Accordingly, the Pac-12 championship game between the Oregon Ducks and Washington Huskies could be the best of the weekend. On October 14, the teams met at Washington, with the Huskies winning a squeaker 36-33. Oregon lost in part because of some reckless 4th down gambles that failed. The Ducks have been pining for a College Football Betting rematch ever since. Since then, the winner of Friday’s game is likely bound for the College Football Playoff. Depending on what happens elsewhere, the loser could also still qualify, too.

Heisman Trophy candidate Bo Nix completed 33 of 40 passes for 367 yards with a pair of touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown. Of course, the game could mark the Ducks’ final rivalry matchup against the Beavers. And it gives them a spot in the last Pac-12 Championship game. Oregon won its sixth straight game and finished 8-1 in the Pac-12. In turn, Oregon State managed just 273 yards of total offense. Including 53 on the ground after what had been a successful rushing attack all season.
Washington Huskies Team Overview
Last game, the Washington Huskies won 24-21 against the Washington State Cougars as 16-point home favorites. The game went under the total of 67. Washington has a record of 12-0 straight up, 5-6-1 against the spread, and 6-6 over/under the total. Washington ranks 12th for total offense, 2nd for passing, 105th for rushing, and 11th for scoring.

In sum, Rome Odunze caught seven passes for 120 yards with two touchdowns. And his 23-yard run on fourth down on the final possession helped set up Grady Gross’ game-winning field goal. The Huskies came into the 115th edition of the Apple Cup having already clinched a berth in Friday’s Pac-12 Championship Game. Yet they sought to maintain their inside track on reaching the College Football Playoff.
Facing fourth-and-one at its own 29-yard line with 1:14 left, Washington went for it. However, UW appeared to be stuffed when running back Dillon Johnson ran into the line. But Johnson sold a fake as the wide receiver Odunze went end-around for the long gain. A roughing-the-passer penalty on Ron Stone Jr. — one of three pivotal flags in the fourth quarter — moved Washington further into Washington State territory. Subsequently, Gross hit from 42 yards out, nearly the same distance as the 43-yarder he missed earlier in the game.
