Oregon vs. Washington Score Prediction

The Ducks come into this game in control of their destiny when it comes to playoff and national title hopes. They also still have an outside chance of making it to the Big Ten championship game, where they could defend their title from last season.
Washington is out of the running for both of these but that doesn’t mean they’ll be less motivated to beat the Ducks and avenge the defeat from a season ago.
The Huskies offense has looked elite for most of the season, except against the best teams that they have played. Oregon has one of the better defenses in the Big Ten and that will cause problems for Huskies quarterback Demond Williams Jr. and company.
On the offensive side of the ball, Oregon will rely on the run game to control the ball and take the crowd out of the game. In what will be a relatively competitive game on the road, Oregon wins, but covers.
Oregon 30, Washington 20
