Result:
WIN

The totals for this matchup every year have gone down. In fact, when the lines opened in '04 for this game it was set at 160 and has gone down every year since. There last 5 times they have played, 4 of the 5 have gone under with the one exception a game that went to OT. Today the line opened at 150 and it got pulled immediately down to 147.5. These 2 teams met earlier this year and the total came out be 137 with Washington winning at home 78-59. In a game where revenge is important at the dog's home court, I think Washington scores less with more defense from Oregon and will put up in the high 60's. Oregon keeps pace but I beleive puts up similar numbers in the low 60's. One team could hit over 70 but I think it's unlikely that both do. Let's follow history's trend and take the under here set at a high bar of 147.5 in a game that will be more defensive than offensive. Three stars on the UNDER here.
