This is an 8* play on OREGON

The Pac 12 is in the midst of a down year. So much so that there's a very strong chance only one team from the conference will make the NCAA Tournament. Right now Washington leads the league with a 5-0 record. They are the only team without a loss. But few teams are really out of it. You'd have to figure that Oregon would be near the top were it not for losing star Bol Bol a couple weeks back. It was partly because of Bol's absence that I faded the Ducks Saturday night. But it was also because they were on the road and just a small underdog facing an Arizona State team that had beaten Kansas earlier in the year. Back at home, I expect Oregon to snap Washington's seven-game win streak and hand them their first Pac 12 loss. All four Huskies losses this season have come on the road. This is their first time starting 5-0 in Pac 12 play in 35 years. They were lucky to get away with a poor performance (missed 13 of first 14 shots) against a bad Cal team last Saturday. They still won 71-57, but are 1-9 ATS after the last 10 times they gave up 60 points or less. Oregon is 8-3 straight up in Eugene. Play on OREGON
