Huskies down Beavers

College Basketball Betting Trends

Oregon

The Ducks are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 road games. Oregon is 7-2 ATS in its last nine Saturday games.

Washington

The Huskies are 0-4 ATS in their last four games as an underdog. Washington is 0-4 ATS in its last four Saturday games.

Prediction:

If Oregon can lose at Washington State, it feels ripe for the taking at a Huskies squad that can lean on their defense to make any opponent feel uncomfortable. Washington has lost twice at home, but one was to top-ranked Gonzaga and the other was by a slim 66-64 margin versus UCLA. I see fading the Ducks two days after their loss to a subpar Washington State squad as the smart way to go in this spot.
