    The line on this game is all over the place. Opened with WSU -1, went to Oregon -1.5, and now back to WSU -2.5. O/U is at 66.5.

    I like my @LeachNeedsMoreTim in this one.

    Cuogs got all the intangibles in this one, similar to how Oregon had them last week. However, I just know the one time we need to rely on the Cuogs to help us out they're gonna Cuog it. I'm taking the Quacks in this one and will hope for the Utes to take them down next month.

    I've picked Oregon to beat WSU each of the last three years, so Oregon is pretty much guaranteed to win this one now.

    What level of hell are we in where we have to rely on either fucking WSU and Utah to win an important game?

    The more I think about this gayme the more I lean Oregon. The fact that we?ve poached a couple of their coaches helps... also, our D has evolved to be more of a rush-QB-pressure defense. WSU struggles with larger lines and good pass rushers more than others due to their scheme.

    However, our secondary is, well, not so good.

    Also, we're not playing after dark on the Palouse. Thank god.

    Graham is your weakness in the secondary. The others have been making plays.

    The issue I've seen with Oregon is that Mitchell is a habit for Herbert. He needs to get the ball around. And your TEs are dropping passes, which isn't going to give Herbert confidence to go to them. Oregon is short on targets in the passing game.

    If Oregon can't run the ball effectively on my Kewgs for four quarters, they will lose, because Coug! is gonna score.

    I think the Oregon secondary is too young. I'm leaning towards the cougs by a touchdown, but that may change as the game draws near.

    Depending on the coogs to win a game that most everyone thinks they are going to win is s dicey proposition

    All the hot takes are true, bye week etc. but the ducks are all business and Leavitt is kicking ass to keep them focused and Lombardi Award Coach of the Year Marconi Cristobal just doesn't lose to WSU

    He just doesn't
