#203 ASA PLAY ON Washington State +16 over Washington, Saturday at 4 PM ET

As we’ve stated the last few weeks, this Washington team is primed to get upset.  We are on Oregon State last week and while the Huskies won by 2 points, OSU won the stat sheet with more first downs, more yardage, but had 3 key turnovers, 2 of which led directly to 9 of Washington’s 22 points.  Despite their undefeated record, the Huskies have been outgained in 4 of their last 6 games and 7 of their 8 Pac 12 wins have come by 10 points or less.  The defense has also fallen off drastically allowing 36.5 PPG in Pac 12 play and the only team that is worse is USC.  Wazzu is off a confidence building 56-14 win over Colorado.  The Cougars needed that win to keep their bowl hopes alive and now they need a win here so plenty of motivation beyond the rivalry aspect.  WSU has lost 6 straight prior to beating Colorado but they were competitive all but one of those games including hanging with Oregon on the road before losing by 14.  This line sits at -16 in favor of Washington and of the Cougars 6 losses only one has come by that more than that margin.  The State offense matches up very well vs this porous Husky defense.  The Cougars are one of the top passing offenses in the nation (4th in the country) with a dynamic dual threat QB Ward.  They are facing a Washington defense that allows 260 YPG passing (119th) and 24 completions per game (129th).  The Huskies just need to get out of this one with a win as they are already set to face Oregon in the Pac 12 Championship next week.  They don’t need any injuries and have no incentive to run this one up late in the 2nd half even if they get a chance which we don’t think will happen.  With Washington’s defense struggling and State able to score points (32 PPG) the Huskies would have to have a massive offensive day to have a chance to cover this big number.  We like Wazzu to keep up here and make this one interesting.  Take the points.
