Why Oregon can cover
Oregon coach Dan Lanning, who is in his second year at the helm, has been in this specific situation once before. Lanning was the defensive coordinator of the Georgia team that lost 41-24 to Alabama in the SEC title game before facing the Crimson Tide a month later in a rematch for the national title. The Bulldogs won the rematch 33-18, and Lanning was named the Oregon coach a few days later. Lanning told the media this week that he has drawn on the experience of losing to a rival in a key game earlier in the season before making the necessary adjustments to excel in the second meeting.
"Yeah, absolutely. I think you pull experience from every experience you've had in your life, but that's certainly one that you know, is similar in a standpoint of, you're going to play the game," Lanning said. "And every time you go out there and play the game, there's an opportunity for it to go one way or another. And we're certainly going to use the first game as a place to look at where we could have improved and attack a lot of those places and then try to figure out where their strengths are, where we can attack those as well."

Why Washington can cover
The battle-tested and experienced Huskies, behind fellow Heisman candidate Michael Penix Jr., have repeatedly shown resilience in the face of adversity and the ability to deliver key plays when they matter the most. Against Oregon in the first meeting, they stopped the Ducks on downs when Oregon was about one more first down away from sealing the victory. They found the end zone two plays later, with Penix hitting Rome Odunze with an 18-yard touchdown pass that stood up as the game-winner.
Oregon State two weeks ago In Corvallis, where the Beavers had won 16 of their past 17 contests. The gritty Beavers held Washington scoreless in the second half while fighting back from a 12-point halftime deficit. But Penix again delivered on Washington's final drive with a couple of clutch throws that allowed the Huskies to run the clock out. Washington also faced a stiff challenge last week in its rivalry game against an underachieving Washington State club that needed an upset win to become bowl eligible. The Huskies again answered the call with the game on the line and walked away with a 24-21 victory when kicker Grady Gross drilled a 42-yard field goal at the horn. See which team to pick here.
