We’ll admit that when we saw the opening line on this game, we were somewhat perplexed. Oregon giving 9 points to an undefeated Washington team on a neutral fi eld? Yes, we realize Joe Public loves the Ducks right now and many already have them penciled in for a trip to the CFP Championship game after QB Bo Nix wins the Heisman. We’ll agree that head coach Dan Lanning does fi eld an outstanding team, as the webfeet are one of only 4 FBS squads to outgain every opponent they faced this season. They also like to pour it on opponents early, outscoring them 327-104 in the fi rst half of games this season. That may not work here, especially since Oregon trailed the Huskies 22-18 at the half in their 36-33 loss at UDub earlier this year. Something else that may not work: the Ducks are tangled up inside the SMART BOX this week and that’s not where they want to be. Ironically, the Huskies are the fi rst – and only – undefeated team to land a berth in the Pac-12 championship game. While QB Michael Penix Jr. gets the lion’s share of
media attention, we’d like to heap some praise on second- year Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer. Not only is he 23-2
SU since taking the job in Seattle, DeBoer is 15-1 SU with the Huskies when they own a better record than their opponent, including 13-0 the last 13 games. He also fi ts right into tonight’s role, going 6-1 ATS in his career as an underdog, including 3-0 SUATS as a dog with UDub. The Ducks may have cashed more tickets in this series of late, going 14-4-1 ATS, but they’re just 3-8 SU with revenge when Washington sports a .875 or greater win percentage. You know what to do. by Playbook

PAC 12 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME @ Las Vegas, Nevada Oregon 48 - Washington 23 - (8:00) -- Revenge is the name of the game in this one, as the unbeaten & #3 Huskies took the 'Ducks, by a scant 36-33 in Oct, despite a 541-415 yd deficit. OU hasn't sniffed a loss since, with a 252-96 pt edge, covering their L RG by 35 pts. QB Nix (37/2, 79%) is the odds-on Heisman choice at the moment, with a direct resemblance to Joe Burrow. Huskies counter with Penix (#5 total "O"): 32/8 & 3,899 yds. "D" edge is all OU (#2 "O", #15 "D"), as compared to UW (#12 "O", #100 "D"). Revenge tastes twice as sweet here. by Pointwise
