I still don't get why vegas has the ducks as dogs in this game. I mean I get that so far Oregon has only managed to beat the equivalent of high school level teams and didn't look great in those, but the ducks are seriously going to be desperate to win this game. At 3-3 they HAVE to win this game if they want to reach a bowl. As crazy that it is, it's true. If they lose this game they must win 2 of their next 4 against @ASU, Cal, @Stanford, and USC and still must also beat the beavs.
Given their backs are against the wall then just to make a bowl that just adds another layer to this.
The real reason I'd put the line more like Oregon -6 is the expected weather. Browning is a cali kid that probably has nearly no experience playing in cold and rain and if Adams does play he has tons of experience in all kinds of conditions. No real wind, but it still favors the ducks ground game. Yet vegas has actually crept slightly the other way and is now UW -2 at a couple of sites. Just don't get it.
More of you duck fans need to back up your rhetoric and put your money where your mouths are. Move that line where it belongs.
I saw the line Sunday evening and it was -1 to -1.5 UW at the main 4. I never saw it in favor of Oregon so it had to be a seriously quick turnover that then froze.I believe that the line opened @ Oregon -1.5, and considering that home field advantage is typically 3 points, I would say that Vegas believed Oregon was still the favorite.
Obviously, the bettors do not agree as the line has moved as much as 3.5 points in Washington's favor. I wouldn't touch this game with a 10-foot pole.

Either way, if I was a duckie I'd put my mortgage on this game. At those odds? VA back, rain favoring your ground game, UW probably playing pretty tight with all pressure the alums and fans put on them for this game, backs against the wall and all the refocus that brings?
Naw, you are reading it right, but given their qualification for opening line I'd guess one of the lesser books opened it that way and quickly saw the big boys going the other and shifted fast. The bovada, 5 dimes, and their ilk all came out UW and so did the big casinos from what I saw. Either way it settled down fast and has only slightly shifted half a point or so more to UW since. I wouldn't expect to see a lot of late sharp money on this one. The pros won't touch it, or at least shouldn't. Mostly it's going to be fans driving this bus. Where's the duck money?Yeah, I think it changed almost immediately...either that or i'm reading this wrong:

It's all about the recent history.So, Oregon would need to extend the streak an additional 14 years just to reach .500 in the series?
Wow, no wonder Ducks fans hate the Huskies so much.
@TheDayMan thanks for the love brother...right back at you.![]()
That's the only 'history' the ducks have.It's all about the recent history.
LMAO....I've been a faithful Duck fan since '84.That's the only 'history' the ducks have.
Ask the 4 or 5 fans that predate the early 2k's. They remember what this version of duck football looks like.
