Colorado at Washington picks and predictions
Prediction
Washington 52, Colorado 13
Moneyline
Washington (-10000) will cost you 100 times your potential return, and that’s obviously way too much risk for very little reward. Even though Colorado is awful, you cannot play a heavy favorite like this.
AVOID.
Against the spread
WASHINGTON -30.5 (-110) is worth a look on Senior Day.
The Huskies rank 8th in the nation with 498.8 total yards per game and are 1st in the country with 374.0 passing yards with QB Michael Penix Jr. under center.
On the flip side, Colorado has an abysmal defense, allowing 41.7 PPG to rank 131st while yielding 488 total yards per contest to check in 129th. This is going to be a lopsided affair between teams going in completely opposite directions.
Over/Under
Play OVER 62.5 (-112) is the lean ever so slightly.
Washington has the potential to take care of the Over all on its own. The Colorado defense is terrible, and Washington’s pass offense is the best in the country.
The Over is 7-2 in the past 9 games overall for Colorado. While Washington has cashed the Under in the past 3 outings, the Over is still outpacing the Under at a 7-3 rate this season.
