Here’s a quick little chart with a couple of key stats and a prediction.
yppoff | yppdef | ydsperRA | pred | |
Oregon | 11.6 | 20.7 | 3.2 | 28 |
Washington | 12.4 | 19.8 | 0.9 | 24 |
Our Pick
That chart simply gives a quick snapshot of the two teams by looking at their yards per point numbers, their yards per rush attempt and the score prediction from our model.
It’s so important to note that while those numbers are fantastic, you have to look at how they were accomplished. The opposition hasn’t been the strongest for these teams week to week.
That said, Oregon’s 3.2 yards per rush attempt leads the nation. Weak opposition aside, that number is worth paying attention to.
This should be a highly entertaining game. It would seem like going over the total of 67 is a no brainer but you can see from the score prediction above that our model says otherwise. So we’ll steer clear of the total.
Instead we’ll side with the underdog Ducks here. In what figures to be a game that’s up for grabs as w ehead into the 4th quarter, getting points is where we want to be.
