The No. 8 Washington Huskies (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) face the Arizona Wildcats (3-1, 1-0) in Week 5 of the college football season Saturday. Kickoff from Arizona Stadium is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (Pac-12 Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Washington vs. Arizona odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Huskies took down California 59-32 at home in Week 4, covering as 20-point favorites and cashing the Over (55.5). QB Michael Penix Jr. is firmly in the Heisman race as he leads the nation in passing yards (1,636) and passing touchdowns (16). The Huskies are the No. 8 ranked team in the US LBM Coaches Poll.
The Wildcats escaped with a 21-20 win over Stanford in Week 4, failing to cover as 13-point road favorites while the Under (60) connected. Arizona looks much improved this season after going 5-7 in 2022, with its lone loss coming against Mississippi State on the road in Week 2.

Washington at Arizona picks and predictions
Prediction
Washington 48, Arizona 24
Moneyline
While the Huskies (-1000) are likely to win on the road in Saturday’s Pac-12 matchup, I’ll PASS on their moneyline at the current odds.
Against the spread
WASHINGTON -18.5 (-110) is how I’d wager on the spread despite Arizona being better than it was a season ago. The Huskies are rolling offensively with Penix under center and the Wildcats narrowly beat a dismal Stanford team in Week 4.
While Arizona is 3-1 ATS this season, Washington is 3-0-1 ATS despite being favored by at least 14 points in each of its first 4 games.
Over/Under
OVER 65.5 (-110) seems like an easy bet with how well Washington’s offense is performing right now. The Huskies have produced at least 41 points in each of their first 4 games and are averaging 49.8 points per game (3rd-most in the nation).
The Wildcats are posting a solid 28.5 points per game through the first 4 weeks. Arizona is 0-4 to the Over this season, but Washington is 2-2 to the Over and is capable of scoring 50-plus points itself.
