The Washington Huskies are on a three-game losing streak and need a bounce-back game in the worst way. If they can't find a way to beat up on the lowly Oregon Ducks in a rivalry game at home, might as well put a bow on the season. There isn't much more time for the Huskies to get quality wins and find a way back into the tournament conversation.
The good news is Vegas assumes the Huskies will win. They set the betting odds in Washington's favor by almost 10 points. The line as of the night before the game is 9.5 in favor of the Dawgs. It most likely won't change much unless there are some injuries announced in the final hours. These are good odds for the Huskies in a game they need to win.

FanDuel also has the over/under as 146.5 for the game. This, in combination with the spread, gives a Vegas prediction for the final score of the game. Washington 78–69 or 79–69, depending on whether you take the over or the under. Either way, it's a score that Husky fans will enjoy over the rival and annoying Ducks.
The money line is set at -610 for Washington and +440 for Oregon. There probably won't be a ton more changes ahead of the tipoff, especially as the fans may be distracted by the NFC Championship game also in town and the hometown Seahawks looking for another Super Bowl bid.
You can catch the Huskies vs. Oregon game long before the Seahawks kick off. There may even be some fans who try to go to both games. The Huskies start at 12pm on Peacock and should be done in plenty of time before the NFC Championship game.
