No. 4 Oregon vs. Washington picks and best bets for Week 10

We head to the Pacific Northwest for a classic Pac-12 North rivalry on Saturday evening as the No. 4 Oregon Ducks head up to Seattle to meet the Washington Huskies. The game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.

If the season ended right now, Oregon (7-1, 4-1 Pac-12) would be one of the fortunate four teams actually competing for a national championship as they were slotted at No. 4 in the first College Football Playoff rankings this week. The Ducks looked like a well-oiled machine last Saturday when crushing Colorado for a 52-29 victory in Eugene. They amounted over 550 yards of total offense on 7.9 yards per play and were led by quarterback Anthony Brown, who had a solid afternoon throwing for 307 yards and three touchdowns.

Washington (4-4, 3-2 Pac-12) is riding a two-game winning streak and did just enough to slip by Stanford with a 20-13 victory last Saturday. Defensively, the Huskies limited the Cardinal to just 4.5 yards per play and both Brendan Radley-Hiles and Jackson Sirmon got respective interceptions off Stanford QB Tanner McKee.

Here’s all the data you’ll want, and a pick for the game!

The Pick

Oregon -7

Hammering the Ducks here on principle just based on Washington head coach Jimmy Lake trash talking the Ducks as recruiting rivals and “academic prowess” this week. Lake has already suggested that the comments were taken out of context but the damage has already been done. This is already a heated rivalry and I’m sure Mario Cristobal and crew will take extra delight in pasting their border rivals to the north. Oregon rolls here.
