On one hand, I like the competition of guessing the score and being fairly accurate. But I also like to be loyal. I'm also thinking we've played the spoiler against the Quacks more than once (and they on us). In 2018, at Autzen, it was Costello vs Herbert, and we won in OT, 38-31. They had mostly better stats, except for turnovers (us, zero, them, 3). Their TOP was 35:42, ours was 24:18. So, while it isn't entirely realistic to believe we'll come off with a W, I'm going with a 33-31 final victory. Go Cardinal!
A reasoned guess of the final score being conflict with emotional loyalty, I don't understand. What you THINK will happen has nothing to do with what you want to happen, i.e., what your impartial rational brain concludes will happen has nothing to with what your partisan sentiments would prefer. Hey, whatever. In 2007 I would have lost my shirt taking the points vs. U$C, which I almost did, but I was overjoyed at a George Thorogood concert that night in Berkeley, of all places! Watched that game at Henry's in the belly of he beast. kal fans were there cheering and high-fiving w/Cardinalmaniacs. True story. Oh, but if you're a betting person, take the Ducks and the points.
Obviously an even better experience watching that game with one bourbon, one scotch and one beer.
