Pac-12 Title Game: (5) Oregon Ducks vs (3) Washington Huskies
Betting Public Not Afraid of Big Number
We are just a few days from the Pac-12 Title Game in Las Vegas and although we’ve already done a story on our official stance on the game, we thought it would be fun to go through current and historical betting trends for each team. Oregon (11-1) is a surprising 10-point favorite over the undefeated Washington Huskies (12-0), after opening -8.5. The total (65.5) has been cut a couple of points after opening at 67.5. Kick-off is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT from the home of the Las Vegas Raiders, Allegiant Stadium. We’ll start our Oregon vs Washington odds preview with a look at the Oregon Ducks from a betting perspective.
Oregon Has Been A Friend To Bettors
The Oregon Ducks have not lost back-to-back games against the spread this season, making them one of the most reliable wagers in College Football. Only New Mexico State (10-2 ATS), UNLV (9-2 ATS), and Arizona (9-2 ATS) have been better. This is the second season in a row where the Ducks have produced a profit for bettors (15-6-1 ATS). Only Troy (17-6 ATS) and Penn State (16-6-1 ATS) were better in that span.
That is where the confidence is coming from as this number continues to rise. We see 72% of the money coming in on Oregon, which is good news for the Ducks after covering two of three games this season when receiving more than 70% of the money wagered and four of five over the last two seasons. 55% of the overall tickets are on the Ducks as well, meaning the ‘pros’ and ‘joes’ agree on Oregon.
When the Ducks are getting more than 51% of the tickets wagered, they own a 5-2-1 ATS record in 2023. If Oregon is circled on your College Football scores and odds sheet, the numbers say you’ve bet on the right team. We continue our Oregon vs Washington odds preview by turning our attention to the Huskies.
The Public Waits For Husky Implosion
Despite being undefeated, the Washington Huskies have been on the side of the bookmakers all year with a 5-6-1 ATS record. They’ve failed to cover six of their last eight games, which is why they’re getting very little respect from the oddsmakers. Washington has not had the confidence from bettors since 2017. Since that time the Huskies are just 26-36-1 ATS, including 21-29-1 ATS when favored.
As a road underdog, Washington has dropped 12 of their last 19, but 1-0 on a neutral field. Washington is receiving 29% of the public money, a spot where they have had success. This season when the Huskies were getting less than 50% of the money wagered they were 3-1 ATS, but just 12-15 ATS with that filter since 2018. In 2023, the Huskies are 2-1 ATS when less than 30% of the money is on Washington, but just 3-5 ATS since 2021.
Total History Shows Betting Trend
We’ll look back at the NCAA Football scores on Monday and realize that this game gave us a better show than many believe it will. The total hasn’t moved as much as the spread but there was a small dip to a consensus 66 after opening as high as 67.5. The under is 7-4-1 involving the Ducks and 6-6 in Washington games. Since 2017, the under is 34-42-1 in games involving Oregon and 42-33 with Washington. That does it for our Oregon vs Washington odds update, we wish you all the best with your NCAAF Free picks and parlays .
