The current betting odds have Oregon listed as a 19.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oregon has been having a great season with their 5-1 record overall and their 2-1 conference record. They have looked like one of the best teams in the Pac-12 all year and they have been really good in their home games. They just lost on the road to Washington in their last game who might just be the best team in the country right now but either way Oregon is going to be looking to bounce back in a big way at home. Washington State is 4-2 this season and they were playing really well in their games but they have hit a snag lately with 2 losses in a row and they are now 1-2 in their conference games too. They lost a really close game on the road against UCLA and then got blown out at home by Arizona in their last game so the spirit of this team has to be down after their last 2 losses. Oregon is going to take advantage of that and put up another big win at home to bounce back and get back on track as there is still a path to the Pac-12 Championship for them. The best way to place a bet here is on Oregon to cover the spread in this game.
