Oregon vs Washington Prediction
The current betting odds have Washington listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Washington has one of the best offenses in the country this year and they enter this game with a 5-0 record overall and a 2-0 conference record. Oregon is coming in with the same records but they are on the road for this game. Oregon has been a really physical team all season and they have the offense to compete with Washington here but Washington does have a really good defense at home and Oregon hasn't really seen an offense like this all season. Washington has the advantage of being at home here along with getting the win by 3 points in Oregon last year. Oregon will be coming for revenge in this game and these are easily 2 of the best teams in the Pac-12 this season but Oregon just doesn't have the talent on offense to make the big explosive plays like Washington does and that will be what gives Washington the edge at home here. The best way to place a bet here is on Washington to cover the spread in this game.
Oregon Washington Prediction: Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, October 14, 2023 (3:30 pm ET start time) is Washington 38 Oregon 31.

Notable Quotes
“We started off a little slow, but we kicked it into gear. I thought our guys responded. We just had to get through that lull to start." - Dan Lanning after his team’s win against Stanford in their last game.
“They were playing it safe and making us earn it, so naturally we hit the checkdowns. We know that's our style (big plays), but it's not always going to work out that way.” - Kalen DeBoer after his team’s win against Arizona in their last game.
