College football Week 7 top picks
As explained in my top Oregon vs. Washington prediction, this is my favorite betting angle for Saturday's marquee matchup. The best defense for the Huskies' explosive offense is to keep them off the field, and the Ducks can do that by giving more touches to their talented running back.
Irving has yet to have a game where he's finished with more than 13 carries, but he has cleared this mark three times and in back-to-back games with a reduced workload. In last year's meeting against Washington, Irving saw a season-high 20 carries and turned that into 146 yards.
Oregon has the advantage in the trenches in this matchup, as evident by it s No. 21 ranking in PFF's run-blocking grade. The Ducks would be wise to lean on their Irving-led ground game in this crucial road test.
