Oregon is coming into this game as an 11.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oregon has been playing very well recently winning 5 straight games and they are starting to look like the team they were supposed to be before the season started. They are coming off of an impressive win against USC on the road in their last game and they should continue to play well in this game. Washington has also been heating up in recent games but they have had some trouble on the road this season and they will likely struggle here against an Oregon team that has been a lot better recently. The best bet to place in this game is on Oregon to cover the spread here.

"Obviously you want to keep momentum, that's always a good thing. I think the biggest thing for us is, how do we keep getting better? After watching the film, there's so many different areas we can improve and keep getting better, and that's what we're focused on. These kids have done a really good job of really getting to know our defenses better, our offensive sets. And there's still a little bit of slippage, as much as we played really well in a lot of spurts, there's a lot of room for growth. And that's what we're really focused on. We believe that if we can do that then we'll keep getting chances to win every game that we play." - Mike Hopkins on keeping their momentum going coming into this game.

 

 

“He’s had experience with those guys (Payton Pritchard, Eugene Omoruyi, Chris Duarte) and he knows how important that is. So I think he finally got a little frustrated with the way things were going and has really done a good job just talking in the huddles, reinforcing what the coaches have to say. It just brings everyone together.” - Dana Altman on Will Richardson.
