Washington is a two-point favorite over Oregon in Week 7.
The seventh-ranked Huskies welcome the eighth-ranked Ducks to Husky Stadium next Saturday for one of the most anticipated games of the college football season. ESPN’s College GameDay will be in Seattle for the first top-10 matchup in the history of the series, and a College Football Playoff spot could be on the line.
Early odds from Circa Sports set the point total for the game at 64.5.

Given the way both teams have looked to open the year, bettors could be hammering the over on that point total.
Washington has the No. 3 scoring offense in the country so far this year, averaging 46 points a game. The Huskies also lead the country in offensive efficiency, averaging 8.8 yards per play. Arizona has been the only team to successfully slow UW this season, and it still lost 31-24.
UW hasn’t played anyone that has been able to match it point for point. Oregon absolutely can. The Ducks are No. 2 in scoring offense (51.6 points per game) and No. 3 in offensive efficiency (8.1 yards per play).
Points could be had in bunches when these two teams meet, and with both teams coming off of bye weeks, we could see the best of both. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. PT on ABC.
