ScoopDuck Roundtable: Score Predictions vs Washington
We’ve reached the midway point of the week, a special Thanksgiving week in fact. Which means it’s time for our score predictions.
You know the routine by now. We all make our predictions but we are glad to hear yours as well. Check out what the guys and myself think of this game as the Ducks look to finish the regular season 12-0.
Max Torres: Oregon 35, Washington 14
Oregon’s defense has been dominant all season and the Ducks shouldn’t have a ton of trouble against the Huskies, as long as the offense shows up and does their part. The Huskies’ offense runs through Jonah Coleman, who just passed 1,000 rushing yards, but quarterback play hasn’t exactly been stellar. Will Rogers hasn’t been great taking care of the ball and Oregon’s defensive front should be able to force some mistakes if they can get pressure on him. I could see Washington get up for this game but the Ducks play their best at home and should be too much for the Huskies.
Collin King: Oregon 38, Washington 14
Ducks close out the regular season with a much needed win against rival Washington at home. I think Oregon certainly could keep its foot on the gas but ultimately prioritize health for the Big Ten Championship game in Indianapolis the following week. It sounds like freshman QB Demond Williams Jr may get more playing time again, or potentially start. We’ll know more later in the week but Oregon will have to prepare for both QBs leading up to this one.

Linden Hile: Oregon 35, Washington 14
I really don’t think this will be close. I think the Ducks will come out with a vengeance against Washington and likely do their part to put up a serious blowout.
However, we have to account for the possibility of a tighter game than expected so I’m not going crazy with my number here. If you told me for a fact that Oregon wins the game, my prediction would be more in the 38-10 range but a hint of caution is usually advisable.
Jhop: Oregon 42, Washington 10
So apparently everyone thinks Oregon will score in the 30’s and Washington will score 14. Those are all good score predictions. There’s no doubt both teams will be emotional for this game. But with Oregon coming off a bye and Washington unsure who they will start at quarterback, I think the Ducks will use that ‘sour taste’ in their mouth to take it to the Huskies and put an emphasis on that 12-0 season. Ducks roll.
