Pick

I’m backing the Huskies here. A lot of times in these rivalry games, you can throw records out the window as these two teams just want to beat each other, but both of these two come into this game slumping and I just don’t think there’s enough of a difference between these two teams to suggest that it’s worth laying this number. I’ll back the Washington Huskies and the points here.
