The Washington Huskies (7-0, 4-0 Pac-12) and Stanford Cardinal (2-5, 1-4) meet Saturday at Stanford Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Washington vs. Stanford odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Huskies had a close shave last week at home against Arizona State, eventually grinding out a 15-7 win to keep their record unblemished. QB Michael Penix Jr. might have fumbled the lead for the Heisman Trophy away, throwing for 275 yards with no TDs and 2 INTs. Huskies CB Mishael Powell bailed out Washington with an 89-yard pick-6 midway through the 4th quarter to give UW the lead.
The Cardinal were unable to carry over momentum from their miraculous comeback at Colorado 2 weeks ago. Stanford returned to action last Saturday vs. UCLA and was subsequently buried 42-7 as a 17-point underdog on “The Farm” as the Under (52) cashed. The total has gone low in 5 of the past 6 games for Stanford.
