Washington State vs. Oregon Prediction
There is a reason why the Oregon Ducks have been a top program in college football, and that is because of their dominance. They are averaging 555.0 total yards per game and holding opposing teams to less than 300 total yards. Oregon still is a College Football Playoff candidate and can't afford to lose another game, so expect them to come out firing on all cylinders here.
Prediction: Oregon -19.5
