Washington State vs. Oregon Prediction
This will be the final time that these two teams play each other in the Pac-12 and possibly for quite some time.
The Cougars enter play on a two-game losing streak. Washington State soared up the rankings as they entered Week 6, ranked 13th in the nation.
The Cougars would lose to UCLA on the road and follow that up with their worst performance of the season at home in a game that they lost to Arizona 44-6.
Cameron Ward leads this offense. Ward, who is a projected second-round pick in this year's NFL Draft, has thrown for 1,779 yards, 14 touchdowns, and three interceptions. He has rushed for 101 yards and three touchdowns.
Running back Nakita Watson leads the Cougars backfield. Watson has rushed for a team-best 153 yards and three touchdowns.
Kyle Williams has been the favorite target of Ward. He leads the team in receiving yards with 447. While wide receiver Josh Kelly leads the team with five touchdown catches.
Oregon will enter play ranked ninth in the nation with a 5-1 record.
Oregon suffered their first loss of the season a week ago in an instant classic against Washington.
Bo Nix, who is considered a candidate to win the Heisman trophy award, leads this Ducks offense. Nix has thrown for 1,796 yards, 17 touchdowns, and one interception.
Running back Bucky Irving has been the top back for the Ducks. Irving has rushed for 520 yards and five touchdowns.
Wide receiver Troy Franklin leads the team in receiving yards with 689 yards.
Oregon ranks 14th in college football in points allowed per game, 17.6.
Washington State vs. Oregon Pick

Ward and the offense will be able to move the ball with consistency and put up points.
