Oregon and Those “Close” Games?
Oregon was once a team that could be trusted to cover spreads reliably – but it has been quite a struggle in 2021. There’s a multitude of problems plaguing Mario Cristobal’s squad this season, including the offensive line, off the field suspensions, and poor situational play late in games
Even with a decent offense, Oregon likely will have difficulty against Washington on Saturday. Part of that reasoning could be somewhat rectified.

The offensive line has caused Anthony Brown some issues but he does have 17 touchdowns on the season and just seven turnovers. It just seems like Brown could have a few more touchdowns through the air, but he does make some mistakes that a quarterback of his caliber should not.
In scoring offense, Oregon is #23 overall. They are scoring only 36.3 points per game. They are not the top five or ten offense they used to be. Their defense is only ranked #50 and has struggled at times.
Washington Has Issues Too
Will Washington be able to keep up scoring-wise with Oregon? The theory is that they could depending on how bad the weather actually is. The Huskies do average 22.8 points per game on the season. They allow just a mere 18.9 points per contest at least.
The Huskies allow 178.6 yards rushing per contest on defense. Their passing defense is excellent as that yields just under 150 yards per game. A good chunk of those yards has been gained from mobile quarterbacks and power runners.
Expecting absolute domination of the Washington Huskies on Saturday. Stack the box and make Dylan Morris throw all game. Give Dye 20+ carry’s against a horrible rush defense. Oregon might outmatch UW in every single category on the field.

Like we mentioned above, no one passes on Washington, they run and nearly 40 times a game as well. The problem for both teams could be handling a wet football.
Oregon vs Washington Betting Trends and Pick
As we mentioned previously, Oregon and Washington play most of these games very close. The last three Oregon wins were all by six points or less. However, the Washington wins were blowouts.
Against the spread has been a scary prospect at times for Oregon. They are just 2-6 ATS on the season and one of those was the win at Ohio State. The more frightening thing is Washington is also 2-6 ATS in 2021. Talk about a heck of a dilemma on Saturday night.
- Add this one stat in. Oregon is 0 for their last 8 covering as a favorite.
The Ducks do not have the coaching issues that Washington has but the argument is that their issues are significant.
Oregon and Washington tend to lean toward the over. The teams have combined for 57 or more points in six of the last eight meetings. The Huskies should cover late as the chilly, sloppy weather should play somewhat of a role
- Pick: Washington +7 (-110)
