Oregon Ducks Surprising Betting Odds vs. Washington Released
Comments

The spread seems about right (leaning to the ou enticement) but the O/U seems high especially is the weather plays a role (6 day out forecast looks decent).
-
The fact that this is significantly smaller than the one before the 2023 Pac-12 Championship Game (the banner hopefully still hangs) is pretty hilarious.

Sounds like Dan is gonna have to break something!

To me it's either going to be:
Ducks cover and win by 10+or
UW wins
I don't see us losing by a TD or less.

Reminds me of my old report card, never did anything special but run my mouth. My parents could count on the Teachers comment that went something like "Enjoyed having your Coach in Conference"
-
It could be due to the game being in Husky Stadium and Oregon arguably having more injury concerns than UW. Oregon's OL and WR corp are pretty banged up while UW should return at least a few starters on O (and maybe even Isiah Ward on D, who knows).
If I'm Lan Danning, I don't worry about style points and use my deep RB stable to run the ball while loading the box to stop the run and make Demond beat me from within the pocket by throwing to a gimpy Boston and true frosh WRs.
So the under is probably the best bet.

I think you're spot on about injuries and Oregon needing to run the damn ball.
-
Fanduel must be going crazy. Do we have odds on a neutral field?

It's kind of the same thing for the Huskies too, depending on who Oregon has healthy at WR. Alex McLaughlin is pretty good and should be able to hold up pretty well against Sadiq in man-to-man coverage. For a LB, ZRS is good in coverage too.
I don't see the Huskies being able to establish the run all that well, even if Coleman is back. Fisch / Daugherty may be able to mix things up some by having both Coleman and Mohammed in the backfield together and manufacture some yards that way. Unfortunately, they may have to pass some to set up the run but they should absolutely not abandon the run. I'm sure Fisch will add in some screens and other semi-run like plays.
I sure hope Boston is ready to go because he is the guy who will either A) punish Oregon for single covering him B) draw pass interference penalties and / or C) force Oregon to roll coverage toward him, which would open things up for DeGraaf and other WRs.
