The Huskies are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 on grass and 3-9 ATS in their last 12 overall. Washington is 1-4 ATS in their last five road games.
Meanwhile, the Buffaloes are 4-1 ATS in their last five in November and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 on grass. The over is 5-1 in their last six in November.
PICK: I’m going to try Washington here, but probably staying away. Both these teams are coming off ugly games. The Huskies posted a tepid 266 total yards against the Sun Devils in their last loss, with 4.2 yards per play, 17 first downs and a pair of turnovers. Things really didn’t start falling apart until the fourth quarter, though.
As for the Buffaloes, they put up 359 total yards of offense but allowed 502 on the other side to UCLA and couldn’t do anything at all in the second half. I imagine this will be a pretty close matchup most of the way but I still like Washington better on the cover.
