Bo Nix QB vs Michael Penix Jr. QB
Bo Nix of the Oregon Ducks has been simply outstanding this year. His stats speak volumes: 3906 passing yards, an astonishing 86% completion rate and 37 touchdowns against only two interceptions is testament to his brilliance. Nix’s greatest strength lies in his accuracy and mobility – his decision-making under pressure and ability to make big plays have been essential components to Oregon’s success.
Michael Penix Jr. of the Huskies has made up ground in both passing yards (3899) and completion percentage (65.6%) despite lagging slightly in these categories, as evidenced by 32 touchdowns scored so far and deep throws (92 yards as his longest). Penix’s main challenge has been handling high-pressure situations consistently, something which will be essential in this matchup.
NCAAF Odds/Point Spread: Oregon Ducks -385, Total Odds: 66.5
With Oregon entering as 10-point favorites, the betting market is showing respect for the Ducks despite Washington’s unblemished record.

This game also has the week’s highest over/under at 66.5 points.
Oregon Ducks Betting Trends
The Ducks have covered in 4 of their last 5 overall, displaying strong results against the spread. Oregon is 15-5 straight up in its last 20 meetings with Washington, signaling historical dominance in this rivalry matchup. The Ducks are also getting it done within the conference, going 5-0 SU against Pac-12 North foes. With an ability to hammer lesser competition and handle pace well, Oregon checks several boxes from a betting perspective among its positive trends. Backing Oregon ATS looks wise.
Washington Huskies Betting Trends
While Washington hasn’t fared quite as well ATS (2-4 in its last 6), the Huskies have been flawless from an SU standpoint by reeling off 12 consecutive wins to a perfect regular season. Washington is also succeeding within the Pac-12 at 15-0 SU in its last 15 conference games, displaying complete command against West Coast foes. The Huskies have gone over the total in 2 of their last 3 road games as well behind a dynamic offense. Still, this is their biggest test to date.
Oregon Ducks vs. Washington Huskies 12/1/23 Betting Picks
When analyzing this Pac-12 showdown from a betting perspective, Oregon appears to be the stronger play. The Ducks have faced stiffer competition this season and have recent dominance over Washington historically, going 15-4 SU in the last 19 head-to-head meetings. Oregon is also getting it done against the number (4-1 ATS last 5). With the Ducks favored by 10 points, we recommend taking Oregon and giving the points as our premium game day pick.
While Washington enters undefeated behind a stellar offense, they could struggle to match points with Oregon’s elite attack led by Bo Nix. The 61 combined touchdowns between Nix and lead rusher Bucky Irving give Oregon firepower that Washington hasn’t seen yet. Bettors backing Oregon -10 should feel good heading into Friday night based on these key factors.
