is going to need to be at its best to win here.

Washington Huskies

It took a minute for the Playoff Committee to get on board with what the Washington Huskies have done this season, but they are now in the final four after being made to wait for a couple of weeks. I think the win over Oregon now looks a whole lot better than it did at the time, especially when you consider how good the Ducks have looked during that stretch of games. Whatever the reason for the Huskies being in the top 4 is, their challenge is simple, which is to once again beat the Ducks. If they can do that, they are guaranteed a trip to the playoff semi-finals. While they do have that win over Oregon under their belt, we all know how tough it is to beat the same team twice in a single season.

Oregon Ducks Vs Washington Huskies: Team Stats & Betting Trends

As the calendar gets set to flip over into the month of December, bowl season is almost upon us. Before we get there, we have the business of the Conference Championship Games to attend to, the outcomes of which will dictate which 4 teams make it into the postseason. This will be the final season watching college football the way we know it now, with the playoffs set to expand to 12 teams for the 2024 season and beyond. Furthermore, there are going to be big changes to all the Power 5 conferences, with the PAC-12 taking the biggest hit. Just 2 teams will remain after this season, which could well mean that the Friday night Conference Championship Game could be the final one we see in the PAC-12. If Oregon and Washington can deliver a game as good as their earlier meeting this season, then the conference will go out with a bang. The Ducks are currently sitting as a 10-point favorite, with the O/U for this one set at 66.

Oregon Ducks Stats and Trends

Oregon could easily have folded after losing to the Huskies earlier in the season, but that loss seemed to light a fire under them, as they have been red hot over the last couple of months, which we will get to in a moment. The Ducks offense is outstanding, leading the nation in passing yards per game (351 YPG) and sitting 2nd in PPG at 45. The defense is better than expected, especially in the second half, giving up just shy of 16 PPG.

Since losing to the Huskies earlier in the season, the Ducks have cranked things up, winning 6 in a row. It has to be said that their 36-33 loss to Washington was something of a surprise when you consider that Oregon has won 15 of the last 19 meetings. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 overall, as well as 14-3-2 ATS in their last 19 versus the Huskies. While Oregon scores a lot, the UNDER has hit in 4 of their last 5 games played on a Friday night.

Washington Huskies Stats and Trends

There was a time this season when it looked as though the Huskies were not going to crack the top 4, but the Playoff Committee final relented and put them in. Washington is right there with the Ducks in the passing game, averaging 345 YPG through the air, which has them sitting 2nd behind the Ducks. They have scored 38 PPG and surrendered 23 PPG, both of which are stats that are a little worse than what Oregon is bringing to the table, but we do have to say that it’s close.

They are now on a run that has seen them win 15 in a row versus teams from the PAC-12 conference, which includes a win over the Ducks this season. Covering has been an issue of late for the Huskies, as they are just 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games overall, while also going just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. The UNDER has hit in 7 of their last 9 when starting as the underdog.

College Football Score Prediction

The previous meeting between these two teams was an absolute classic, so we can only hope for more of the same on Friday night. I don’t think this one will be as close, though, and I like the Ducks to get their revenge, although I am taking the Huskies to cover the spread.

Oregon Ducks 42, Washington Huskies 33
