Oregon vs Washington

The 2023 Pac-12 Championship Game between the Oregon Ducks and Washington Huskies is set to take place on Friday night, maybe the most anticipated game of college football championship weekend. Kickoff is scheduled from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas at 8 p.m. ET. Both teams will join the Big Ten, and the victor will hoist the final Pac-12 championship banner in its current configuration.

 The winner of Friday's game is virtually guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, according to the current College Football Playoff rankings. With a victory over Oregon, the No. 3-ranked Huskies (12-0, 9-0), who defeated the Ducks 36-33 in Week 7 of the regular season, will maintain or move up in their ranking. On the other hand, should the Ducks (11-1, 8-1) win the rematch, they will almost certainly replace Washington in the top four.

According to SportsLine consensus, the Ducks are 9.5-point favorites, and the total points scored over/under is 65.5. These are the most recent Oregon vs Washington odds.

Oregon's capacity to cover

Michael Penix Jr. of Washington has been leading the Heisman Trophy race for the majority of the season, making it a close competition. Bo Nix, the quarterback for Oregon, is the clear favorite going into the weekend despite Penix having done little to weaken his position. This is due to his incredible run of efficiency. In his early SEC seasons, the Auburn transfer was accused for making rash decisions, but so far this season with the Ducks, the senior has not experienced any such issues. With just two interceptions in 3,906 yards and 37 touchdowns, Nix has completed 78.6% of his attempts.

Furthermore, Nix has become better as the season has gone on. Only twice this season has he recorded double-digit incompletions, and that was during the Week 7 loss to Washington. Over the last four weeks, he has passed for at least 367 yards; his best performance came against USC, where he completed the game with 412 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions for a 36-27 victory.

Additionally, since Week 7, Nix has scored five of his six rushing touchdowns, demonstrating a natural ability to know when to use his legs when the coverage dictates it. He has 47 attempts for 159 yards this season. Choose your team from this list.

Washington's ability to cover 

Washington's success is largely due to its seasoned, experienced core of key players who have developed together over several seasons. This is uncommon in an era where squads are revolving around individuals due to lax transfer regulations and NIL deals.

Penix Jr. was already committed to the program before coach Kalen DeBoer was brought in to take Jimmy Lake's place prior to the 2018 season. However, it was unknown if the Indiana transfer and other notable recruits would stick around, and a lot of college football observers projected that Washington would struggle in its first season of transition. Penix was persuaded to stay by DeBoer, and the quarterback also had a significant impact on the decisions of players like edge rusher Bralen Trice and wide receiver Rome Odunze to remain with the Huskies.

With 19 games remaining, the Huskies currently own the second-longest winning streak in FBS, trailing only Georgia's 29-game run. DeBoer told the reporters this week, "There's so much that I call the bones of the program, the core of who we are, to where we could get to this point." Choose your team from this list.
