College Football Odds
Washington -3
Total: 44 points
The line is steady here at Washington -3, where it opened a few days ago. Seems the oddsmakers are expecting there to be some quality defense to be played between these two squads.
The Huskies enter the game as the 10th-highest scoring offense in the country at 45.8 points per game. Stanford, on the other hand, is posting just 25 points per game on average coming into the contest.
Defensively Stanford checks in eighth overall in the country, allowing just 12 points per game while the Huskies are yielding 14.5 points, which ranks 15th best in the country.
This will be the biggest threat of the season for Washington, a team that has virtually played no one to date. Stanford is a bit more battle tested with a pair of conference games under their belt and a non-conference game against Kansas State, a power five conference opponent.
Christian McCaffrey leads Stanford in both rushing and receiving, making up for lackluster play at the quarterback position.
Washington comes in with big-play threats all over the field on offense, led by Jake Browning’s 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions. Myles Gaskin is averaging almost five yards per carry as well, giving the Huskies a strong option out of the backfield.
Stanford under David Shaw is used to playing in games like this, Washington is relatively new to the Top 10 scene. Yet, the Huskies have a distinct advantage at quarterback, which will be the difference here.
