Question: Who do you think wins this game, and what is the final score?

Neel: I think that the Ducks will ultimately win this game, but I don’t expect it to be easy. We’ve seen Oregon have a knack for playing some close games this season, and I think Washington State is a team that can definitely give them a contest. In the end, Oregon’s defense should be able to do enough to win the game, as they have all season. Give me the Ducks, 31-24.

Smalley: Oregon gets the win here 31-20. The WSU defense isn’t horrible. They’re in the middle of the conference. They’re good enough to hold the Duck down to keep it relatively close, but the Ducks will score just enough to get the job done.

Patton: I think Oregon pulls it off but this has the makings of a trap game. 31-27 Ducks.
