Puget Sound favored to finally end nine-game skid against Pacific OR

Pacific OR has owned this series, leading it 13-3 since 2010 and winning nine straight meetings. Puget Sound has not beaten the Boxers since November 2016, a run of history this Northwest Conference game will test directly, with the result counting in the conference standings.

Versus gives Puget Sound a 65 percent chance to finally flip that trend, projecting a 28-22 result. The Loggers come in at 2-4 and 134th in D3, with a C- grade on both sides of the ball, but their recent form has been uneven, going 2-3 over their last five games, and all four of their losses this season have come against teams with winning records.

Pacific OR enters 1-6 and ranked 204th in D3, with a D offense and a C- defense. The Boxers snapped a long losing streak with a win over Willamette, but their scoring has actually tended to run stronger away from home than at it this season. Puget Sound also carries the higher strength of schedule rank between the two teams at 86th to Pacific OR's 121st, another reason Versus leans toward the Loggers despite the series history working against them.
