The set-up: While it's true that these two teams combine for 84 points and 967 yards per game this year, I believe tonight's contest will fall "under" this sky-high number. Oregon looks primed for a bit of a letdown here in my opinion after playing ranked teams in three consecutive weeks, with two of those games going to OT.

The teams: Oregon is averaging 43 PPG and it's limiting opponents to 122.8 rushing yards per game. Also note that the Ducks are averaging 209.5 rushing yards per game themselves. I think we're going to see a heavy dose of the run tonight.

Washington State is averaging 41.8 PPG, as Gardner Minshew has 2,422 yards, 19 TD's and four INT's.

The pick: Take it for what you will though, but Oregon has seen the total go "under" the number in four of its last six after two or more consecutive SU victories, while WSU has seen the total go "under" in four of its last six home games when the total is set between 63.5 and 70. This number is high, play the "under."
