The Washington Huskies look like a well balanced team capable of making some noise this season, but I need to see a little more to be convinced. Washington hasn’t had the toughest schedule in the world and I still can’t get over that opening loss to Montana. The Oregon State Beavers absolutely beat up on USC last week and appears to be an above average offensive team that’s currently 24th in total offense. This feels like the wrong team is favored. I’m siding with the Beavers at home.
