Oregon football vs. Washington picks, odds: What national media are saying

The No. 1 Oregon football team will once again be a double-digit favorite at home Saturday before its matchup against Washington at Autzen Stadium.

The Ducks (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) are looking to remain the only unbeaten team in college football while the Huskies (6-5, 4-4 Big Ten) will look to spoil the home team’s senior day.

Saturday’s 4:30 p.m. game will air on NBC.

At BetMGM, as of Wednesday, the Ducks are a 18.5-point favorite. Oregon is -1,000 on the moneyline while Washington is +650. The over/under (point total) is set at 50.5.

The matchup predictor provided by ESPN Analytics has Oregon with an 89% chance to beat Washington.

Projection: Ducks win by 18.3 points

“Oregon is just a way better team, really complete team, we saw them struggle against Wisconsin … but back’s against the wall, they got it done. That’s what a lot of teams have not done this season, they’ve lost those games. I’m not worried about it, I think Oregon will cover.”

Pick: Oregon to cover -19.5 (spread at time of recording)

“Oregon’s main objective here is to win and remain healthy ahead of its date with Ohio State for the Big Ten Championship. Beating Washington by 20-30 points or running up the score in the fourth quarter likely isn’t on the mind of this team or coaching staff.”

Pick: Oregon’s team total under 36.5

Pick: Oregon wins

“This game means a lot. Washington beat them twice last year, it doesn’t matter if none of those players are there anymore, that helmet looks the same. Washington’s 0-4 on the road this year and three of those losses have come by 14-plus. Oregon is coming off a bye, the indicators are all pointing down for Washington.”
