Arizona was able to pick up an impressive victory at home vs. UCLA recently, however, this is still a team that has underperformed this season and has lost 8 of their last 10 games. Washington had a slow start to their season, however, the Huskies have played much better as of late and as I just don’t see a Sun Devils team that ranked just 318^th in scoring offense & 206^th in scoring defense having much success on the road, I think Washington has no trouble covering this small home spread. Good Luck!
