Agreed. Tez Johnson out for Oregon clearly hurts their offense while UW's banged up D will really benefit from the bye (Durfee, Bruener, etc). While Demond is electric, Oregon's D is good and UW will probably have trouble converting yardage into TDs.
I like UW +20 here. Oregon has struggled offensively without Tez and Harper on the line. I also think the QB change helps UW at least temporarily, as Oregon won't have as much tape on him. I would also look at the under, and the Oregon defense is legit. This game screams 30-13
Unless there is some crazy bomb cyclone/atmospheric river/arctic blast phenomenon that makes the game a comedy of errors for both teams, I don't see UW hanging too long with Oregon. Not sure the Ducks can cover, because +20 is already on the whiteboards at UW, but the talent and coaching discrepancy is real. As is Oregon's incentive for losing three in a row to the purples.
Huskies will need like a plus-three or better in the turnover category to just make it a game.
The under seems like the good bet. As great as avenging the Browning Point is for Oregon if they get up running out the clock and making sure no one gets hurt and limiting reps for Indy is essential.
UW's offense hasn't been able to score much even in garbage time in their road losses.
There's also the possibility for shitty northwest weather too.
Harper being back helps, but Oregon would be dumb as hell playing Tez or Burch even if it's the last home game. Especially now that Oregon has clinched an appearance in the Conference title game.
I also think UW is going to try and slow the game down. Will they be able to? Wisconsin did have one drive of over 9 minutes, and one drive like that alone is enough to lock the under. I completely agree that the under is the play.
It didn't really hit me until recently that it's a semi almost meaningless game for Oregon in the small picture other than for seeding which I see sentiment that people think the five seed is better than 1 anyways.
I think the four-team playoff made it still a must-win for UW but they definitely had an energy last year in the Apple Cup that it was meaningless game and they may have been more focused on just getting through four quarters with a win and playing Oregon again.
Are they really going to keep the Big Ten championship in Indianapolis? What a treat to spend a weekend in December in Indy! Can they work out something in Vegas or do we have to continue to pretend that this is still just an upper Midwest conference?

Under, UW +20. But I'm a fucking idiot.
how much money would i need to spend to move the line to be "34-17"
1108 days
I don’t bet often but +800 on the moneyline
And I thought Texas and Vegas Ducks paid off handsomely
It’s a rebuilding year. Glad we’re not wasting a home game on this one. Maybe Jabbar tears his ACL?🤷♂️
Respectfully.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

We? cannot win away games anyway +40

Harper will be back. Tez potentially, too, though they should rest him until indy

35-24 sounds about right.

More like DeBoer would've found a way to make a game against Central Washington come down to the wire
So glad he's gone
Baby come back
You can blame it all on...Dannen?
Are we supposed to know who these people are?🤷♂️🤷♂️
