Washington is a 7.5-point favorite in Santa Clara at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In their last eight games against teams with winning records, the Huskies are 7-1 SU.
The Huskies were just a 6.5-point favorite on the road against the Washington State Cougars last Saturday, but they left no doubt as to who the superior team was with a 45-17 win over their hated rivals.
Washington has bounced back from its loss against USC with two straight blowout wins, and the team’s efforts coupled with Michigan’s loss to Ohio State have moved the Huskies into No. 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings. All indications point to Washington advancing into the playoffs with a win over Colorado.
Over the team’s last seven games played in the month of December, Washington is 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS per the OddsShark College Football Database.
Betting Line / Total: Washington -7.5 / 58 Points
Trend: Colorado is 0-6 SU and ATS in its last six games against Washington.
Trend: Washington is 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS in its last seven games in December.
With a 27-22 win at home over the Utah Utes, Colorado completed its improbable run to the Pac-12 Championship Game. The Buffaloes went 6-40 SU in 46 games against Pac-12 opponents from 2011 to 2015, but that record has been blown away in 2016 with an 8-1 SU and 7-2 ATS record against conference foes.
Colorado is 4-0 ATS as an underdog this season with two outright upsets on the road over Oregon and Stanford.
Friday night’s total is set at 58 points. The UNDER is 10-3 in Colorado’s last 13 conference games.
Colorado’s only two losses this season came against Michigan and USC, two of the best teams in the country. The Buffaloes have a defense strong enough to slow down Washington’s high-powered attack and an offense capable of shooting out if it comes to that.
Washington has historically dominated the Buffaloes, but this year’s version of the team will be much tougher than ones that the Huskies have faced in the past.
