Oregon vs Washington picks, player props: Pac-12 title odds

The stakes could not be higher for Friday night's Pac-12 Championship Game between Oregon and Washington under the Las Vegas lights. The conference's final game will fittingly be for all of the marbles. There are College Football Playoff and Heisman Trophy aspirations on the line for both teams. Who will leave Allegiant Stadium with their case to be the best in the country?

PLAYER PROP PICKS

Bo Nix UNDER 2.5 passing touchdowns (+108 at Caesars Sportsbook)

Bo Nix's odds of throwing three or more passing touchdowns in the Pac-12 Championship are heavily juiced (-148). This is because the Heisman Trophy front-runner has reached that mark in seven games this season.

However, he only managed to throw a pair of touchdowns in Oregon's lone loss to Washington. I believe Nix will come out swinging against the Huskies as he looks to lead the Ducks to the College Football Playoff. I don't think he finds the end zone through the air three times — not because he'll play poorly either — I believe Oregon will slowly break down the Huskies on the ground.

In addition, if you're giving me a plus sign next to something that's already happened this season, I'll take it more often than not.

Bucky Irving OVER 91.5 rushing yards (-117 at Caesars Sportsbook)

As I alluded to in the previous paragraphs, the Ducks have a ground game capable of dominating Washington. Bucky Irving averaged nearly six yards per carry the last time he faced the Huskies when he ran for 127 yards on 22 carries.

A line of 91.5 rushing yards is a sportsbook's way of begging you to take the under. We're not falling for the trap, though. Washington's rush defense is middle of the pack in the Pac-12. The Huskies are surrendering 134.6 yards per game, which is fifth-lowest in the conference.

Even though Irving has only gone over this mark four times this season, one of those games was against Washington. Oregon will be giving him the rock a lot again in order to do anything necessary to win the contest — Irving will shine.

Rome Odunze anytime touchdown scorer (-187 at Caesars Sportsbook)

There are a lot of uncertainties for Washington heading into this rematch. The Huskies are hefty underdogs, even after winning the first matchup, because of the way they've played down the stretch. There is one constant with Kalen DeBoer's offense, though, and that's Rome Odunze.

Odunze has been a touchdown machine. The junior has found the end zone six times across Washington's last three games and 14 times this season. He torched Oregon for 128 yards and two touchdowns in the first meeting, including the go-ahead score that proved to be the eventual game-winner.

Odunze is one of the top receivers in the nation and he's Michael Penix Jr.'s favorite target. When — not if, when — the Huskies find the end zone, there's a great chance Odunze is on the receiving end.
